During the recent Krabi ni, we met with two men from
Malaysia in Hatyai train station.
Friendly and sweet person. Apparently, this was their first
time to travel out of Malaysia.
They asked us how we budget to get there?
My answer, in approximately RM430 I switched to the baht.
That the budget for the transport of Hatyai to Krabi return, lodging, meals and
tours that we took there.
These costs do not include KL bus to Hatyai Hatyai and train
tickets for the return journey to KL.
He was surprised. With RM430 enough to travel 4 days 5
nights?
We asked him how the expense?
With a face full of sadness, she said lodging alone is $
1200, shared both.
Oh ...
I do not want to question any person or budget holiday
accommodation options. Each is entitled to a vacation in a backpack or a luxury
vacation.
But when you see the resentment of people who want to learn
new travel abroad and actually really want to save money, we at I Backpacker
compelled to share basic tips on how to save without wandering through tour
packages.
The biggest cost is in the relaxation or adventure
1) transport to the destination
2) accommodation
3) the cost of the activities in the destination
4) eat.
1) Transportation Costs
For the cost of transport, if you want to save, use the
express bus or cheap flights. Checks on the site itself or play low click-click
on the webwww.skyscanner.com or www.kayak.com. You can download apps to your
mobile phone, so it's a cheap ticket mudah.Cari play or set a date for this
website feel free to email you if there are changes in the price of the fare
for your desired date.
Besides finding airline tickets from Kuala Lumpur, consider
also the opposite ticket from Johor Bahru or Singapore. Sometimes tickets from
two destinations more economically. From KL to JB or Singapore, the bus ride
alone.
2) Accommodation
For your budget ni choke, if any friends or relatives living
in the city where you want to go, may overlap only sleep in their homes. There
is that if immediate family members to go to study or work there. What else ..
grab a chance for this.
Free accommodation. Just bring groceries Malaysia is there
to be cooked together or as souvenirs. Eg tom yam paste, curry Maggie, floss,
rice cake soon, ketchup fan shrimp or whatever materials Malaysian cuisine is
difficult to obtain in the country tu. Sure host smiled happily.
In addition to the host that we already know, can also
consider staying in someone else's house to sleep through the website
www.couchsurfing.com. This site brings together people who love to travel and
are willing to place his or room sofa in her home to travelers.
Do not forget to read the review traveler or host it before
agreeing to stay at his home or receive visits. Essentially helping free. Today
you ride the ride sleep, tomorrow you may also live with people.
But for Muslims, preferably looking for host women also make
it easier for you to keep your private parts and mixing.
If staying at the hotel, choose a backpacker hostel or
budget hotel only. Needless-star hotels. If you're traveling solo, in twos and
threes, you can stay in a hostel dorm only. If you have more budget, may stay
in the private room.
There are dorm and private room available its own bathroom.
There is a shared bathroom outside.
Note also other facilities such as locker, if the dorm, tv,
aircond or just a fan, towels and wifi available in the room or in the lobby
only.
For women, female dorm can find. However, in some developing
countries, women's dorm is rare or if there is already a lot more expensive.
Find and book accommodation that meets your budget online.
Among the well-known sites and that I always use is www.booking.com, and
www.hostelbookers.com www.agoda.com. In addition, the website also famous
airbnb.com if you want to rent a house hold.
But in some places in Indonesia or developing countries, an
inn for a walk in or book by telephone direct to the hostel / hotel is less
than book online.
When me and my family to France, we booked a caravan at the
campground only. Although small and simple, it is much more charm.
3) The cost of an activity in the destination.
These costs include the cost of transportation to travel or
ticket / charge for some activities at the destination. It also includes
admission to the museum, park or sea entrance fee to the world heritage site.
For who wants to save money, make a study of how the right
taxi, tuk-tuk or rickshaw to get to one destination. Avoid contact with tap.
If you need to rent a boat, survey boat before in all the
existing operators. Get the best price. If rents boats, discussion with friends
or other travelers are looking for a gang to share the cost of rent.
If you need to rent a car there, go in the number of three,
four or seven. It's so easy you rent a normal car or a SUV that can be filled
by a maximum of six or seven children.
If you go five, totally wrong. Want to hire a car does not
fit. Rent two expensive cars, Hire a MPV was much empty.
4) Eat
Then tu dah budget, do not eat it at an expensive
restaurant. We recommend that you bring fast food from Malaysia to accommodate
at least breakfast or dinner. Can bring Maggie, instant porridge, talismans and
any food
Enjoy your trips!!!!
