Asia attracts millions of tourists every year – thanks to its cultural diversity and unbelievably diverse landscape. The cost of living in most countries is much lower than in Europe. This makes many countries on the continent especially interesting for backpackers.
Due to the many destinations, it is makes sense to look for a cheap long-haul flight, e.g. to Bangkok and book a ticket with one of the numerous cheap airlines to get to your actual vacation spot.
