webfact Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 By leah Thailand‘s capital Bangkok sits among the top destinations for backpackers in 2023, according to UK retail company Cotswold Outdoor. Bangkok is a backpacker’s dream with cheap accommodation, delicious street food for a bargain, inexpensive beers, free activities, and a variety of public transport systems. While Thailand offers plenty of luxury travel options, it’s easy to have a blast in Bangkok even on a tight budget. Cotswold Outdoor carefully selected the most desirable destinations for backpackers around the world based on average costs, crime rates, mobile Internet speeds, couch surf hosts, and free attractions available. The top ten backpacker destinations this year are Yerevan in Armenia (No.1), Baku in Azerbaijan (No.2), Bangkok, Thailand (No.3), Hanoi, Vietnam (No.4) Seoul, South Korea (No.5), Madrid, Spain (No.6), Budapest, Hungary (joint No.8), Sofia, Bulgaria (joint No.8), Beijing, China (No.9) and Vienna, Austria (No.10).

mran66 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Goverment and TAT certainly disagree. Bangkok and Thailand shall not be any list for backpackers, rather for big spending ones if you ask them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqwakvfr Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I see backpackers all over Chiang Mai. I saw two talking over whether or not to eat at my favorite Thai Restaurant. In the end they walked because Ginger Chicken with steamed rice was 80 Baht. It’s 80 Baht because the quality of the food is good and every dish is made to order. More backpackers are needed to keep the hostels going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
