How to Travel Southeast Asia on $500 / Month

- How do you travel Southeast Asia on $500 a month? I tell you how to travel in Asia on a budget. I spent 4 months in Thailand, Myanmar, Indonesia, Philippines, and Vietnam, and I learned a few things about traveling cheaply. If you want to travel around Southeast Asia for longer, spend less money, and have more fun, then watch this video. $500 a month will get you by. At $1000 a month, you can live like a king if you do it right. Southeast Asia is cheap, but you can spend a lot if you don't budget right.

leonardo decaprio thank you
Destination Asia thinking the exact same thing, he even has the same voice!
😂😂😂
Hahahahaha
hilarious
funny!
We did 3 months on $2500 and lived very well. Cambodia was the highlight of cheapness, we find a hostel for $2 USD per night, private room, plus meals from around 50c.
I agree, I loved Cambodia!
traveltheworldhack do you book in advance online or just show up and hope for a room?
From where did you book
@@DoggoStudio Alot of the vloggers I've watched book 1 or 2 nights and then look for a longer term room once they arrive.
Was that 2500 for the both of you?
Adding to the Travel Hacks and Tips playlist this week!
This is great value man! Thank you for making this 🙏
This is awesome! I find that traveling on a budget always leads to more authentic, unexpected adventures off the beaten path that are very special. Thanks for the tips!
your tips are exactly what we experienced through the world. it is great that you took the time to tell and share them. have a great day, where ever you are.
Thanks for this video. Very useful!
Thanks for this amazing video, man! I've been in Asia for 3 years and had no idea Agoda is the place to book hotels.

I will do this summer !😊😊
I love SEA. It is truly heaven for a budget traveller. I am retiring in six months and can’t wait to hit the road. Thanks for this. I just found your channel and subscribed. Such a good source of info. Street food is the bomb. It’s mostly what I eat. And I will be checking out Agoda. Peace and love and happy travels. ☮️🇨🇦
Thank you for this info ✨ you are very helpful
Took me awhile to get past your beauty,

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching, glad to help
This really helped me clarify my thoughts for my upcoming trip. Thank you for the great advice!
No problem! Glad to help
your voice & the background music was so calming, loved listening to this. really appreciated how many examples of prices you shared, so many youtubers are very vague about paying for travel. will be happily subbing💓
Thanks so much! Thanks for the comment, and for following my adventures
Thank you for the tips! Will be traveling to SE asia from march to april and your tips are very much helpful!
Awesome! Always glad to help
Great tips! Thanks for the upload Alexander!
No problem, and thanks for watching
Sick video! Thanks for the tips, it will be very useful when I travel over there :)
Some great tips Alex. Adding an example month from past experiences and prices would have been very good in this video as well.
Thanks for this video man, I'm planning my trip for mid May, this ideas are really useful, trying to wrap my head around all the choices and decisions I have to make in January haha! Subscribed. Cheers.
Thanks for the kind words and for watching. Good luck with your trip! It'll be amazing

Thanks for watching! Good luck ✊🏻
Thanks for the tips Alexander! You're spot on
Thanks for watching, and commenting!
Good video, that's why I love traveling Southeast Asia, very affordable and wonderful country!
Thanks so much - great tips!
Heyy I found your channel by looking through travel vlogger videos. You have awesome tips!! Thanks for all the info.
+Keika Medina awesome thank you for watching my videos and joining me
Great video mate, keep it up, just subbed!
Awesome, thanks!
Can't wait to do this!
thank you so much for the info :)
Very informative. Thanks for this now gonna buy tickets.
Good info! I've done a lot of traveling in Asia and some parts of it actually has Uber now. Which is great and very cheap compared to taxi's. Especially taking one from the airport to your hotel or wherever you are staying. Plus, they can't change the price on you. Just a tip for people you will be traveling to Asia or anywhere for that matter. Check if they have it available first.
perfect video! Thanks a lot!
Awesome vid man! Some great tips here! Keep the content coming! :)
Thanks mate!
Great great video bro priceless advice thanks so much!!!
No problem! Glad if I can help at all
Going for the first time at the start of 2019! Planning to be there for up to half a year so gotta study up. Subscribed!
Thanks man! Good luck 👍🏼
Such a huge help dude! Recommending Agoda alone just made things so much easier! 🙏🏼
Glad to help
Amazing video! Loved the way you talk. Thanks!!!
Haha thank you
really good overview.made everything very clear. Thumbs up and subbed !
Wow this was so helpful! You just got a new sub :)
Awesome’ thanks for subbing and watching!
Thanks for the information x
Love this! :) Some great advice. Thanks so much for sharing..
Thanks for watching!
My absolute pleasure! I just started travel vlogging myself. Would love a little feedback if you have the time. Keep up the adventuring and inspiring us all!
Love it! Now I just need $500 😅
same
hilarious!
Wow. You are broke if you dont have 500 usd to your name. One quick advice is to go find a job or something and dont be lazy.
Easy, work
@edicius. exactly
I'll be off to SEA in tow months and my budget just got a whole lot tighter because of some unforeseen expenses. This video was just what I needed right now. Thanks a lot!
Awesome, I'm glad to help!
heya im planning to go to SEA this year and wondering what was your budget and if it is really possible to live okay with £500-600 or is more needed? i will be very budgety
Loved your video dude! so true about getting off a bus or a boat and they hound you but if you walk....just walk half a k or so....so much better price. besides...its better to walk after a long bus trip rather than hop off the bus and just jump into a tuk tuk or a cab. I found Penang was really bad for hounding you, they were so bad we actually couldn't even get off the bus....but anyway...a really good video...well done :)
Asean Nomad thanks man! Yeah it's true, ha sometimes you can't even get off the bus because there are so many of them
yeah I know...just have to be strong and keep walking!
This was so helpful! Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching! Glad I could be helpful
Thanks for this 👌✨
Beer for $.50 and street food for $1? Sold. Great video, as usual. Thanks!
Normal
7 years ago i visited cambodia and street foods were about 50cents. but if u visit on downtown it doesnt cost less than america lol.... (especially the place where for trevales)
Tammy Petry that’s the exception. Please don’t expect to live off 500 monthly, realistically😂
22 and been putting this off for 5 years.... saving everything for the next 6 months and finally gonna do it!!!!
Hell yeah, I’m glad to hear it. Good luck ✊🏻
Alexander Travelbum update: corona virus has me laid off 😢
This is an insanely valuable video ty body ;)
Many thanks for saying about Agoda(cant belive how cheap it is :0..) and other tips!!! Going Asia in May ...cant wait !!
You’re welcome!
These are really great tips dude. Subscribed and hope to see more videos from you soon!
Thanks mate! Glad to help. Hitting the road real soon
Really good tips! And a well-made video! :D
Katrin Williamson thanks! Hope I helped
You are the best ! thanks for all the advice ! From france ;)
Brother you have given me an idea about my future trip to Thailand...
Thank you bro...😘😘😘
You’re welcome good luck!
Nice summary! thx for sharing your experience! come to Costa Rica!
Great video! Making me want to go to Asia for my next trip :)
Spencer Stanley definitely do it!
Alexander Travelbum potentially will this summer!
Wow, I'd like to leave right now. I wish a travel southeast Asia and i think that your advice will be very useful! Thank you for sharing with us your experience!
Hope it will help! Good luck and thanks
@@AlexanderTravelbum Thank you!
Thanks for your tips dude! Great vid, I mean you could almost assume all these things, but it's still great to hear it from an expert haha. :-) Leaving in 4 days! Excited for the upcoming months, I might check out your profile a lil more!
Awesome! Hopefully anything in the video could help with some decisions
Absolutely! But I'm gonna check out more when I'm on the road. Kinda enjoying the last days home differently, but I'm pretty sure your content holds so much more great things, as I already saw a bit. Where are you at right now? Still traveling in Europe, right?
It all holds some great stuff! Haha. I think almost each video shows something very interesting I found in a place. Right now in France, have about 20 videos to upload soon all throughout
Nice video! Thank you, going on a filmmaking adventure Solo in SE Asia in a few months and this will for sure come in handy
Oh awesome. Thanks for watching. I’d like to see your Adventure also. Always interested in solo travelers documenting their journey!
hey great video! Nice impressions ;)
+mr.greshoo thanks very much
Pretty cool to get some insight on how the budget could look like. I was originally planning to backpack New Zealand this February, but it felt more tempting to visit Indonesia as I started to look more into it. NZ is also more similar to my country (Norway), and I'd rather see something completely different when I go backpacking. Your video made it clear that South-Asia is where I want to explore. If 500 - 1000 USD a month is the standard monthly budget, I can almost travel a year with the same budget I had planned for two months in New Zealand!
Thank you mate, you earned a sub. :)
swdoffa thanks for the sub and for watching. Yes, Southeast Asia will be a TON cheaper than NZ. If you're on a budget and have the time to travel longer. I'd say try SÈ Asia first. You can do much much more with your dollar
Hit me up if you end up travelling around Java island!
@@AlexanderTravelbum from what I've red on the internet some places are $3 / night. And they also have hotels for $200. My thought was who the hell stays thier.. foren government personnel?? $200 in that part of the world.. ya avoid. And can you find a random place for less then $10 by just showing up?
@swdoffa hey man, I am in exactly the same boat as you were in. I was set on travelling in NZ as a working holiday for a few months from Jan next year before I go to europe but i feel like it is very similiar to my own home country which is australia. Im now thinking more and more going to SE asia. I am just wondering did you enjoy your travels their? I am 18 and just finished high school so that is a factor.
Thank you! Very informative :-)
Thanks for watching!
These have been the best tips I have ever received! Subscribed and will be checking out move videos. Also, Agoda is the bomb. I can vouch for it. And be sure to book closer to when you arrive. I had to cancel a trip and my funds were non-refundable. However, not butt hurt over it because I made my employer pay for it since they cancelled my trip. Have never gotten sick from the street food and it is tasty and cheap.
moi thanks for watching! Yes, all true. Missing the street food now
I’m literally gonna be in SEA in March so this is perrrffff thank you so much!!
enjoy! Have some videos on tours in Asia if you would like to check
This was really helpful even though I don’t think I will travel in the next few months this will really help a in 2-3 years when I start traveling more often and for a student traveler this video has a lot of good insights for future travelers
Really simple but good video! information is quality and you are very genuine keep it up! you got my Sub also :D
Thank you! Thanks for the subb and I'm glad I could help
thanks dude, really helped
Dakota Jackson awesome I'm glad
got yourself a new subscriber
It's your life, take it traveling! Hell yeah ✌
Thanks for the Agoda tip! I just checked hotel I wanted to get through booking.com and it is almost half the price through Agoda! So THANKS a lot for this tip. Really the best tip of your video. I will for sure use your referal link!
Really great advice. I’m going this way by myself for the first time in a few months.
Have a great time!
I’m leaving in Southeast Asia next month and some of your tips helped me then thank you 😊
Les aventures d'Amandine good, I'm glad to help! Let me know if you have any other questions
i just did a video like this a week or so ago. love yours! do you think you could travel cheaper? we seem to notice are monthly spendings around 400$ but we are also traveling as a couple
+Divert Living cheaper is definitely an option. I try to find a happy medium but closer to the budgetty side
Wow very good video! You got yourself a new subscriber!
+Les Aventures de Mélanie awesome! Thanks for joining!
Great vid, and great channel. Thanks
Thanks for watching my videos!
You´re right mate, Agoda´s a life saver if you´re travelling in Asia!
Thank for the advice. I'm planning to travel across southeast asia in the future after coming back from cambodia.
you could take plane's in the Philippine's if you want to, but there are a ton of ferry ride's the locals take to hop between islands. It's usually cheaper and more fun. One more thing, a smile in SouthEast Asia is probably one of the best things you could give to a local.
Thank you so much will be off at 57 years old in Jan 2019 for 2 years to India s e India and s America ... can't wait for the freedommmmm
Awesome! That’s going to be an amazing journey. Glad to hear it
I’m 54 and am setting off in the new year to north and South America, good luck 😉
so cool!
How was it?
great tips..!!
Thanks a lot! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 im a filipino but i got a helpful tips from you 😂😂
Awesome! Glad they could help in any part of the world ha
Great advice!!
Glad to help!
Amazing video, thank you :))
Really Informative
Glad to help
THX for this Tipps :) see you around the world
I’m bingeing your videos and it’s inspiring me to plan a trip to thailand next year !! Do you have a video on hostels ??
Awesome! I didn’t really provide names of my hostels and hotels. I should have kept track. Is that what you mean? For names of hostels or like a how-to about hostels?
sorry ! i was looking for a how to !
such an informative video.
Great video. Appreciate the insights. Most websites I visited suggested it would be around 1050/mo minimum. 1500/mo to do it more comfortably. 500/mo sounds really low, but possible
subs! goodluck for more travels dude! ;)
+kikiw T thanks for joining me!
great tips!
ww3k great 👍🏼
I can't wait to go backpacking!!! I sort of did this this year when I went to Hawaii. I left with 1500 bucks, nowhere to stay when I arrived, and no job. But someone messaged me about a hostel right down the street from where I was! So that's where I stayed the 2 months I was there.
thank you so much!
