When I was at BTC Prague (npub167n…zu3r) I heard a lot of myths about Thailand 🇹🇭

After 5 years living here let me clear them up.

Here’s myth #1: Thailand is just for backpackers.

Maybe this was true 20 years ago, but it couldn’t be further from the truth today.

Yes, Thailand has a low cost of living. But it also has incredibly high quality and high value services.

For instance, I can get a Thai massage at a local shop for $6/hour. Or I can go to one of the many high end spas in Chiang Mai and get the service, amenities and surroundings of a 5-star hotel for $30/hour.

I can eat a local meal for $2, or a Michelin-star fine dining meal for $100.

Beers in a local bar for $2 a pop, glitzy rooftop cocktails for $10.

These are all accessible within Thailand, matched with service that’s way above and beyond for the price you’re paying.

You can definitely live a cheap life here; but you can also live one of great luxury, for good value.

Don’t sleep on Thailand 🇹🇭
