Answer 2

It's a lot of money to spend.

I lived at KL Malaysia, before at Vietnam. Living cost in Malaysia are triple more. But you could find a lot more in Malaysia also.

In a week me & wive spend VND 2 mill (US$ 150) while in Vietnam, its very cheap. But city buses I could not understand much. Taxi are very cheap, but use only Vina Taxi.

Thailand most of it similar to Malaysia. Its easier to travel. Buses are comfortable. Meal cost only US$ 5-10.

Cambodia, its very expensive for foreigner. I could not find single cheap spot when were there. They charge us foreigner with US dollar. Meal is US$ 10 to 15. Taxi would cost US$8-15, even Tuk-tuk will cost the same.

And there is an extra US$ 20 to get out from this country.

Cambodia offer much of good site to see, such as Ankor city.

Have fun!
