Well, hey,, 267,276yen for 43days…, I didn’t expect so much spent…!! Oh no~…
Actually, it’s too much spent in South East Asia but normal tourist don’t need to spend for Diving, Dentist and Souvenir, so if exclude these money, it turn115,273yen for total.

Reasons why so expensive, because
#It was Lunar New Year in Viet Nam, transports cost turned more than double price.
#It was Full moon party in Koh Pha Ngan, the boat to Koh Tao was expensive too.
#Everything was expensive in Koh Tao.
#I stayed good hotel in Hat Yai.
#Price rate was getting high day by day.

I traveled South East Asia for the first time in 3 years, I sometimes forgot to sense of negotiate and didn’t pay attention so much, so I have to go back to beginner mind!!

Anyway, I enjoyed this travel as usual, traveling is super fun every time!!
