El Nido

Especially if you love the sun, sand and sea, El Nido has just that to offer you. For a busy 3 days and 2 nights stay, you can spend about 5000 pesos per person in El Nido with activities such as island hopping, kayaking, snorkelling and going on island tours.

Puerto Princesa

You could definitely have a worthwhile experience on a budget at Puerto Princesa. They have Budget Tour and Adventure packages that won’t break your bank account. Go on an underground river tour and experience one of the new Seven Wonders of The Natural World of the Palawan Underground River, go snorkelling in Honda Bay Island or take a thrilling ride on the Asia’s longest canopy forest zipline!

Bangkok

A shopping hub and food fantasy come true for shopaholics and foodies everywhere! From affordable apparels to accessories, it’s time to put your bargaining skills to good use. The street food isn’t something you want to forgo either. Grilled seafood and meat, mango sticky rice, phad thai etc. Just don’t splurge all the money you have on the day of arrival, ya?

Ho Chi Minh

If you’re not a fan of shopping and would rather go sight-seeing, explore as well as expand your knowledge at the same time, this city which is rich in history is the perfect destination for you. There, you’ll get to learn about the Vietnam War, explore the Cu Chi Tunnels and not forgetting eating Vietnamese food! Make sure Pho and Bahn Mi is on your list of food to try!

Yogyakarta

If you love architectural designs and old buildings, you’ll definitely fall in love with the temples in Yogya/Jogja. The city offers wondrous sights to feast the eyes upon as the city’s culture and past is greatly preserved in this part of Indonesia.
