Video Description
We're exploring Phuket and Bangkok in this week's Thailand travel vlog. Thailand is a beautiful Southeast Asian country that has SO much to offer for so little cost. Check out our experiences island hopping, floating on lily pads, tasting local foods at markets, admiring the most beautiful temples, riding the busy streets by motorbike and tuk tuk, and gaining new perspectives from Black expats who have lived in Thailand for years. We also go over some of the Thailand travel requirements. This video goes over everything we did and associated costs so you can start planning for your Thailand trip! Watch this video to see how we spent 5 days in Thailand for $455/pp. Prices can of course vary depending on dates, and the number of people you travel with. This is just to give you an idea!
