Thailand is definitely the ideal destination for college backpackers who are seeking a place with both a rich culture and an affordable location. Not to mention, you will certainly want to try the local Thai cuisine... too good to ever pass up. You can also go for an authentic Thai iced tea at the roadside stores! The basic expense on foods and accommodation there every day is as low as $20. The country’s spirit is in Buddhism temples and architectural masterpieces and full of Thai history: Wat Phra Kaeo temple, Wat Arun temple, Wat Benchamabophitr and Grand Palace at Bangkok. Try Thai Boxing if you're interested in the very unique sports.
