9) Vietnam
From north to south, the entirety of Vietnam is stunning. Bonus: this budget friendly country is comparable to Cambodia. Beer in Hanoi is 0.25 cents on many street corners. Stop by for a brew and experience the novelty of these “pop-up” bars. Pho, the most recognized noodle soup dish, is a satisfying $1.50 meal. Value aside, Vietnam has been blessed with multiple World Heritage Sites. Halong Bay is breathtaking. Deep turquoise waters cover 600 square miles, surrounding over 900 limestone islands topped with rainforests. Daily tours are a $5 bargain. Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park is home to some of the largest caves in the world. Stay within your budget by booking a homestay. Then there’s charming Hoi An. The beaches are gorgeous, very secluded, and free! Tailor-made clothes can be purchased in the downtown area at excellent deals. Just be prepared to shop around and haggle for the best price.
