    You may want to add C) Air conditioning to that list. In many parts of SE Asia it's the difference between a good night's sleep and a bad one in a room that's like a sauna.

    Haha me and my friend had many many discussions about this as back in 2011 you could get fan rooms for £2 a night (shared dorm) whereas air con was more like £12 plus per night.

    We did Thailand, Maylasia and Singapore and I don't think we spent more than £1500 including flights.

    I've just spent £6500 for Oz and New Zealand in 2 and a half months including all flights so if you shop around money will last yiu longer and live better in the countries you mentioned
