These tips will help your travel budget go further. The 4 of us try to live on US$35 per day... which is certainly tough at times, but mostly we manage. please note: this amount only covers food and accommodation costs. We have a separate budget for transport and activities. 1. When in restaurants, order the local dishes. Here in Hoi An, you can order Cao Lau (noodles, beansprouts, salad and pork) pretty much everywhere for $1-$2 and it is delicious. Almost everywhere you travel in Asia you can find a local dish for around $2 per person, whether it be mi goreng in Indonesia, or pad thai in Thailand etc. 2. Eat the street food. It is delicious and cheap! Our local Pho stall in Vietnam is amazing and costs less than $1 per serve. 3. Be aware that drinks double your restaurant bill. We sometimes order drinks but mostly take bottled water with us to the restaurants. 4. Snuggle in: we normally share a triple room if possible and sometimes a double room if the bed is big enough. 5. Try to book somewhere with a free breakfast! It's suprising how much that little meal can cost you. 6. Always ask taxi's to use the meter. This is almost always cheaper than a fixed price deal! ...unless travelling by tuktuk, where anything goes. 7. Use booking sites like agoda or bookings.com to get the best accommodation deals along the way. We typically book the first few nights in a new place, then go searching for a better deal once we arrive.
