South East Asia for a beginner traveller?
Hello everyone,
I have never been travelling before and I am planning on going to South east Asia this summer for 8-9 weeks or so. As I am a newbie to travelling and I will be going on my own I have been looking at tours around the region and one tour called Indochina Discovery which is 30 days and starts from Bangok goes into Cambodia,up Vietnam, across into Laos before going to Chaing Kong and Chaing Mai before finishing again Bangok. The cost of this tour is £1499 and that doesnt include all the meals, just transportation (not including flights) and accomodation? Do you think that would be good enough value for money or a bit of a rip off? Would it be alot cheaper doing it on my own?
Thanks, any knowledge or advice would be much appreciated
agreed. if you are total new to travel plus all by yourself, it will be a great investment to start your trip with a guided tour
you can do this part of the world as cheap or lavish as you choose
depends how much you can afford for one
and what level of luxury you are comfortable with
some places you can have a great newer room for 5$ or ten with AC
or you can spend $50,$100 or more if you wish
food, lunch for $1 but usually 3 or 4 dinner 5 to 10
but you can also pay 15 or 20 for lunch or 75 for dinner
in general even if you pay too much, its still cheap
you can barter for anything,and are expected to
not as much in higher end stores/restaurant/hotel
but always ask
talk to as many people as possible, locals and fellow travellers
be aware though. dont let your guard down for a moment
you want to meet people and see things/be adventurous but there are people everywhere that are there to scam you
travellers and locals
Im jealous and wish I were going
TRAVELLERS CHECKS
good to buddy up with someone or a small group for a few days of travel
but again you can never let your guard down totally
make sure that even if the worst thing happens, you still have your passport and $100
and or your credit card
just be smart but dont worry too much
have fun. see crazy and wonderful things, the main attractions are popular for a reason but the best things are around the corner and down a narrow back alley
i would suggest as a general rule, stay clear of any drugs or illegal activity
