Thailand is known as one of the most budget-friendly destinations in Asia. Maybe that is why it attracts millions of travelers each year. The country’s islands and famous beach spots have become a bit more expensive over the years due to the demand, however, the inland is still very affordable and has a lot to offer for any adventure, nature, and food lover. Explore the rice fields, discover beautiful Buddhist temples or simply enjoy the rich street food.

 

Bosnia and Herzegovina

While most European countries are nowhere close to the cheap prices of Asian countries, there are still a few budget-friendly options left. One of which is Bosnia. This Balkan country is a definition of an underrated destination. Visit the medieval town of Mostar and its iconic bridge and the capital city of Sarajevo or spend time hiking in the wild outdoors of the country. With a distinct Turkish and Persian influence, Bosnia can easily trick you into thinking that you stepped out of Europe.

 

Vietnam

Another cheap destination of Southeast Asia that offers an incredible street food scene and insanely cheap living prices. The best way to discover Vietnam is to rent a motorbike and make your way around the country. However, if renting or driving a motorbike sounds a bit too adventurous for you, you can always use public transport which is just as cheap. The accommodation options start from just a few dollars, and you can easily spend no less than $3 per day for all your meals.

 

Indonesia

Indonesia is probably the most diverse country out of all Southeast Asia regions and it is still one of the cheapest.
