Budget-minded aussie travellers have been visiting asia for decades with many regarding bali as our 9th state. but where else in asia can we travel on a budget?


While Indo and South Eastern Asia are known for their cheap prices and beautiful landscapes, many cities across the entire continent have remained extremely inexpensive. So while there are certainly a lot to choose from – let’s put Denpasar on hold for the minute and find the best places to travel in asia here that are the most budget-friendly and interesting to visit in 2018.


1. Kathmandu, Nepal

Visitors to Nepal generally head to the country’s mountains for trekking excursions, however, the city of Kathmandu is worth spending a few days in. Kathmandu caters to a wide range of budgets. It’s a city that backpackers have been flocking to for decades, with many different hostels and guesthouses available for less than $20 per night. Travel within the city is inexpensive as well.





2. Yangon, Myanmar

 Myanmar has been featured in the news as of late due to the government’s alleged ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya people. The capital city of Yangon is often viewed as a stopping point for travellers heading

 to the incredible ancient city of Bagan. Furthermore, accommodation is very cheap here, with numerous hostels available for less than $15 per night. Myanmar continues to struggle with violent conflicts, however, tourists are unlikely to be affected in any way. 
Just check in with Smartraveller before booking those flights, as the situation is in flux. 




3. Taipei, Taiwan

The capital city of Taiwan has become a centre of economic and technological progress in Asia. It’s not often viewed as a budget-friendly city, especially compared to areas within Southeast Asia, however, travellers
here can still visit Taipei comfortably on a shoestring budget. Many budget hostels are available here for around$25 per night, and a meal at an inexpensive restaurant will cost around $5. As Taiwan’s economy continues to grow, prices in the capital city are likely to go up, making now the perfect time to visit. 




4. New Delhi, India

India itself is considered to be a subcontinent. It’s a place like no other, where the culture
is as diverse as the geography.  Paharganj, the main backpacking area here, is still filled with many affordable guesthouses and hostels. Travel outside this area will be an adventure, as traffic in India is infamously hectic. Many of the museums are free here, and budget-minded travellers can eat a good meal for less than $5. 





5.Bangkok, Thailand

Bangkok, the capital city of the country known as the “land of smiles”, is well known as one of the most budget-friendly asia travel places on the planet. Khao San Road remains the go-to area in Bangkok for budget travellers.A wide range of different hotels and hostels are located here, some of which cost less than $20 per night. It’s also filled with extremely affordable restaurants and a fantastic nightlife scene. Bangkok may not remain cheap forever, so visit it now while the prices are still low.
