Mzansi's most followed travel family sheds light
Briefly News contacted Candice King, the lady of South Africa's most followed travel family, to get her insight on this almost too-good-to-be-true trip.
Being her expert traveller, Candy quickly checked out the accommodation and confirmed it looked good. She explained that the dates of the proposed trip are during the rainy season, though, which explains the great rate.
Candy also said that they feel nine nights in Bangkok is too much. The Kings recommend spending three or four nights in Bangkok and then venturing to the islands or the mountains in the north.
“Bangkok is a city, and you can only see so much city. It is also really got. The heat radiates from the tar and the buildings, and you feel like you are in a sauna. After four days, you will definitely feel like you’ve had enough.”
Mzansi people share their thoughts
Many people took to the comment section to share their experiences, some living in Bangkok and others who have visited. Some shared their dreams of travelling and asked questions to make it happen.
Read some of the comments:
._Lyle_. Shared:
“This is really cheap... it's during the rainy season, but there's still lots to do . I live here now... but I miss Jozi Soo much...pap and steak”
Preciousdaiis is excited:
“Would love to do this with a group heii ”
Wisdom_Francis1 had questions:
“Where do you guys get these 10k flights is it one of those flights with over 36hrs layover time? My flight alone was close to 20k with the return. The cheapest was around 13 but with ridiculous layover time.”
Tshire shared:
“The fear in me to travel far alone, but this is exactly what I need to do ”
Trip to Thailand for two for just R999, SA trips
Briefly News previously reported that Daddy's Deals advertised a two-trip trip to the gorgeous Phuket, Thailand, for only R999 and were torn apart on social media.
Thailand has become a favourite tourist destination, especially for people from SA. With it being extremely affordable and no visas needed, it's a hot destination that makes for awesome vaycay envy snaps to post on social media.
So, when people saw the deal claiming a trip for two to Phuket, Thailand, would cost them only R999, they jumped on it and did their due diligence. At first glance, people called BS as there was no way a trip could cost this little. You can't even do a staycation for R999.
