Hello there fellow traveller.
Me and 2 other friends (19 year old) Max money: 18000-20000 NOK are going to travel trough Asia (For max 1 month) to explore the dephts of the world and our own minds. At this time we are aiming for deep jungles, crystal clear water and rich wildlife. We dont want to end up in a tourist hell, we rather seek other cultures. BUT we also want to experience the asian nightlife at its best.
- NOW, lets get down to buisniess.
We are wondering cheap ways to experience what I am looking for (Wildlife, temples, culture and underwater wildlife)
We are comming from Norway, and if you would be so kind to say cheap ways to travel to asia, Please do!
Also if you have been any nice places before that you would reccomend, do so!
And 1 more thing, we are wondering at wich time of year its most sun where we are going, wich I guess would vary on where you go,
anyhow, if you reccomend any time and place I would be happy.

If you are experienced in planning travels like I am aiming, and would like to plan our "main travels" such as flying,
we could pay you a small fee. Reply to this

that's about 4000 cnd, in my opinion that is a lot of money to be going on for one month (if you mean 18000 nok each). (I spent about 3-4 months in Thailand Cambodia Vietnam and Laos for about that much).

is that including the cost of a return flight, I'm not sure of the price from Norway to Asia but Vancouver Canada to Thailand was 5500 nok (1000 cnd) (approx), and then once you get there everything is cheap. beyond cheap sometimes if your willing to rough it a bit.

as for everything that you are looking to experience, you can find it all in Thailand, sunny beaches, greenery in the forests, excellent nightlife, and much much more, but you will have to endure streams of tourists who are looking for the same. With Thailand it's sort of hard to avoid it as it's such a popular tourist destination and so easy to get around in, as well as get to.
It's kind of something you have to deal with for the price of seeing such awesomeness for such a good price so easily.
as for planning, as much as I would love some extra money for my own travels, because Thailand has become such a popular tourist destination it is very very easy to plan your way around the country as you go. There are ample amount of travel agencies throughout the country with more then enough advice and trips available, just be wary and don't book with the first person you talk to. seek out other advice from other agencies before booking, even if this means going to 10 shops before coming back to the first one, it will save you hassle in the long run.

Once you land in Bangkok though (assuming this will be your first stop and landing destination) give yourselves a day or two to orientate yourselves and get over the jet leg, and it's pretty easy from there, if your still in doubt, best bet is arm yourself with a good travel book!

all the best! Reply to this
