Golden temples, street food and turquoise beaches: the Asia of your dreams.
Thailand is the perfect introduction to Southeast Asia: an e-Visa within reach of a Cameroonian passport, flights via Addis, Istanbul or Doha, and unbeatable value once you land. Between Bangkok's temples, the mountains of Chiang Mai and the turquoise waters of Phuket and Krabi, you go from the buzzing city to the tropical postcard in a few hours — all on one of the gentlest daily budgets on the continent.
