Dreaming about taking a trip of a lifetime? How about making it a lifetime of trips traveling the world! For over 35 years John Bucher Herr and his wife Martha have been doing just that. John shows in his books how to experience the world in comfort by avoiding travel agents and dealing directly with the airlines and hotels. By learning the difference between a tourist and a traveler. John learned to succeed at luxury travel without the luxurious price tag. Why pay $75/night for a hotel when the same hotel will lease a room for $700/month? Why pay full price when you can snag deals from airlines who have unsold seats? If your bucket list is long, the odds are with you for many experiences for travel at low cost.

A home away from home for the Herr’s in Southeast Asia for thirty trips in twenty eight years. An accounting of the changes in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Phi Phi, Kanchanaburi, and Chang Mai. The Kingdom of Smiles still remains wonderful. See the 6 am train coming over the Bridge at the River Kwai!
