A, airfare and hotel
No matter where we go, air tickets and hotel always accounts for the lion's share of the trip. If this part we can save money, basic this trip is very affordable.
I go to Indonesia, brunei, Thailand, and Singapore, are ordered "machine + wine". "Machine + wine" as the name suggests is the flight + hotel. The idea is to fire up in recent years. When I first order also have less website, and now has been springing up. You open a travel website (such as ctrip, with cheng, road net... Myself I will not deliberately illustrates, lest she said I write soft wen, advertising), there will be "machine + wine" column. That is to say, you entrust travel web site to help you to book air tickets and hotel, because the travel web site can get relatively cheap price of air tickets and hotel accommodation, so general than you book the same flight and hotel will be cheaper.
For example, when I went to Singapore in February this year, "machine + wine" in package is provided by shenzhen airlines flight and holiday hotel and Beijing hotel. Before I am scheduled to searched if I order the same time of flight and hotel cost. A contrast found that my own order than entrust website costs nearly $300. So, without further ado, I went down the "machine + wine" orders.
But even if I push "machine + wine" package, still can't deny that it has the following disadvantages: 1) limits the round-trip flight time and hotel, if apply for to upgrade or change, are generally very expensive; 2) to a certain extent can't follow one's inclinations. So if you want to book, you can do that.
- Due to budget airlines
Because I have been to the basic is southeast Asia countries, so I'm more familiar with cheap air - air Asia. Airasia is basic flying southeast Asia, mainly go Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines. But the basic point of departure is a second-tier cities in the more developed, such as Beijing, Shanghai, guangzhou, shenzhen, hangzhou, changsha,... So, you happen to be in these cities, and want to go to southeast Asia, so take it is a good choice. To know in airasia 100 $can fly to Singapore, I've seen 20 $including tax from shantou to Bangkok. And one more thing to say, because it is cheap air, therefore, baggage, meal to the other.
Also, airasia is usually make activities. Have the activity is essentially a route 0 $large presses, which means you only have to pay taxes in order to fly to go abroad.
- Choose a home stay facility
In terms of the price of a home stay facility is often compared to the hotel to beauty, and home stay clean and tidy now also take small and pure and fresh and different region amorous feelings. Outside the lines, I recommend the "reality". Here, stay in Chiang mai, Thailand single-family cottage, as long as it's a night $30. Yes, you are a man bag under a whole house oh, there are swimming pool and garden! Super cheap?
Of course, if you want to save money, can choose to live with the local people a suite, is also a room of their own independent. That price is cheaper, but also to understand the life of local people. Because I am a don't like and others live together, so I don't have tried this way.
If you are three or four friends travel together, so please believe me, go BaoYiDong home stay facility. Would not have your rate after the split three or four people, really not too cheap! Of course, if you are travel alone, and want to save money, in addition to looking for a single room of the home stay facility, you can also go to "Agoda", "Booking" on the order
Second, visa and insurance
Go abroad to play must buy visa and insurance, but to admit that the money can save the space is very small. Basic every time on it but I can save tens to hundreds of.
Visa is I choose in taobao entrust travel agency to handle, than to the embassy to deal with your travel agent or entrust, cheaper decades to one hundred. If meet activity, it will more cheap.
Insurance I was directly in the paypal directly buy overseas travel insurance, very convenient, in my strength directly click submit. On a global scale can be used in addition to Iraq. Provide security: accidental death and disability, medical, property loss and travel delay, bank card stolen brush, etc. Five days below $3, 6-8 days 5 $(apparently). Anyway in other ways than I see insurance to offer too much
Three, outside the airport transportation and traffic
Most of foreign and domestic cities, the airport is built by the relatively remote. Of course if there a subway in the airport, can take the subway. But in some countries or MRT subway price on the high side. Such as Thailand. Before I go to Thailand, from victory monument to riverside night market, a single one is 40 + baht. By chance a taxi, later found a taxi a trip as long as 90 + baht, and we had 4 people travel, split the better than by subway preferential. So, if you are more than 3 people travel at the same time, can choose to take a taxi.
Before but I choose to subway commute, I'll get to the Internet to check the place under the airport transportation price. Personally, I often use "charter" of the emperor, they are specifically for transporting, airport transportation, on taobao flagship store. Before I went to Thailand last year, I began to pay attention to their home for more than three month in advance of shuttle machine. The normal price is RMB 90 + a economical five cars. But I still feel that remains to be seen. So I just put the link on my shopping cart. One day, suddenly found it going to be a bargain, the price as long as the $8 a car, we split 4 people, as long as 12 yuan. Frankly speaking, they are home airport transportation normal price I feel too expensive, so everyone to catch them doing activities, to begin immediately.
Traffic and transport machine, said the next abroad. Traffic if you want to, you'll take the subway, can choose to take a taxi if people travel. I go to a place, can use first "Google maps" check under my origin and destination of the distance, as long as it is below 2 km, I choose to walk to, so that transportation cost is 0. In addition, I basic is to choose the subway.
Fourth, overseas tickets and the entertainment consumption
About the tickets and the entertainment consumption, by is your budget. I need to go to scenic spots in the choice, will pay attention to whether or not it to the ticket. Before going to Singapore, for example, in fact I have some interest in their aquarium, then looked at the price of a ticket, then wanted to think like I also went to the aquarium, so finally gave up. Such as the grand palace in Thailand again, need tickets 500 baht, but if you think I'm going to the grand palace said don't go to Thailand, I can be in-depth local streets, and then you can not go. After all, not everyone go to Thailand to the grand palace. In this way, the money you will be saved. Yes, if you like, then you can not go to any need to charge. (but I didn't done before, now I will choose 1-3 I really want to go to the charging spots) entertainment consumption is also the same.
If you want to charge spots and want to play entertainment project, then you can draw lessons from the practice. I'll check in before you leave, well I will go to the attractions tickets. Travel web sites at the same time, such as taobao, check whether there is selling tickets, how much if any price concessions. General and original price preferential than 2 $more, I will choose in the domestic web site order.
Of course, in addition to tickets, and some want to go to the entertainment. Like going to Thailand pattaya play water sports, such as parachute go to Singapore by sightseeing cable car, can also find on the website, than in the local buy affordable, usually can be booked in advance, and then go directly to a voucher code.
Five, diet and consumption abroad
I outbound tourism, basic expenses are paid in domestic, such as air ticket, hotel, airport transportation, tickets and so on. In the local need to pay the money, just eat and drink and buy a little thing. Eat and drink, must go down to the local life, want to save money and go to the night market. Such as Cambodia Siam night market, it looks quite fancy restaurant over there to eat dinner, is equivalent to $10. To a roadside stall in Bangkok, Thailand for one Fried powder, equivalent to less than 1$, full and real benefit.
Of course, want to buy a little thing, such as souvenir, can be completely strategy, absorb the experience of predecessors, know where affordable, then to bargain.
According to my personal experience, as long as you can order to relatively cheap airfare and hotel, then go out a trip to the overhead is much more. So the most important thing is that in the country have to lower the cost of the payment. Hope the above personal experience and Suggestions to some, I hope everyone can go take a look at the world, after all, the world so big
