Vietnam and Laos are praised by British newspaper Time Out as two Southeast Asian destinations with low costs but still "good food, comfortable sleep and complete exploration".
The famous British travel magazine Time Out has selected the most economical countries for tourists, based on the real-life experiences of reporter Lola Méndez. She has spent 5 years traveling in Southeast Asia and considers this region attractive to tourists on a limited budget. From 12 pounds a day (about 420,000 VND), you can "eat well, sleep comfortably and explore fully".
Vietnam came second on the list, with an average cost of £15 a day (about 520,000 VND). "Vietnam has the cheapest beer. Draft beer is usually less than 20,000 VND a glass. A full meal with bread costs less than 25,000 VND at street stalls. Travelers can also rest comfortably in highly rated dorms or guesthouses (8 points or more on Booking.com), with prices starting at 80,000 VND per night," the British reporter wrote.
