unironically this, all you need to do is check a few things:
>visa cost*/requirements *can be free
>flight cost (one-way then hop, or get a return flight if it's cheaper (retarded it can be cheaper, but also easier to get a visa approved)
>stay in hostels
>eat street food and at local eateries (e.g. cha chaan teng in HK)
>if you want to drink, pre-drink from 7/11
>avoid fine dining and cocktail bars, tourist traps etc
>if you smoke, cigs are 1000* cheaper in SEA than the West
>travel by bus/train instead of taxis
>decide if you want a suitcase or bag pack, suit cases aren't designed to travel on much more than flat surfaces, so if you are planning to go to an urban jungle, think about this carefully (also cheap flights don't usually include checked in luggage)
>set a budget per day by dividing your savings after paying for flights; $3000/90 is $33 a day
>get shots for hep abc and shit like that
>if you are flakey, book accommodation that you pay for on arrival in case you extend your trip elsewhere (ie dont waste money on plans you may not commit to)
>treat yourself every now and then if you can afford it
>get travel insurance
