Laos 2019 Solo Traveler Budget

Laos was cheap! Cheapppp….but I also didn’t do a lot of the advertised tourist activities. As well, traveling with someone else reduces costs. I did make a dumb mistake though. I had some Lao money left over and I forgot to change it in Laos. Apparently, you can not change the money outside of Laos so I had to enter it as an expense unless I find someone who is traveling to the country.

The total for my month in Laos is $578.12 with an average of $22.24 per day.

Big purchases:

• Prescription refill.
• Myanmar/Laos visa.

Exact numbers:

Restaurants: $151.16
Housing: $146.49
Bills: $90.10
Transit: $65.30
Prescriptions: $33.64
Shopping: $20.77
Entertainment: $16.95
Alcohol: $12.83
Transportation (taxi): $12.29
Water: $12.25
Bills: $9.35
Cafe: $6.89
Pharmacy: $5.95
Clothing: $3.50

One other thing I “got” was my flight to Myanmar – but I used my credit card points to pay for it!! WAHOOOO!
