36:35 Outro and thanks to Meredith Lerner
- Traveling to Thailand during shoulder seasons can be
incredibly affordable, with great meals for as low as $2 and
charming beach bungalows for around $75 a night.
- Booking hotels directly through their website can often result in
better treatment and the ability to earn hotel points, and many
hotels will match lower prices found on discount sites if you call
them.
- For the best deals on flights, set price alerts on multiple
search engines and clear your browser cookies regularly to avoid
being quoted higher prices.
