What would you say is a good budget for traveling for 3 months through Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, backpacker style (simple, budget accommodation)?
(won or USD please!) |

$3000 -$5000 USD.
You may be able to squeak by on a bit less than $1000 per month but you won't be doing much or seeing much other than the inside of a cheap rooming house or a bus.
$30 per day doesn't go very far, even if you do go like a local for most things.

| I've done very well on around $1,000 a month, but if you're not splitting on rooms you're going to be roughing it. I recommend finding a travel buddy. |

If you are on a tight budget be sure to avoid the local girls  |

| i did 5 months on �2.5k. half of that was rooming with the gf though, so i definitely second the other bloke who said find a travel partner to share rooms. a roof over your head, along with eating/drinking, is going to be the main cost overall |
