    It looked like you two were living it up in the lap of luxury...bliss! Good on you, you deserve it! But I was also impressed with the quality of the $30 Airbnb in Thailand. Good job sharing your experiences with budget and expensive.

    When we travel for stays longer than 2 days we do Airbnb so that we can spread out and relax, but 2 days or less we just book a hotel. Thanks for sharing your experience here! Can’t wait for the next adventure

    There are so many things to love about traveling but a solid hotel breakfast is among my favorites. Waldorf was no joke! You are so right that a dollar goes a long way in SE Asia, so you get value anywhere. However, you get that amazing service and experience at the WA. And that view!!!! Loved the video you two :) I always look forward to your next one everyday Sunday morning! Thanks for sharing, stay safe y’all.

We’re currently back in the US visiting family and friends while editing all of our Thailand videos (have a lot to catch up on!).

    Personally not a fan of luxury hotels! In SE Asia, you can get super nice accommodation (like the first place you showed) for dirt cheap. I can't justify spending 10× the price, when a regular AirBnB has all I need. With all that extra money picking cheap accommodation, you have the extra money to splurge on nice restaurants, Thai massages or whatever else you feel like!
    If I'm traveling, I also don't typically spend more than a few hours a day in my hotel (unless I've got work), so the extra luxury is wasted on me. 😃

    • @KeepGoingPlaces

      Haha 😂 We’d recommend the long term stay in the budget place and at least one night at the Waldorf if you can swing it. It’s hard to capture the service and overall experience at the Waldorf Astoria, but it was superb!

  • @kerrysmith8411

    I just checked the ‘cheap’ place on line using your link and it wasn’t USD 30 per night, it was AUD 121 per night ie abt this USD 93 per night …..

    • @KeepGoingPlaces
      @KeepGoingPlaces  2 роки тому +2

      Market prices change constantly on these airbnbs in Thailand, and likely will continue as Thailand keeps improving its travel entry requirements, which creates greater demand. And it depends heavily on travel dates too.

    Expensive $300 per night hotel….good if you can afford it….but if you are staying for 1-2 weeks just for vacation and not spending much time inside the hotel the $30 Airbnb is enough 👍
