The Best Coffee in Patong

A big call saying the "Best" you might be thinking? I would even go as far as saying the best coffee in Phuket. This place is really in a catagory of it's own. If you love coffee and you visit Thailand, you mind find yourself a little frustrated getting your...

When staying in Patong, you really are spoiled with choice. Guesthouses, Hotels, Apartments and more. If you have read any of our previous posts you might have caught on to the fact that we here at Zudu Travel prefer Airbnb over any other form of travel booking. Keep reading because...

Samui Private Pool Villa

This was another awesome Airbnb experience. If you have read the previous posts, you would know this entire five week long trip was all booked with Airbnb. JC and I both love Airbnb. It is the best built, best user experience and best managed booking site there is by far....

Golden Buddha Pattaya

Pattaya often gets a bad wrap and many see it just as a party town. Sure, it's famous for the craziness you see on Walking Street. There are however other things to do and see around the Pattaya area. From the Wooden Temple - Sanctuary of Truth, the Nong Nooch...

1st Time Chiang Mai

Three days was all we had in Chiang Mai. Problem was, we didn't know much about this place so had no list of things we wanted to do. For this  reason we missed out on loads of cool things we now know Chiang Mai has to offer. Time wasn't wasted...

1st Day In Vietnam – Hanoi

This early part of the trip was planned to perfection. We flew in through Klia2 Airport. Only a 1hr 20min layover then onto Hanoi. Including extra luggage, meals, taxes etc, the flight cost $418AU total. We couldn't get a red eye flight with Scoot so we opted for Air Asia....

First time Vietnam – Visa & Drone

I feel like i should fill in some back story here. There was so much excitement to visit Vietnam and so much detailed planning that went into the 5x week long "Great Airbnb Trek". However there was some panic to set in due to some rookie errors. There was several...
