here are some of mine.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sukhothai_Thai_Beaches\"><\/span>Sukhothai Thai Beaches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Thailand beaches<\/p>\n<p>You only need to look at Tripadvisor&#8217;s latest \u201caward\u201d for the best beach destinations in Asia 2012, and you&#8217;ll get my point.<\/p>\n<p>7 beach destinations out of 10 on the top list were located in Thailand &#8211; if you want long, white beaches, clear turquoise water, coral reefs and cheap bungalows right on the sand \u2013 Thailand has it.<\/p>\n<p>Many people have been going on Phuket holidays year after year, but are now starting to look around for more options \u2013 which there&#8217;s plenty of (and yes, there are still many secluded beaches!).<\/p>\n<p><em>Personally, I wish there were a few beaches with good surfing, but I guess you can&#8217;t have everything &#8230; ;)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Koh Lanta has some of the most beautiful beaches, and while Khlong Dao wasn&#8217;t our absolute favorite beach on Koh Lanta (nothing beats Khlong Nin!) this beach was definitely living up to our standards:<\/p>\n<p>Beautiful turquoise clear water, soft sandy beach &#8211; and a bunch of cheap wooden bungalows with WiFi and hammocks just a few meters from the beach!<\/p>\n<p>Koh Lanta beaches<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sukhothai_Thai_Easiness\"><\/span>Sukhothai Thai Easiness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It almost seems like every new place I travel to reconfirms the fact of just how easy traveling around Thailand is.<\/p>\n<p>In many of the cheaper countries we&#8217;ve been to, getting around has been a huge hassle and very limited &#8211; in some places you can only choose between private taxis or taking horrific overcrowded and slow public transport.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t expect it to always be easy and smooth, but from our experience you have a good range of options in Thailand.<\/p>\n<p>You can go third class if you like, but the VIP First class buses are cheap and awesome as well, and knowing that you have the option makes things so easy.<\/p>\n<p>Things like Wi-fi connection is another thing that hotels in Thailand seem to really get, where in other countries in Asia it&#8217;s near impossible to find.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thai_Food\"><\/span>Thai Food<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Thailand drinks<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t say that I enjoyed all the food in Thailand, but there are a few favorites that I have longed for many times during the past year; the curries in northern Thailand, the banana pancakes, the typical fruit shakes, the fresh warm corn waffles from local street vendors, pad thai, mango sticky rice etc &#8230; :p<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prices_in_Thailand\"><\/span>Prices in Thailand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I was often surprised by how much cheaper accommodation was in Thailand compared to many of its neighboring countries, and the wide range of street stalls everywhere makes it super easy to grab a cheap snack or meal.<\/p>\n<p>The cheap prices is one of the main reasons why Thailand has become a good base for digital nomads, where you can live cheaply and have more money left over to spend on building up your company.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, when we looked for an apartment in different places around the world, we often found that you got more for your money in Thailand \u2013 maybe you spend the same, but you live a lifestyle impossible for that same price in Europe.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/things-to-do-in-thailand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Things to do in Thailand<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/things-to-do-in-chiang-mai-thailand\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Chiang Mai Thai<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/things-to-do-in-bangkok-thailand\/\">One Night in Bangkok<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/things-to-do-in-bangkok-thailand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Things To Do In Bangkok<\/a><br \/>\nWe Got Our Colons Cleaned Out<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/5-things-ive-learned-about-thai-people-while-in-thailand\/\" rel=\"noopener\">5 Things I&#8217;ve Learnt About Thai People While In Thailand<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/going-to-phuket-what-to-know-before-you-go\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Phuket Thai<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/sukhothai-thailand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sukhothai<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/sukhothai-thailand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sukhothai Thai<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After exploring Bangkok and Ayutthaya \u2013 we decided it was time to continue heading north and check out the \u2018crazy\u2019 city of Lopburi (which was apparently .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":15349,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[83],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15291"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15291\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
