Asia Travel FAQs

You have questions about Asia and we are here to answer them.


Indonesia, Vietnam and Cambodia are among the cheapest countries in Asia for travellers in 2025. Daily budgets can be as low as £20–30, covering food, transport, and accommodation. India and Laos are also very affordable. However, costs depend on travel style – luxury in Asia is still far cheaper than Europe or the US but obviously still costs more than travelling on a budget.
