Men­tion Viet­nam and what’s like­ly to come to mind is the war (and per­haps the lush green). But did you know this south east Asian nation offers unfor­get­table mem­o­ries at the most attrac­tive of prices? Well, a nice room in the largest city – Ho Chi Minh – could fetch at a pal­try $5 a night. Cou­ple this with a gen­er­ous serv­ing of pho, beef or chick­en noo­dle soup that goes for, ahem, 60c and wash it all down with a pint of local beer going for 30c or less and you got your­self a bar­gain!

 

The cul­ture of the Viet­namese runs deep and some of the attrac­tions like the Sapa and the hus­tle and bus­tle of the cap­i­tal Hanoi are the stuff of movies. And oh, the petite, cute, sexy Viet­namese women who don’t care whether you’re broke or rich make for a tan­ta­liz­ing prospect for any man, mar­ried or not.

2. Colombia

One of the spici­est trav­el des­ti­na­tions in South Amer­i­ca, Colom­bia offers you dra­mat­ic, unex­ploit­ed scenery. Trans­porta­tion on city bus­es costs no more than $1, with the Medellin metro a lit­tle under that, and a city cab a lit­tle under $6.

A typ­i­cal set lunch com­pris­ing meat, soup, side of pota­toes, beans or rice served with fresh fruit juice goes for about $4, with a din­ner at a tourist restau­rant going for an aver­age 15 bucks. If you would rather the street del­i­ca­cies, a dol­lar to three will get you a full meal that includes beef or chick­en.

Beer is cheap­est at con­ve­nience stores and if you would fan­cy some breath­tak­ing Colom­bian girls, you will read­i­ly find them in the buzzing nightlife. You do know these are some of the most beau­ti­ful women in the world, right? Enough said!

3. Philippines

One of the most wel­com­ing of all trop­i­cal Asian coun­tries, the Philip­pines pro­vides for a cheap hol­i­day des­ti­na­tion. What it may lack in infra­struc­ture as com­pared to its neigh­bors it makes up for in hol­i­day lifestyle and enter­tain­ment, and more so for the sin­gle male who, if not care­ful, might find him­self set­tling here per­ma­nent­ly after a Fil­ip­ina sen­sa­tion steals his heart. Care­ful boys, these ones will have you stick­ing out your tongue, quite lit­er­al­ly.

And per­haps the best thing about Philip­pines – next to the girls – is the low cost of liv­ing. The dol­lar here can get you many things, from food to drinks to tour­ing the var­i­ous attrac­tions. What’s more, this is among the friend­liest peo­ple in the world and the mem­o­ries will last you a life­time.

The val­ue-hunt­ing trav­el­er will have known that cur­rent­ly, Riv­iera Maya and Can­cun boast more five-star resorts than Hawaii and the Caribbean put togeth­er, with the price on dif­fer­ent ends of the spec­trum. The coun­try has been one of the top bud­get hol­i­day des­ti­na­tions for years with hip, authen­tic cui­sine spots that cost just a few pesos. The home of tequi­la and mari­achi is not short of afford­able drinks too, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

The allure of Mex­i­co is like a drug, and a trip here is not com­plete with­out min­gling with some of the finest women to set foot in this world. Con­sid­er your­self lucky if you have arm-charmed one or two to cap off your unfor­get­table days.
