The Philippines

This country is located in the Pacific, so it’s one of the nearest countries from America. So, it’s a good first stopover. There are a lot of good beaches in the Philippines.

When going from one place to another, ride the local transportation– jeepney, bus, or motorcycle.

Vietnam

From the Philippines, you can proceed to Vietnam. Now, this place may be familiar to you as it has been used as the setting for many war movies. Like other countries in Southeast Asia, Vietnam’s food, accommodation, and transportation are cheap. You can choose to stay in Mekong Delta and be in touch with nature. There are a lot of things you and your friends can do. You can enjoy a boat ride around the place, cruise the Cai Rang Floating Market, and visit the Vinh Trang Temple.

Thailand

You can travel by air from Vietnam to Thailand. However, if you want to save and visit other places along the way, you can choose to travel by land. Bangkok is considered to be Asia’s backpacking capital. All weary travellers across the Southeast Asian peninsula can easily find their way to this city. It’s true that Bangkok is highly commercialized now. However, it still has lots of places worth visiting like the Wat Arun temple.

Malaysia

Spending a night or two at Kuala Lumpur does not cost much. Use the KLIA Express to go to popular travel destinations like the Batu Caves. When booking a hotel, it’s advisable that you choose one near the Chinatown, where you can buy the cheapest food and souvenirs. From the Chinatown, you can walk to the Kuala Lumpur Tower and Petronas Towers. Both buildings are a marvel!
