Why Budget Travel in Thailand Is Better Than Ever 

You may have heard the official story: Thailand is rebranding.

The whispers have been getting louder in hostels from Khao San Road to the shores of Krabi. The government is rolling out a polished new campaign, framing the Kingdom as a destination for “luxury healing” and sustainable wellness, a place to find oneself in serene, high-end resorts.

As over one hundred local businesses, including small long-tail boat operators and artisans, become certified for their eco-friendly practices, it becomes easier to spend your money where it matters with local people committed to preserving the natural beauty you came to see.

But let's be clear about one thing....
