How much I spent daily traveling in Southeast Asia 💰 #shorts

I started (manually) tracking my everyday spend during the beginning of my travels in Southeast Asia. It was a way for me to have a better understanding of personal spend and to budget (which never ended up happening) because I’m generally not a huge spender, unless it’s for food.

✍️ A few things to note: I limited myself from buying souvenirs/shopping because of limited luggage space (until I got to Malaysia), barely partied (unless I was in Thailand 🤪), didn’t eat 3x/day, stayed at hotels rather than hostels, didn’t have to worry about covering for someone else (I actually find it cheaper traveling alone), and did EVERYTHING I wanted to do.

There wasn’t one thing I had to limit myself from doing because I was trying to “budget” but again, these are budget countries 🤷‍♀️

To be completely transparent, these daily averages are actually a LOT more than what they came out to be because 85%+ of my flights/hotels were free. These numbers reflect the total dollar amount as if I didn’t get the freebies, but I will definitely be sharing how I was able to travel for free so be on the lookout for that!

There are SO many ways to make travel inexpensive and still enjoy every single moment on your trips. But with all this being said, which country were you the most surprised about?! Let me know in the comments below ⬇️

[BellasDiary]

Don’t know why I was waiting to see Singapore on the list 😆🫣 kinda curious how much it’d cost per day as a traveller here

[YourlocalaverageASIAN]

Bro 56 dollars that like around 1000 baht while that might not seem like a lot the average pay check in Thailand is like 300 baht so

Where did you get the white and red trousers from

[awesomeapple-jtjd]

You must be living lavishly fr. Your budget could easily be a 1/3 of that

"Solo" so your camera just happens to float after you?

[janetseow]

[findinggreatness]

Wurd how sweet wash your time traveling

[islammaster]

Come Myanmar, 30 dollars is enought you to live like a queen

Indonesia and the Philippines are overpriced and not worth what they’re offering. Thailand is definitely worth that much a day and Malaysia is where you get the best value. I haven’t been to Cambodia since 2006, so I am not sure what it looks like now but has a lot to offer surprisingly. I will be in Laos in a few weeks after I hangout in Thailand for the month.
