Recording a month long trip

I'm going to Thailand for a month and want to record a lot of the trip.

I looked into the GoPro, but apparently it only films for like an hour and a half before you have to charge it, and it doesn't have a screen on it, so not exactly what I'm looking for.

Are there any affordable camcorders for what I'm trying to do? I'd like to be able to take pictures too, but apparently it seems like it's either one way another, good pictures or good videos
