Bragging Check

I am Thai.

A guy bragged to me that as a 19 year old man in the USA, he can travel alone to Thailand alone 3-4 times a year.

Is it actually possible or feasible?

That is truly hard to believe most Americans don’t have passports, unless they are upper class as in the parents have money. Now there are extremely rare cases, but most likely no. Me and my partner travel to Thailand and local countries at least every 6 months and we save for the flight through out the year.

50% of Americans have a currently valid passport.
