- Tourists should change currency before traveling countries in Southeast Asia; besides, it is easy to spend US dollars. For example, the currency of Indonesia is Rupiah, of Thailand is Baht, of Malaysia is Ringgit, of Singapore is Singapore dollar, of Philippines is Philippine Peso, of Cambodia is Riel, of Laos is Kip, of East Timor is US dollar, of Brunei is Brunei dollar, and of Myanmar is Kyat.
- One of the recommendations when travel to the Southeast Asian countries, tourists should use the vehicles that are popular in that country. Taxi and Tuk Tuk are fairly common vehicles in Cambodia and Thailand; bus, motor-taxi, and taxi are preferred in Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
- If it strikes your fancy try street cuisine in the Southeast Asia. The street cuisine reflects unique cultural features of the countries. In the Southeast Asia, the most delicious and unique dishes are tasted at street food stands in stead of in luxury restaurants. The price is quite cheap and affordable.
- Tourists should book hotels near entertainment centers, culinary streets such as Hanoi Old Quarter (Hanoi, Vietnam), Chinatown (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam), Bugis (Singapore), Pratunam (Bangkok, Thailand), Jalan Alor (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia). In terms of drinks, famous brands of beer have unique flavors and cheaper price than the imported ones. Fruit juices are always top choices, as all of the countries are located in the tropical climate, fruits are abundant with different kinds.
- Climate in Southeast Asia has a similarity in some countries. Yet, it is convenient to travel these countries all year round.
- One tip when shopping in these countries is tourists should bargain first in markets. For example in Laos, it is easy to bargain, while it is a bit of difficulty in Thailand. In Vietnam, it will be a "big challenge" when bargaining. It is noted that in big shopping malls, prices are listed; thus, tourists hardly can bargain. Yet, these malls often have big sales or attractive promotions.
