How much would this trip cost?

I'm planning a trip to Asia for a couple months with some friends around December. We're looking into going to Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Mongolia, and China.

Can you give a rough estimate of how much it might cost for a couple of months on hostels, food, scenery, transportation around Asia, and clubs.

Do you know anything about Asian transportation system? Is it convenient?

I travel a fair bit. I often travel as a backpacker: staying in youth hostels and the like where I can save money, but I'll still splurge from time to time and I always make sure I eat well and enjoy the good local food.

Anyway, I end up averaging around about USD40 a day over most of Asia when travelling solo. In less expensive contries, I tend to spend more on accommodation because you can get a lot for not much money. You can certainly do it for less: if you only stayed in hostels and cheap accommodation, and you didn't go to fancy places too much, and you took public transport where possible, and you don't see too many sites with expensive entrance fees in one day, you could travel for less than half that. Travelling with friends also makes things cheaper because you start sharing transport and accommodation costs.

Where should I go in Vietnam and Laos?

I am going travelling in April for 3 months. I know where I am going in Thailand as have been before and know where I want to go. But I have not been to Vietnam or Laos and unsure of where I should go. I have got guidebooks but I always find other peoples experiences much better to go on.

So I am after where is good to go, what trips I should be doing etc.
Thanks

Laos : Make sure you go tubing that is the best thing about Laos. Cant remember where you go to do it but when you are there ask it's unmissable. I do know that we got a slow boat from northern Thailand across into Laos about a 5 minute journey where you get your visa and then sail down the Mekong river through Laos , It was quite uncomfortable and took 2 day's but it was well worth it, it's a great way of seeing the country. I went to Thailand first then Laos and from there into Northern Vietnam (Hanoi). We travelled from there down South visiting all the places along the coast on the way. We travelled mostly on overnight buses which are quite hard to sleep on and a little bumpy but is was the cheapest was of travelling. You will need to have your visa sorted before you get to Vietnam they take a bit of time to get. Then the further south in Vietnam you go the nearer to Cambodia you get. I have to say out of all the places I have travelled in Asia I loved Vietnam the most, Na Trang was my favourite place there it's right on the coast Its just a lovely holiday town with nice hotels and pubs. Enjoy :)
