Explore Thailand, Cambodia and Laos with $1000

What can you afford with one thousand dollars nowadays? The answer to that question in most developed countries would be "not much!" Well, my answer is "it all depends on how you spend the money!" You can either spend it on some expensive designer clothing, a beat-up car that can barely drive you to the nearby supermarket or any other possessions imaginable that won’t make any difference in your life. However, you can also use that amount of money to take a life-changing trip overseas -- but for that, you need the right travel guidebook. "6 weeks, 3 countries for 1 thousand dollars" is what this book is offering.

This journey is a road trip combining train rides and long distance buses across the three neighboring countries that are Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. All expenses such as accommodation, transportation, food, sightseeing and tours are already included in the thousand-dollar budget. You won’t need a single dime more!

During 42 days, you’ll visit impressive royal palaces, especially Bangkok's Grand Palace, which is considered one of the most beautiful royal palaces in the world. Still in Bangkok, you’ll have the opportunity to meditate with Buddhist monks in Wat Mahathat if you wish to do so. In Siem Reap, you’ll visit the mind-blowing Angkor Wat, a Unesco World Heritage Site. In 4000 Islands, in Laos, you’ll take a kayaking trip on the Mekong River and go meet the very rare Irrawady dolphins and also visit Southeast Asia's biggest waterfall. In Vientiane, You’ll be impressed by Pha That Luang, the biggest golden temple and most sacred monument of Laos. You’ll enjoy kayaking, tubing, and exploring Laos’ most impressive water caves in Vang Vieng. You’ll get a chance to swim in Kuangsi waterfall in Luang Prabang, considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world. You’ll visit the White Temple as well as the Black Temple in Chiang Rai. You’ll go trekking, and then relax in the small mountain town of Pai near the Myanmar border. In Chiang Mai, you’ll take a hike to Wat Doi Suthep, the most sacred Buddhist temple in northern Thailand. You’ll also visit the magnificent archaeological remains of Ayutthaya. You’ll explore Bangkok inside out and end your trip feeling like a millionaire while enjoying a memorable dinner with a view on the top of Baiyoke Tower, the tallest hotel restaurant in Bangkok. This is just a sample of all the things you’ll do during those 42 days, but when your trip comes to an end, you won’t believe everything you’ve been able to accomplish with only one thousand dollars. However, of all the great things you’ll see and do during this journey, the most memorable experiences are certainly going to be the people you’ll meet along the way.

Bon voyage!
