Making a top tips for SOUTH EAST ASIA video for all your unanswered questions - Comming soon! DM me any questions @joelfriendy
1. I got a SIM card in each country I went to
2. Depends quickest probably plane, but bus or trains depending where you are
3. I never had anything stolen in hostels and I had a lot of expensive camera gear, just be cautious lock valuables in lockers and your other stuff like clothes won’t be touched don’t worry!
Amazing trip, for sure you had a good time🎉🎉
Feel free to watch me new video about travelling to southeas asia and my exchange semester abroad in south korea. Enjoy😊🤙🏼
Malaysia is an absolutely class country which is often over looked by many backpackers (probably because it doesn't have the drinking culture which some asian countries have) but you can still find a good party, its ridiculously cheap, its stunning and there's so much to see and do! KL is brilliant and East malaysia (Borneo etc) is also brilliant.
Yess, I visited Kuala Lumpur, unfortunately I didn‘t have the time to visit more of malaysia. But for sure ai will do it the next time. Feel free to watch me recent video about travelling southeast asia. Enjoy🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@dealdiscovery Will look out for it now. Cheers man!
Sometimes it is better to be under rated than over rated. Tourism comes at a cost to nature especially the pristine islands.
Disagree on 'riduculously cheap' but still cheap nontheless to western standard
@@andrewj3177 maybe not ridiculously, slight exaggeration but still very cheap vs UK prices! 6 Ringgit for a bowl of Nasi Goreng and a bottle of water in a cafe. You cannot eat out anywhere in the UK for £1 with a drink.
I loved your narration. You have a very calm voice and you explained everything quite well.
Thank you, Joel! I love this video! Really helpful!
During my first solo trip to this part of the world starting next week. Your videos ars such a big help! Thanks for all the tips
another great video Joel, many thanks!
Great video! Thank you for these helpful tips!
So much info in a single video. Love the cinematography btw 👍
Another really useful video Joel please keep them coming!
Aw thank you! Glad it’s helped!
Great advice mate, thanks for the tips!
Great tips Joel mate.
Being from the UK myself, SE Asia is my favourite region for travel. I have been to Malaysia 5 times, Thailand 4 times, Singapore 3 times, Philippines and Indonesia twice each. I am hoping to go to Indonesia again, Malaysia and Thailand one more time, and Vietnam for the very first time. SE Asia has everything to offer with amazing megacities, mountains, waterfalls, stunning tropical beaches, various cultures and religious sites, incredible jungles and fauna, and amazing food. My top 3 favourite cities visited are KL, Bangkok and Singapore, and Jakarta is high on the list too
Bro, I like your simple delivery. Subscribed.
I live in Asia, it's great to hear how the foreigners think of travelling to Asia, how they make the best use of the surviving skill to mingle around the areas.
Great video Joel! Lots of great information. Planning a trip out there soon
Super helpful! I’m headed to Thailand in 6 months!
Love the videos hoping they’ll come in use for me very soon 🙏
I hope so too man! Get out there and get travelling once Covid ends!!
Thanks for the awesome video Joel :D currently planning a trip to SouthEast Asia and this video really helped! You seem like an awesome traveler, hopefully, we bump paths somewhere
Hey man, loved the video. Good info and it feels like i am sitting with a friend giving me the run down on how and what to do. Thanks man.
Ayy thanks so much, any questions or anything your always welcome to shoot me a message on Instagram!
Another great video Bro 📹
what a great video! another tip - I also land up saving up on unnecessary expenses like atm fees etc in south east asia - using apps like ATM Fee Saver - it helps find atms abroad with no fees or lower fees than others along with withdrawal limits etc. worth adding to your list of tricks!
Nice information here hopefully I can do this soon!! Great video!!
Aww thank you! Yeah! Let’s hope so!!
Great video!
Loving the videos keep it up man
Thanks a lot Ben! Appreciate it!
I'm thinking of flying into Hanoi around November with a folding bike and cycling around into Laos and Thailand for around 3 months or so. Planning on bringing some light camping gear to have the option to camp when I want to save a few bucks and have a little adventure in the countryside.
Thank you for sharing this clip 👍 appreciate it
No worries!!
Great video
Helpful video, thanks! I am solo travelling to Bangkok one way in April and planning to go around SEA for 6 months :) Before ending with a month in Japan - nervous but can't wait, watching everything I can in anticipation
How was the trip?
I am thinking about doing that route, thank you for your video!
It’s a great video, I definitely recommend!
So helpful!! Would love to know more about visas and what you packed 😊
Brilliant video super informative ☺️
Aww thank you very much, glad it was helpful! 😊
good stuff champ!
So happy i found this video!! Ive been researching Southeast Asia for nearly two years now and this is by far one of the most informative yet easy to understand videos I’ve seen! Me and my friends are hoping to travel 2023 so fingers crossed everything’s back to normal then ahah :)))
Aww thank you so much, so glad it helped you two out! So excited for your travels! It should be good by then! Good luck on your travels let me know if you have any questions! 😊

aww thank you so much this is such a lovely comment 🙂
I really enjoyed your video. 👍🏼
Great channel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Greetings from Albania. 👋🏼🇦🇱
Aw thanks a lot! Would love to visit Albania!!
tq for mention PENANG..I penang boy
I think your street food advice is fair - it’s safer it eat there than European street food - also pick busy stalls. May I ask your 3 highlights of your trip?
nice one
Tech video, please! How many batteries, GoPro, portable hard drives, did you take your laptop to edit videos, etc
How easy was it for you to do your washing?
Sure I’ll do a tech video soon!
In terms of washing I normally did it every 7-10 days either taking it to a dry cleaners or hand washing it myself
Thanks Friend, this is the first video that I’ve watch that helped me understand “the-banana-pancake-route”. Explain why it’s called that please.
Time to travel to the amazing Cambodia
I think Philippines,is not cheap.But beautiful places and warmest people I've ever heard.
It can definitely be cheap if you want to stick to a budget obviously you may miss out on some luxuries! It is a beautiful country and the people are amazing!!
Yes, you are a friend. Please tell me what and where is your next plan.
I dunno what my next plan is just waiting for countries to open up so I can travel freely again
nice video
Thank you very much!
Hopefully we can travel soon
I really do hope so!
Beauty ful place 🌹🌹🌹
Heya just wondering if its best to have a full itinerary before going on the trip or if having a rough idea for the first couple weeks is enough to leave space for new plans
Great video wish covid would end now so I could just go!!!
Literally me! Haha
Hi! I was wondering if instead of getting individual sim cards for each country in SE Asia, is there a Uk phone network you recommend that will allow for data usage and emergency calls (in country) instead?
loved the video. if you had to stick to 2 countries, what countries would you choose? I only have a couple weeks sadly :(
How much would you say you spent in totally from the start of you're trip to the end? To get an idea of how much one would need to save lump sum
Thanks for this! Well done video. I’m am thinking of flying into Hanoi then travelling down the country, to Cambodia, to Bangkok area then that islands(or Thai islands first then Bangkok? Then up to northern Thailand. Does this sound ok? It’s a lot cheaper to fly to Hanoi then Bangkok from my airport which is why we thought we would do that
The remedy for Food Poisoning is take Norit, activated-carbon tablets. You can find it everywhere in Indonesia and.......in The Netherlands!
It'll actually only take effect if the food is still in the stomach. Because it's indigestible. For example, if you take one intending to cure a hangover it won't do anything as the alcohol has already been absorbed a long time ago. But I guess it can be really helpful if you start feeling unwell in the next hour or two after you eat.
i guess you can find anything in Southasia. Big modern cities. volcanoes, tropical forest, amazing tropical beaches, experience of street food etc
Thanks for this video! Do those budgets cover everything (accommodation, activities, transport and food) or just food only?
Hiya, what time of year did you travel? I’m planning on doing this route (banana pancake) starting in November - would you recommend this as a good time? Thank you!
Hey @Joel! May i please ask the daily spending you mentioned is with the accomodation exluded?
I’m planning to go travelling for 3 months. What are the best months to travel to weather wise?
How about visa? Can you get them at the border or do you need to arrange them prior to enter in the next country?
Interesting video! South east Asia is on my bucket list for bike touring.
I'm doing this next year and I'm so excited but nervous. I wanna travel the world for a year but the only thing that scares me is money because I don't have a passive income. I am working on it but I can't wait!!
Literally meeee I wanna plan mine for the start of January after I finish my degree. GOODLUCK!! :)
@@shamarbarker6476 lol yeah maybe we will meet along the way lml good luck to you too 👏🏾🙏🏾
I'm an indonesian and I want to travel around SE Asia especially Thailand, Singapore, and Philippines
What time of year would just say is best to do the banana pancake route
November to March is peak season as it’s dry season so no rain but the others months are obviously less busy and slightly cheaper however it may rain more
wurd thanks bro ill be comeing from USA so im going to hit japan, (south korea maybe ), and head south, the islands ,india, etc to europe i dont have irt mapped completely but i plan to spend 1 to 3 years traveling. just wanted to say whats up and feel free to send me any advice im gonna binge watch and thanks again
this was great info! did your daily budget breakdown include sleeping/housing accommodations ??
Yes, the daily budgets include accommodation (staying in hostels which tend to be fairly cheap)
Nice video, do you have suggestions for airlines from US?
Asia is very nice 👌👌👌👌
I’ve already done Thailand. Do you have any tips for route of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos? I will be flying from uk
Ill fly to the Philippines and from there to Sulawesi, Bali, Java and Sumatra
That’s awesome I really want to do Sumatra and Sulawesi!!
Good advice, but... 3 months in indonesia? With what visa? Where are you from to benefit from such a waiver?
When I travel to Thailand I usually rent I place for an entire month. If I want to go from city to city should I book All the accommodations before leaving home or book the first place and wing it from there?
Dude you’re so funny 😂
AhHa ohh really? 😆
How much planning do you do for your trips/ how many days in advance do you book accommodation?
It varies normally book at least first night when I arrive somewhere but normally only a day or 2 in advance and sometimes the same day I like to be flexible in my travels and not be tied down to any plans
@@Joelfriend can you do this rn during covid? I’m applying for a Thai visa and they ask for accommodation for pretty much the whole trip. And also to go from country to country do you have to apply for visa for each country?
What’s ur opinion on packages? (I’ve forgot what they’re called 😂) so it’s already planned all for u. I don’t want to do one but my parents and a family member from Thailand think I should
how much time does it take to complete banana pancake trail ? 30 day is cool ?
take it easy, no need to brag you can drink up to 20 beers hahah, great video, informative
Wiuld be gad if someone could answer this question: Banana pancake trail plus indonesia, and skipping south thailand... 3 months enough?
Did you buy the tickets for the transportation online or in person?
Great video btw 👌
Always bought them in person, buying them online is a lot more expensive in person is a lot cheaper and you can haggle the prices down. The transport generally won’t run out of spaces so don’t worry about that 😊
Hi there,
what is the situation with the mopeds? Do you need a "bike" license, or your average car license is enough, and can you drive something over 50 cc with it?
And how doe the Vietnam coups with driving licenses - I've heard you need some special permission, or it might be only for car.
Thanks in advance.
In my and other traveler's experience (mostly from Thailand) they really don't care about whether you have a driver's license at all.
@@NUTELLAMANNEN Not sure if that's true if they wanted to fine you they could and also any insurance could be denied. I'm getting an international drivers license as well as my NZ one, it's cheap to get and it will be valid. Better to not risk it imo.
Can you do the route backwards starting in bangkok?
Its a good itinerary. The challenge is that you will be surrounded by fellow tourists 24/7 and will likely get tired of been 'sold too all the time'. Sumatra, Borneo, Suluwesi are good places to go with lots of infrastructure, good prices and you won't feel that your just copying a million and one other people.
The flights are too expensive sadly. From Germany it is not worth it for me
Do you book accomodation in advance? Or just wing it?
Me and a couple friends are planning on going in January 2022 for 3 months. We are hoping that covid won’t restrict us getting there🤞🏽
That’s awesome!! Where are you planning on going to? What countries?
@@Joelfriend we wanna go to Thailand for 1 month, the Phillipines for a month and then do Cambodia and Vietnam for a month! We’ve been planning it for over a year ahah
@@jacobminchin9944 do you have to apply for visa for each country?
Hi, just wondered if your trip is still going ahead for Jan?
@@user-oe2ng3kk5b hi there, we have a flight booked to Thailand for the 13th of February so hopefully it will all go smoothly!
Great video lad, planning on doing this when covid is over, what was your overall cost of your trip (including Philippines etc).
How much does 1 YEAR OF TRAVEL COST? (it's less than you think) this video should explain it all 😌
What did you use for money? Would you recommend a travel card/ did you need lots of cash on you etc?
Yes I used travel cards which have best exchange rates and minimal atm withdrawal fees, I recommend monzo and revolut
I'm thinking about doing this soon. How do u think it will go now that there's so much crap happening in the world?
When's the best time to visit?
I tried to purchase travel insurance through the link in bio but it says I’m not eligible? I’m from the US, is that probably why?
You advise people to get a Moped, you probably should put Mor emphasis on the safety and travel insurance part of this
Hi Joel, fantastic video! I'm curious which time of year is best to travel to SE Asia, I finish school in April but I see monsoon (wet) season is present in most countries from June-Sep, did you experience monsoon season? Do you recommend travelling in dry season instead?
I'm in the same boat, do you think you will still go? I was planning on just going for it. May-August, I know someone there just now and they said it is still great.
@@mattreid9209 ohh hi! I’m here right now! Just came from Thailand and it’s quite hot but still super nice! Only rains for a few hours then stops but depends on the day. Now in Indonesia and hardly any rain.
What summer jobs w accommodations can you do as an 18 yr old
Is the daily budget including accomadtions?
How much would you say you brought in total for 6 months?
how much did you spend overall?
If you don't have a licence for a moped what would you advise??
How did you get permission to stay in Indonesia for 3 months? Isn't it 30 days max. (another 30 with a visa extension)
Lovely 💕
❤️&✌️
Thank you 🙏🏼
how do you get a moped lisence for thailand?
You don’t actually need a moped licence just a international driving license but to be honest most places you rent won’t even check that
How much did you spend in total for 6 months? I'm planning to backpack for a year and need to know how much I should budget. Thanks
1000 USD for a month, depending on you're lifestyle ofc :D
i want to go backpacking for 80 years or until I die. Which ever comes first LOL
