Any sugesstions?

People seem to talk about Thailand a lot. It's not somewhere i really fancy going but i've met people who've said they've spent a few months there with just a few hundred quid.

cheap

after youve spent over £500 on flights..


yeah, sorry, i meant after flights.

Even with flights it's not that bad. I met a couple who took £800 and stayed out there for six months. You'd spend £1800 on two weeks in Florida!


That's

pretty frugal. I stayed there for a few months back in 2002 and was having a pretty good time on £70-100 a week.


bracknell is interesting

with the ski slope and water clock, but not cheap. £3.20 for a pint a guiness at south hill, outrageous.


It's the getting there that puts me off going to Poland.

I know a few people out there, so i could stay rent-free i think, and by the sounds of it i'd like it; vodka with breakfast, horrible weather, amazing food, but it took my friend 22 hours to get there. Sod that.


did they walk?

surely the flight is like three hours?


coach.

can you really get there that quick? i might go. is there work over there?


^ I was going to say Poland

Cheap food and drink, and lots of interesting history.


Dalston

Alternatively: Estonia (and presumably through to Lativa and Lithuania, if you like), I went a few years ago and it's great. Plus cheap flights.

And Poland, seconded. Go to Gdansk, it's effing brilliant.


India

can be quite expensive to get to but once you're there it's amazing. And seriously cheap.

Or how about Vietnam?


Another vote for India

Very cheap and totally amazing!


india

is amazing. fact.


I didn't get sick

at all in three weeks. You just have to make sure you don't eat meat, only eat fish when you're right on the beach and be careful with water and stuff. And always wash your hands when you can.
