Thais Travelling
How do Thai people decide where to go on holiday? This episode explores what shapes travel choices in Thailand: money, time off work, confidence speaking English, and personal preference. You'll hear why hotel prices soar at weekends, why some Thais avoid tourist spots popular with foreigners, and where to go for mountains in the north, beaches in the south, or a quick seaside trip from Bangkok. It ends with the many reasons people travel, from seeking adventure to proving what you're capable of, like the yearly climb up Phu Kradueng.
