It is not so easy to visit a country like Turkmenistan. You better not apply for a tourist visa unless you want to book an expensive guide for your whole visit. It’s much better (and easier) to get a transit visa. However, the problem is that this visa is issued for only 5 days. So you don’t have much time to explore the country, especially when you’re backpacking or cycling across Turkmenistan. The country is very different from anything else. The government is in control of everything and they make sure that you don’t do things they don’t want you to do. Random police checks can happen everywhere, and in Ashgabat, the military is on every street corner to watch every step you take. That’s why Turkmenistan is the seventh least visited country in the world, receiving only 7,000 visitors per year. And we were one of them!

Hiking Mount Hua isnβt just a walk in the park. Standing on the edge of the cliff, on a one-foot-wide plank, and looking more than 6000 feet down into the valley isnβt something that everyone would do. There are stories that an average of 100 people die each year from falling off the cliff. We donβt want to be one of them. Weβre doing this step-by-step, and every step we take is made carefully. The views are breathtaking! But at a certain point, the plank path stops and the only way to get back is by taking the same route again. But now we need to overtake numerous of scared locals on this narrow path. Is this really the most dangerous hike in the world?
When we were in Sapa, with an almost expired visa, we had to go into Laos so we wouldn’t overstay our visa. We hesitated a lot what the best option could be, but knowing that weβre on a budget, we opted to take the bus journey to Muang Khua in Laos. There are a lot of horror stories about the bus ride on the internet that scared us. But it seems that a lot of them are outdated. Here youβll find our thoughts and up-to-date facts about this 24-hour journey.
Lopburi is a historic city, one of the oldest cities in Thailand, and just 3 hours away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. Itβs divided into two areas, New Town and Old Town. While thereβs not so much to see in New Town itself, letβs say that Old Town is rather β¦ interesting. Most of the domestic and international visitors donβt come to Lopburi to see the old temple complex, but to do some macaque spotting. Thatβs right, the Old Town of Lopburi is full of them, and they arenβt the kind and cute monkeys that youβre used to see in the zoo.
Thailand is a super backpacker-friendly country, which makes it easy to spend some time in the country on a very tight budget. Weβve spent almost two months in Thailand and managed to spend only $10 a day, even when we were traveling between places. Of course, not every day is the same, and there were days that we’ve spent way more than this. Especially, when doing tours or activities that cost money, it’s difficult. But still, it isnβt impossible. Thatβs why we wanted to share our experiences and tips on how we managed to travel cheap in Thailand on only $10/day.

Going to Thailand but don’t know what to expect budget-wise? Let us help you out! The Land Of The Smiles is an extremely budget-friendly country, and thatβs probably the fact why so much backpackers head over to Thailand.
