Thread: Advice wanted: We're going backpacking, almost...

Not about skintness. Just that I've scoured all rip off options and some are just plain stupid, eg.Van from Trang then speedboat almost 600. Songthaew to pier then local boat comes to around 200.

Ditto hotels online, many claim to one room left but we know that's a load of bullshit. Now I have a traveloka code valid 48hrs (just booked flights through them) we won't be scouring around for a bungalow on arrival.

Actual hotel/bungalow budget is around 900. Just that in the past I've booked in advance only to see place not online that are cheaper and better.

But keep the suggestions coming. They're well appreciated.

Apart from a couple of above posts.
