Hey guys!

I'm planning on traveling solo to South East Asia for 3 months ( feb,mar,apr ), and my budget is something between 2 500 - 2 700 United States Dollars. I'm visiting countries such as Vitenam, Kambodsja, Laos, Thailand and India, I'm also thinking about traveling to Indonesia. Is it possible going all the way down to Indonesia with train and boat?
So, my question to you guys; is this possible or do I need a stronger budget?

thank you for my time.

Cheers! Reply to this

Hello Tomas 😊

I think you have enough. You could aim at spending 500 per month on accomodation, everyday living and transport. Then have 100 per month for visas and any unforseen expenses. Then the rest could be for things you discover that are well worth spending extra on. Things like an interesting tour, an authentic hotel, an extra special restaurant, souvineers you would like to have.

Well, that is how I usually do it. I spend as little as possible, unless I come accross something special.

Of course, more money is always better so if you can get your hands on more.........
