What is it that we should be thinking about when we go there? Is it Bangkok? Is it up near Chiang Mai up north? Or is it like Phuket, you know, Koh Samui? Where should we be looking to go?

David SmythGUEST
I mean, like I said before, I think a lot of people have this perception that it's beaches, you know, and we go down and we do our Te Puke and the likes of that and just hang out.

David SmythGUEST
But I mean, like I say, if you go up north into Chiang Mai, for example, you know, you're going to get little temples, Buddhist cultures, beautiful, beautiful mountain scenery.

David SmythGUEST
It's a much slower pace, so a lot more connection with nature and just, I guess, more rural settings, smaller villages.

David SmythGUEST
I think it's one of the drawcards of Thailand is the beaches and south, you know, and it's Koh Samui and it's those islands, you know, it's those limestone caves, it's the beaches, it's the kicking back, just, I guess, that real holiday feeling.

What are the main, I suppose, cultural or language groups that are spoken in South America? And what are the difference between those cultural groups?

David SmythGUEST
Yeah, so like you said, you know, the majority of South America and Central America is Spanish until you get down to Brazil, and it's got the Portuguese influence.

David SmythGUEST
But you actually have one little country up there in the northeast called Guyana, and it's a British colony, and they speak English.

David SmythGUEST
So, you know, it's, again, it's so diverse, and it's got so much that people don't realize it.

David SmythGUEST
But, you know, it's like I said, La Paz is just like a living museum, the capital of Bolivia.

What are we talking cost-wise? What sort of budget should we be thinking about? Because obviously Australia to South America is quite a way off.
Where in the World is David Smyth? "Vietnam"

D
0:44DougHOST
What is it that you love about Vietnam?

David SmythGUEST
Um, you know, obviously we, we think of Asia and its food, but, um, Vietnam is, it's got culture.
D
3:20DougHOST
It, uh, it's quite a modern, and technology's quite available these days there, isn't it?
