Backpacker Travel
Baring in mind the current political and economic situation is Thailand safe to travel around?
As the question asks really, it would be appreciated if someone could post roughly how much would be needed to backpack around for a month on a backpacker budget so to speak with train travel included. Thanks and merry christmas everyone..
Complete safe. As for roughly how much money for a backpacker would be $30 to $40 a day not including entertaining a young lady.

A Few Perfect Hours…and Other Stories from Southeast Asia & Central Europe $12.95 Autobiographical cartoonist Josh Neufeld takes us on a dramatic tour of places as exotic and different as Thailand, the former Yugoslavia, and New York City. Highlights include Neufeld and traveling companion Sari Wilson on a volunteer expedition to an organic farm in Malaysia, their stint as extras in a Chinese-language Singaporean soap opera, a train trip through war-torn Serbia, and a near-disastrous cave adventure in Thailand. With gentle humor and a keen eye for the revelatory detail, Neufeld explores religion and spirituality, politics and personalities, and the mysteries of everyday life. His stories reflect the backpacker’s conflicted feelings: a yearning for adventure mixed with homesickness and a sense of disconnection, trapped in a reality constantly in flux. In the collection’s title story, Neufeld illustrates how the tensions and fears involved in travel through a strange country are dispelled by a Thai monk’s blessing. In On a Mission, Neufeld contrasts the viewpoints of American Baptist missionaries in northern Thailand with the traditions of a Buddhist festival. And in Cremations, Cubicles & Cant, Neufeld juxtaposes his grandmother’s Jewish funeral with a Hindu cremation ceremony he witnessed on Bali. |
