Who am I?

Hi pals – I’m Chelsea.

Or ‘Chelsea Travel’ as my friends like to call me.

And that’s because I’m just ever so slightly obsessed with booking holidays.

This ‘obsession’ kicked off a year long challenge where I tried to see how many holidays I could do for half the price the average Brit spends in a year.

What ensued was 10 incredible getaways that included staying in a $1.7 million apartment in New York, a free 2 week stay in Paris and even a business class flight to Benidorm (I kid you not, lads). All of which were captured on my Youtube channel, how many holidays.

Once complete, the challenge got picked up by a whole host of news sites and shared by thousands, and so I thought ‘eh up – people do like a good deal, don’t they?’.

So here I am – continuing on in my cheap holiday search and hoping to help you make the most of your money as well.

The me 2 weeks ago is laughing at the me of just now who put on 2 pairs of tights 😬🌬❄️ • Though I am actually WELL HAPPY that I get to wear my big coat again🧥 • Got a few more pics from Thailand to finish off the trip (love that I obviously just got bored of posting on Instagram for a while... it happens!) but then it’s on to frosty times here in London 🇬🇧 • 🎄Off to my first Christmas Party of the year tonight and counted up that I’ve got FIVE coming up. How many do you have?! • Wow, this caption is all over the place. WELCOME TO MY STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS GUYS 🙃 • 📸 @cumbrianjames • #thailand #kohkanta #pimalai #pimalairesort #pimalairesortandspa #travel #discoverunder10k #latergram

Sunset in Koh Lanta 🌅 • If you saw my stories you’ll have seen that we got upgraded to a POOL VILLA at the incredibly fancy Pimalai Resort and Spa and I’ve basically ruined all future holidays for myself 🤣🤣🤣 • #travel #instatravel #travelgram #thailand #kohlanta #pimalairesortandspa #sunset

The Four Island Boat Tour ⛴ • I’ve heard a few mixed reviews from this boat tour - which you can get from both Koh Lanta or Krabi - with a few people commenting that they can really cram you on 👨‍👨‍👦‍👦👩‍👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 • Well, imagine my surprise when we got this boat for just the 5 of us aboard - WHAT A WINNER 🎉 • For £21 (around 800 baht) we got: - Transfers to the pier - An 8 hour boat trip - Water and lunch provided - Snorkelling gear - A trip to four local islands! • Sure, some of the areas were overrun by tourist boats (just look at the snorkelling photo!) but for the money it was great to see more of Thailand and appreciate how STUNNIN’ it can really be 👏 • Oh and it finally gave James and I the chance to get a picture on a swing. We have now OFFICIALLY visited South East Asia 🤣🤣🤣 • Have you been on one of these type of boat tours before? What did you make of it? • #fourislandboattour #kohlanta #boattrip #thailandboat #thailand #krabi #fourisland #cheaptravel #instatravel #travelgram #discoverunder10k

🛏 This is what £51 a night will get you in Koh Lanta 🐘 • Not too shabby, eh?! • 🏨 We went for the cheapest room at Alama Sea Village Resort and I’m glad we did as we didn’t end up spending much time in there at all! • The room was really nice, though the bathroom/dressing area up the stairs didn’t have aircon and so was the HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH 😂 but was nice to have that separate space as it kept the room tidy. • 🏊‍♀️ They also had an infinity pool overlooking Kantiang Bay - though the sunset is hidden by a big hill in the distance! 🌅 • ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ As a 3 star resort, everyone was nice enough but don’t expect incredible service or a buzzing bar/social space 🍸 • 🛵 Being pretty self sufficient, we were happy enough and it made a great base for exploring the island and doing a boat trip during our 3 days there 🗺 • 👫 Overall, would I recommend to a mate? Yeah! But I’d caveat it with a solid ‘you get what you pay for’ and also direct them to Why Not Bar down the road for a fab place to drink of an evening! 🍺 • P.S. how annoying is it that both lights aren’t on in that photo?! 😬😅😂 • #kohlanta #alamaseavillageresort #hotereview #kohlantahotel #cheapholiday #cheaptravel #travel #travelgram #instatravel #discoverunder10k #iphone11pro

🌊 A Big Wave That Soaked My Shorts: The Anthology ™️ • After three days in hectic Bangkok, we flew just over an hour to Krabi ✈️ • TOP TIP: Don’t just book the cheapest flight - check for the prices Thai and Bangkok Airways offer as they both include 20kg bags 💼 • We then jumped in a £15 shared minibus and made our way to the island of Koh Lanta 🚐 • The journey, via car ferry, took just over 2 hours for us to get to our £51 a night hotel, Alama Sea Village Resort 🏨 • More pictures of that to come soon! 📸 • 📷 @cumbrianjames • #kohlanta #kolanta #thailandbeach #thailand #thailandisland #beachholiday #travel #travelgram #instatravel

🛏 One last photo of our first three days in #Bangkok as I had lots of questions about the cute #Airbnb we stayed in - so save the post or tag a mate to remind yourself at a later date!📍 • 🏩 This place is called Yeast & Yawn and is a guesthouse/Airbnb hotel ran by Oak and Tong and booked through @Airbnb (that’s their preferred choice). • 💷 It cost us £38 a night (2 night minimum stay) which gave us one of their large rooms with a small balcony, large private bathroom and breakfast included - you can choose from Thai or American and they deliver it to your door each morning a tiffin carrier 🍳 • They have 4 rooms to choose from and the smaller rooms are currently only £28.50 a night!! BARGAIN! 💸 • 👨‍👩‍👧 The thing we loved the most was staying with a family ran venture - in fact the couple welcomed their first daughter the day before we arrived and were still on hand to look after us! • Oak and Tong told me that the building was originally their family’s but they spent a year renovating it and turning it into their Airbnb business. Next year they’ll be opening a cafe downstairs, (hence the ‘Yeast’) 🥖 to go along with the rooms (the ‘Yawn’!) 🥱 • Not an ad, just love supporting small businesses that I feel are nailing! ☺️ • To book yourself, search for ‘Yeast and Yawn Bangkok’ and it will come up - or message me and I’ll send you the link. 📩 • #bangkok #bangkokhotel #bangkokhostel #bangkokairbnb #bangkokcheap #bangkoktrip
