We only had a month until we flew, and with 2 weeks remaining of revision still, there was limited time to actually plan anything for the holiday, including hotels, which got booked 24 hours before we flew, during a 7am skype from bed!
A very stressful 24 hours later however.....we were full to the brim with excitement...
32 hours and 3 flights later we landed at our first stop: Chiang Mai.
3 nights and 4 days later we headed down to Koh Phi Phi via a verrrrry dodgy night stop in Phuket.
From Phuket we took the ferry, which was definitely 'Thai safe', not 'English safe' and got ourselves a very long lasting sun burn.
We had 6 amazing days on Koh Phi Phi, staring at this view all day long, then back home via Phuket, Bangkok and Doha.
38 hours of travelling later we were London-bound with a bag full of Thai goodies, lots of funny stories and 1000's of photos to share.
We hope the Thailand posts which follow show how Thailand can be done in a student finance budget of £900. On average, our accommodation cost £9 a night each, and food cost £5 a day. Thailand is definitely the place for an incredible holiday, even on a limited budget. Pack your bags and go!
