{"id":6,"count":9,"description":"Backpacking in Thailand is one of the best travel decisions you will ever make. If you love Food, Sun, History and Tropical Beaches you will love your time in \"the land of smiles\".\r\nFrom delicious street food and floating markets in the midst of the mayhem that is Bangkok City, to Thailand's famous Tropical Islands like Koh Samui... you can party until dawn or lay around on the beach all day soaking up rays. It's all not only possible in Thailand, but also very affordable.\r\nWe lived on Koh Samui in a beach bungalow, not 20 metres from the waters edge for an entire month for as little as $25 per day. \r\nWhen you get bored of all the sun & beaches... you can head north to Chiang Mai, hire a motorcycle and take a self-guided tour of Northern Thailand around the Mae Hong Son Loop... even visiting the Karen \"Longneck\" Hill Tribe people close to the Burmese border.\r\nWhatever it is that gets your travel juices flowing... your bound to find something to excite you when backpacking around Thailand.","link":"https:\/\/artofabsence.com\/category\/backpacking-in-thailand-2\/","name":"Backpacking in Thailand","slug":"backpacking-in-thailand-2","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artofabsence.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/6"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artofabsence.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artofabsence.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/artofabsence.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=6"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
