Hiya,
Hey there.
Budgeting can be difficult! But these countries are some of the best for it as they are very inexpensive. I spent 5 months in SE Asia, 3 years ago. It was my big trip and I didn't really budget at all. I ended up spending just over £4000, not including flights. The standards I had were a dorm room in a hostel each night, mostly eating street food (can sometimes work out cheaper than doing it yourself) and taking local transport.
Last year I went to Australia, and stopped off in Sri Lanka for 4 weeks - this place is the most expensive on your list. I budgeted on this trip (generally the same style of travel as before) and spent £600 total. However, entrance fees to ancient sites here can easily be $25-30 each place!
Your travel plans aren't especially too rushed but I'd recommend the 6 weeks Thai, 2 weeks Camb and 4 weeks Viet. That's pretty much how long I spent in each place and still didn't managed to quite see everything worthwhile. It's better not to rush things and take it easy - that's what I believe at least!
If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help
Ollie
Hiya,
thanks so much for your reply.
We've been thinking a lot and will probably delay our trip until after we've been home (maybe stop in sri lanka for one month and then head home/do family event/work for a bit) and then come out again once we have more money + don't have any time constraints so we can see/do everything we want, we will probably also incorporate other SE Asian countries then too.
I was hoping to do it on the way home cos I don't like flying so wanted to avoid flying back home then a flight back out but I'll suck it up if it means a better experience in Asia
Been in Myanmar for week so far,done Yangon now in Pyay and heading to Mandalay tonight and has been costing me a 50-60 Australian dollars a day which has covered accommodation $20-$30 a day and the rest has been on local guide $5-20 depending on length of time and about $5 dollars has covered an evening meal and a few beers and most of the Buddhist Padgodas take $3-5 off you to enter hope this helps
