No Thailand thread? Surprising.
I'm trying to set up a trip for this coming summer. Since I'm not liable to have a particularly big budget, I was considering traveling around Southeast Asia. I might fly directly to Bangkok or spend a few days in New Delhi first, considering that I have a 5- or 10-year multiple-entry visa for India. I tend to like chaotic, crazy, and bustling cities, as well as good food and friendly people. I'm not a virgin and have a girlfriend, so sex tourism isn't a draw for me in the slightest.
How do the costs of traveling SEA (Malaysia and Singapore excepted) compare to South Asia? Is Thailand as cheap as India in most regards? What are people like? Are foreigners - specifically single, white males - often regarded as sex tourists?
Gonna be honest in saying that I've never had much of an interest in the region. It just seems like the sort of place bogans go to get fucked up and bang ladyboys, but everybody keeps talking about how great it is.
What's a decent daily budget for somebody who's traveled a lot? Not interested in guided tours and the like, primarily because I'm not a richfag. Just want to see some cool stuff, meet interesting people, and get lost in a new corner of the world for a few months.
Am open to any and all recommendations, inside Thailand, around the region, or elsewhere. Was also thinking about South America. I have $1.2k in Delta flight vouchers, so airfare isn't a problem to most places.
