Hello! This will be my first time writing something about my trip. I cant really work my english out, but here are the breakdown summary of our budget trip to New Zealand.

We rented our campervan online before we even depart to NZ and we got discount on early booking and also because it wasnt peak season.

So First we need to land at Bangkok, because the airway we picked was Thai Airway. Trust me, it was a good flight.

We checked out from the airport because our next flight was more than 8 hours itself, so we booked a nearby hotel in bangkok and tour the city before our flight to New Zealand.

Finally arriving at New Zealand, the first thing that welcome us was the cold harsh winter air. As we took a shuttle bus that bring us to collect our campervan nearby the airport. It was about 15mins or less the ride from the airport to the place where we pick up our campervan.

They will, of course, check all our driver's license, to make sure all of us are capable of driving. Then we will cross check the campervan damages, how to's and also safety.

Straight away we went for the nearest mall for groceries shopping before driving 2 hours to Waitomo.

She is kind of our driver for the whole trip...

This is how clean the inside look, there is another bed right where the camera man is, but we will leave that one out for now. As you can see, the campervan is big enough to squeeze 1 more adult in there. If you're my size.

And to save money, we cook most of our meals.

This is how our usual morning looks like. Ignore the bumps on the bed. That's just me really lazy to get up on such beautiful day.

We visited the glow worm cave right after breakfast.

Then we drove all the way down to Wellington, which takes such a long hours of ride, and this is our view at most times.

We of course, went WETA workshop. (so nerdy of us) We cant take photo during the tour, so here's a complimentary outside shot.

Aside that , we went to a big museum at Wellington. Be sure to check it out. Its free entrance. oh we got fined for parking without tickets.

Napier from Wellington was a long ride too. Where we bought some wines and sips champagne, well not really, but they do have great services.

We ride early down to Taupo to catch this amazing waterfall and scenery before our museum tour with the old lady that looks like Moana's grandmama.

Next day we have our hobbiton tour! Now who isnt excited for this?

Then we spend most of our days just enjoying our own free and easy time.

Below are my friend's spending. It really based on individual on souvenirs. But basedline, we only spend 6k or less which include, flight, campervan, food, and all entrance tickets.
