- Southeast Asia Discovery: Seasides and Street Food
An unforgettable trip of a lifetime. Sit was the best tour guide and the smaller group meant we made some life long friends. Thank you Sit and G Adventures!
- Vision of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand Tour 18 Days 17 Nights
I spent 25 days travelling across Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, and I couldnt have had a better partner for this than Asia Focus Travel, and especially Ms Thu. They were flexible to adjust the travel itinerary to my interests and to allow me to change the direction of my travel so that I could see both the Vietnamese and Thai lantern festivals. For the preparation of my travel, they sent me all necessary information about flights and visas, and Ms Thu remained 24/7 available throughout my travel, always caring for me. It was a great help that all transfers, hotels and programs were booked, so I did not need to worry about anything when I arrived to a new country. The hotels were very high standards, the drivers were fully reliable, always on time, and in-between the interesting programs there was sufficient time left to discover the places on my own. During the travel one day I got sick (luckily nothing serious), and Ms Thu moved mountains and alerted everyone around me to look after me, until I could reach the hospital. This was very much appreciated as a solo traveler, as despite being far from my family, I was not alone. Ms Thu also remained very helpful and flexible when I modified some of the travel days towards the end of the travel, and even helped for me to look up information regarding visas and re-entries to some countries. All in all, this travel was a lifetime experience for me, and the help of Ms Thu made it absolutely safe, reliable and smooth. I can fullheartedly recommend this agency for any travel plans.

What our customers ask about Budget Tours & Trips to South East Asia
How much should I budget for optional activities?
Set aside 150-250 USD for optional activities during a 2-week tour in Southeast Asia. In Bangkok you'll find Thai cooking classes for 35 USD while Hue offers motorbike tours at 25 USD. Nha Trang's snorkeling excursions cost around 30 USD. Recent travelers note the value of having extra funds especially in Thailand and Vietnam where affordable side trips add depth to the journey.
What is the average daily budget needed for meals not included in tours?
Budget 15-25 USD per day for meals outside the tour package in Southeast Asia. Local street food costs between 2-5 USD with restaurant meals ranging from 5-15 USD. While tours often cover breakfast and select other meals travelers should plan for additional dining and drinks. Recent feedback suggests Thailand requires more meal budget than other destinations but the culinary experiences justify the expense.
What are the best budget-friendly areas for exploring in South East Asia?
Northern Thailand's Chiang Mai and Vang Vieng along with central Vietnam's Hoi An and Hue offer excellent value. Cambodia's Siem Reap rounds out the top budget destinations. These places combine low-cost lodging local food options and affordable activities. In Hoi An for example visitors can enjoy cycling tours cooking classes and beach activities without spending much. Travelers often highlight the area's mix of cultural experiences and reasonable prices.
When is the most affordable time to visit South East Asia?
Look for deals during the shoulder seasons from May to June or September to October. Prices peak in Northern Thailand and Vietnam from December to February. Better rates appear from May through September in destinations like Hanoi and Halong Bay. Visitors in September report good value and smaller crowds at major attractions like Angkor Wat though occasional afternoon rain showers occur.
Are entrance fees to attractions in South East Asia included in tour prices?
Most budget tours cover entry to major sites including Angkor Wat (37 USD) Cu Chi Tunnels (10 USD) and Halong Bay (25 USD). Extra costs typically apply for optional experiences such as cooking classes (25-35 USD) bicycle tours (10-15 USD) and spa visits. At Angkor Wat while standard tours include entry fees special experiences like sunrise visits come at an additional cost.
What type of accommodation do the budget South East Asia tours offer?
Budget tours provide a range of lodging from hostels to basic hotels and overnight transport. Properties like Siem Reap's Hari Residence Resort and Hanoi's Dal Vostro Hotel offer simple but comfortable rooms. Many tours mix traditional stays including village homestays with practical transportation options like overnight trains.
