Why do you need to even travel if you don’t have 500k baht or $15,000? Stay in your country, work hard and save. When the time is right, travel stress free and with financial security and responsibility.

@Wais *********
so people with less than 15k shouldn’t travel outside of their own country? What an elitist attitude.

@Wais *********
you certainly do not need $15,000 to travel …Wais **********
@Rok *******
of course you need the money. He is saying he doesn’t have the $15,000 and his parents have to cosponsor him in order to get the DTV.Simas *********
