Laos

Even though housing was slightly more expensive than most places in Southeast Asia at the time, Laos was one of the two sites where you were able to keep your budget at $30/day. Many of the incredible activities available in Laos are inexpensive.

You need to pay only $2.50 to see one of the world's most spectacular waterfalls, $7 for a full day of tubing on the Vang Vieng river, and $6 for a fantastic tiger balm massage. You can even rent a motorcycle for a low price and travel to smaller towns where everything is even cheaper! With an increasing number of new hostels being developed to appeal to the growing number of travellers, you may go for less and stay longer. If you have a little extra money to spend, you can obtain a beautiful room for around $35 that would easily cost $100 in the United States.
