Anyone want to go on a round the world (RTW) adventure? If you leave from Bangkok you can buy a first class RTW ticket for $3,400, which is cheaper than a business class round trip from Boston to London. RTW tickets have some oddball rules & regulations, like only flying "mostly" in the same direction and you need to finish the trip in a years time but also take more than two weeks to do it. Still, you can often stop in dozens of cities all over the world: RTW article. As a teaser, here's the travel map for one person's RTW journey

Of course you somehow need to get to Bangkok in order to start this cheap luxury journey. Roundtrip Boston to Bangkok tickets start a $826.
