Travelling to South East Asian with $3000. Can it be done?
Next month Ill be travelling to Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia n Thailand.. Spending 2 weeks in each country
Ive got $3000 as spending money Ill use for accomodation, tours, food etc etc... Do you think itll be enough?
BAH! I meant South East Asia..
When traveling in South East Asia any amount of money could be in excess or dangerously small . I'll make myself more clear:
if you have a good travel insurance, which covers all kind of accidents ( the ones occurred while driving a rented vehicle or motorbike, for instance, or practicing "dangerous sports" or trekking) , which pays the medical expenses ON THE SPOT and covers an eventual bail bond and med-evac, 3000 bucks are more than enough, provided they are in traveler cheques, which are fully refundable if lost or stolen.
Pickpocketing, theft and burglary are still common in the region.
A 4-days motorbike crash treatment in a decent Thai hospital can cost you as much as 4,000 dollars, and med-evac ( depends by where is your home country) starts from 10,000 bucks.
That's why you need an insurance. A good one, fully comprehensive, costs around 150 USD per month of traveling. Best bet is to get an Insurance in Thailand, valid for all the ASEAN countries. Or use Bupa Insurance :have a look to their websites : http://www.bupa.com/countryindicator
Have a good trip !
