13 Hot Budget Destinations to Escape the Winter

10. Koh Phangan – Thailand
Southeast Asia is generally a super cheap region, but Thailand makes it even more attractive by being organized and offering superb quality. It’s no wonder it’s a popular destination for those willing to travel with young children. As you set foot on the Thai islands, you quickly understand why it’s called “The Land of Smiles.”
Koh Phangan is less developed than Koh Samui and cheaper than Koh Tao, making it the perfect place to find untamed nature at reasonable prices. There’s nothing like renting a scooter for the day (or the month, if you have the time) and exploring every part of the island at your own pace. Just remember it gets extremely busy during the Full Moon Party.
