Hiya! Im going to vietnam, cambodia and thailand for 5 wks, how much money do you guys think i will need??

Question

Agh! im leaving on the 31/12/07 and i have about $2000 dollars saved up for spending and accommodation. Am i going to be able to survive or am i spending my holiday at the airport? :) Oh i'm 20 and can share a bed with the friend i am traveling with! Can anyone help me out?? Ah...i just cant save!

Answer 1

$20-$40 a day is enough thailand is more expensive ,but in vn, cambodia , lao, $20 a day [ average] you can eat well and get good lodgings. with $40 you can take the plane when and where its available.... ive stayed for 2 months on $2000 many times.

Answer 2

I'm advising you to go to the Philippines instead of vietnam, cambodia and thailand. The Philippines is the best country for value of money.

Answer 3

Thats what im about to do (apart from Thailand)! With $2000 you should be fine - but more would always be good :)

Accomodation in half decent places will set you back anywhere from $5 - $10 USD in Cambodia (assuming your going to be staying in Phnom Penn and Siem Reap?). If you want to look around Angkor Wat it will set you back about $20 for a 3 day pass. Food is incrediably cheap as well. A bus from Phnom Penn to Siem Reap will cost you around $8 - $10 (USD).

Im starting off in Ho Chi Mihn (accomodation for me and my GF is $17 per night)and catching a bus from Ho Chi Mihn to Phnom Penn for $20...

So overall, Vietnam/Cambodia should be fine - Thailand? Sorry not to sure..

Answer 4

You should be ok,but please don't carry all that cash,they have ATM machines everywhere.
