IF YOU'RE TRYING TO PLAN THIS YEAR'S VACATION ON A BUDGET, HERE ARE 12 AFFORDABLE ASIAN COUNTRIES TO VISIT NEXT
Everything is getting more expensive these days — from filling your car with gas to buying eggs — and travel is no exception. But after traveling all over the world, I've learned that one of the best ways to keep your budget in check is to visit an affordable country — places where a private room will run you $10 and a grab-n-go lunch costs less than $2.
If you're interested in planning an affordable vacation, say hello to Asia. While it may not be particularly affordable to get to — especially from the US (but really, at this point, where is?) — it can be relatively affordable to travel in if you know where to look.
To help you wrap your mind around some of Asia's most affordable countries, here's a handy rundown of destinations (along with general prices for hostels or food you can find) if you're looking to travel on a budget:
1.Indonesia
2.Laos
3.Thailand
4.Sri Lanka
5.Nepal
6.Vietnam
7.Malaysia
8.Cambodia
9.India
10.Philippines
11.Bangladesh
