Tourist Traps
An ageing backpacker in a digital world

Tourist Traps

Three very different locations with one obvious similarity; they attract lots of tourists. 

Phu Quoc Island – Viet Nam

This is Viet Nam’s largest island. Most of the tourists here are Vietnamese people who fly down from Saigon for a week or two. I spent just over a week exploring Phu Quoc.

Is Viet Nam’s largest island a good backpacker destination?

Bali

A small island in the middle of a vast archipelago. This is where everyone goes which means it’s cheap to get to, but is it the best place to stay?

This video got 4000 views and a comment that said “Silly”. Go figure.

Bangkok

Love it or hate it you are probably going to pass through it if you visit South-East Asia. My advice would be to try to take in a few of the sights and move on before you start thinking this place is normal.

This city runs at a crazy pace. Can you keep up?.
