They may have started off as a quick sideshow to the main stage that was Paris Hilton\u2019s entire life but the early 2000s were a much different time. Oversized shades were still in style for crying out loud! This was considered the epitome of fashion:<\/span><\/p>\n

But now it\u2019s 2017 and the Kardashians are everywhere. Their show, aptly named, <\/span>Keeping up with the Kardashians, <\/span><\/i>has been on E! for 13 seasons, and in that time Kim\u2019s been married 3 times, famous Olympian and Kardashian patriarch Bruce Jenner became Caitlyn Jenner, Kendall started a career in high fashion and Kylie\u2019s face and proportions have evolved faster than my level 10 Charmander:<\/span><\/p>\n

But we\u2019re not here to throw shade. We\u2019re a travel blog,\u00a0so to be honest, all we really care about are the epic vacations this overexposed family take together every year. From the Western United States all the way to Southeast Asia, we\u2019ve decided to rank our favourite Kardashian vacations based on a highly scientific algorithm that includes decadence, drama and damage to your bank account. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Vail, Colorado, United States<\/h2>\n

Everyone loves a snow bunny right? The Kardashians are no exception to this rule and it\u2019s understandable when you consider that skiing is excellent exercise. After all, when you have a 10 person camera crew following you around 24\/7 it\u2019s sort of essential that at least <\/span>some <\/span><\/i>of your vacations involve physical activity. You really can\u2019t pick a better place in the United States to go skiing than Colorado, with incredible ski towns like Aspen and Breckenridge, the state\u2019s glorious expansive mountain range offers a lot to the winter lovers out there. Vail, in particular, is a great place to hit the slopes if you\u2019re stuck in an awkward co-parenting situation with your alcoholic\/sex addict ex-partner or if you\u2019re just trying to get away from it all with your mega-star rapper husband: perfect for every kind of relationship!<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we can\u2019t lie to you: skiing, in general, is an expensive hobby to have. From equipment rentals to lift passes, just partaking in the sport itself can be tough on your bank account. I had some trouble narrowing down exactly where the Kardashians stayed this time but if you want to recreate the magic you can choose from any place that Vogue considers cool like the Four Seasons Vail or the Sonnenalp Hotel, both of which are reasonably priced at a meager $300 a night for peasants like me and you. If you\u2019re prepared to leave your two private jets at home and simply take a Greyhound then you\u2019ll make this trip even more affordable!<\/span><\/p>\n

Decadence:<\/b> 3 out of 5 (plenty of 5-star restaurants with mountain views to choose from but nothing too outrageously indulgent)<\/span><\/p>\n

Drama:<\/b> 1 out of 5 (It gets one star instead of zero because at least Kanye let himself be on camera this time) <\/span><\/p>\n

Damage to your bank account:<\/b> 3 out of 5 (Skiing is expensive, accommodations are expensive, but if you visit during the off-season and pack a cooler full of freeze-dried astronaut food you could make it work on a normal person budget)<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Phuket, Thailand<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s possible that nobody told the Kardashians that it\u2019s easy to live quite lavishly in Thailand for only $70 a night (I\u2019m talking at a <\/span>really nice<\/span><\/i> 5-star hotel) because they settled on the nutso Iniala Beach House, a $150,000 per week beachfront rental in Phuket. But if my NBA star husband had just abandoned me, forcing me to move in with my shut-in, jobless brother, I might feel like I deserve to indulge a little too. And indulge is something the Kardashians do as if it were an Olympic sport. The house they called home in Thailand features hot tubs in every bedroom and an instagrammable infinity pool that spills onto Phuket\u2019s golden sands. The rooms are expertly decorated, with high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows scattered throughout. <\/span><\/p>\n

But as the Kardashians show us, there\u2019s way more to do in Thailand than just relax in your crazy resort style rental. You can go ziplining through the jungle, take 1200 selfies on the country\u2019s many beautiful beaches, lose yourself (and your worried parents) in the many unique shops and bars or celebrate your problematic and privileged self by visiting local orphanages or taking pictures with \u201crescued\u201d elephants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
