Visiting Thailand is a must for any backpacker. Cheap Hostels from $1 per night are a plenty however be warned they are not pretty. When travelling in South East Asia it is best to pay a little more and travel in comfort. There is much to see. Don’t miss Kho Phi Phi beach. That is where The Beach staring Leonardo Di Caprio was filmed. The night life in Bangkok must not be missed.

Travelling on a budget can mean calls to family are not a priority. But what do you do when you are missing them? Skype is the answer and has been around for a few years. With Skype you can make free international calls. For those that don’t know VoIP is the technology that powers Skype and the other internet based telephony services. This has meant that computer to computer voice calls are totally free.

If your family at home have a computer, broadband, microphone and a headset they can be ready in minutes to receive that call you have been putting off. If they are not comfortable with using a computer when making a phone call you pay for a Skype phone device and set it up before you leave on your travels. All you need to do is to configure the device to your local network and you will be ready to dial in seconds.

Using VoIP to make international calls is the easier way to call Thailand. In years gone by you may have used a calling card, but these days most people have access to the Internet. If you are in Thailand and need to call back home the best way is to get to an Internet Café and call your folks. As long as you have warned them to be at home you can chat for as long as you want.
