I went with a few close friends on a trip. It was perfect for us, and I can honestly say it would be perfect for your experienced tourists... or unexperienced. So you should visit Thailand too! :p Just want to say that Thailand is incredible to say the least, I loved each minute of it. I went with a few close friends on a trip.

I don't know her - I have no idea, what accommodation she prefers, how much food she eats (and where, at the road side or in fancy restaurants), if she likes to shop, party, drive a car, bike or prefers a driver or walks, spends her day at the beach or whatever. That's why I created the above chart, to give a tool for other travelers to calculate their own expenses. Just look up the appropriate columns, add maybe a good 30% to include inflation and for safety reasons and you have a rule-of-thumb idea. More is really not possible from far away...am sorry! ;-) Laura, I wish I could help you with planning the trip for your sister, but that will be rather difficult.

That's the most I would get out of it, but everyone is different. Renting rooms weekly/monthly (cheaper rates) instead of daily would reduce your housing costs, eating at local stalls/warungs instead of tourist restaurants would reduce your meal costs. Using public transport/buses/jeepneys/tuk-tuk/multicabs instead of renting a bike, car or anything else (not that it would be possible with that low budget) is obligatory. Have a great trip! ;-) Chantel, I would believe, if you live very thrifty and resourceful, you can make it maybe through 3-4 months with this amount of money.

I'm looking to fly into Southeast Asia in September and live for as long as possible in Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines and then move down to Australia and work a bit before flying back to Canada. Could anyone make an estimate of how long a very thrifty beach/cliff/island seeker could live in Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines with $2000 CAD (inc everything besdies airfare)? Also, does anyone know of any resources to look up/read about Southeast Asia/Australia trips? Thanks so much eh!! Hey,
