1. Estimate your budget
Your budget for traveling in Asia is the core factor to determine which type of hotel you should select. Guesthouse or budget inn will be the gem for backpackers who just need the basic accommodation facilities, i.e. bed and bathroom. These budget accommodations usually will cost you less than USD 20 per night.

Tips to avoid currency exchange scams

2. Avoid money changer at the Airport

As you all know, South-east Asia is a menagerie of exotic locations, people, food and animals. What most people fail to realise, is that it is also home to a wide range of exotic diseases which are abundant due to the tropical climate (this is also true for all tropical states and countries).
Now, before everyone jumps and screams and avoids asia like the plague, let me explain. I’m merely trying to caution visitors to South-east Asia, not scare them away. So take pre-cautions by having immunitions for diseases like malaria, dengue, yellow fever, etc.
In general, most South-east Asian countries are clean and do not hold life-threatening disease as reported in some publications. Or at least, living here, I have not personally encountered or heard of many cases of such diseases. However, if you’re venturing into the deepest jungles or outskirts of any country or state, be prepared as medical care is not as advance in the rural areas than in developed countries.
