Traveling in Asia doesn’t have to be expensive. Here are my top tips for budget travel, from finding cheap accommodations to enjoying local street food

✈️ Flights & Accommodation
Book Early: Secure flights 3–6 months ahead for discounts (use Skyscanner/Google Flights for price alerts).
Budget Stays: Use trip.com, Agoda, Booking.com, or Hostelworld for deals on hostels, guesthouses, or capsule hotels.
🎟️ Activities & Transport
Pre-Book Attractions: Save 10–30% on tickets via trip.com/Klook/KKday (e.g., Japan Rail Pass, Singapore Zoo).
Public Transport: Use metros/buses (cheaper than taxis); try apps like Grab (SE Asia) or Japan’s Suica card.
🍜 Food & Daily Hacks
Eat Local: Street food stalls ($1–3 meals) > fancy restaurants (e.g., Thai pad thai, Vietnamese banh mi).
Refill Water: Carry a reusable bottle—many airports/temples have free refill stations.
🗺️ Smart Sightseeing
Join Group Tours: For remote spots (e.g., Bana Hills in Vietnam, Bali waterfalls) to split costs.
Free Activities: Explore temples (e.g., Bangkok’s Wat Arun), parks, or night markets.
💰 Money-Saving Extras
Travel Off-Peak: Avoid holidays; shoulder seasons (April–June/Sept–Nov) offer lower prices.
Bargain Politely: Markets in Thailand, Indonesia, or India often accept 20–30% lower prices.

Bonus: Use no-foreign-fee cards (e.g., Wise/Revolut) and buy local SIMs (cheaper data than roaming).

By combining these hacks, you’ll stretch your budget while diving deep into Asia’s cultures! 🌏✨
