Quick answer

What hidden costs should I expect in Asia?

International flights dominate the cost; visas (if required), airport transfers, domestic flights between countries, and travel insurance add up faster than daily lodging.

Southeast Asia is budget-friendly for daily costs but long-haul flights from Western countries are expensive. Domestic flights between countries (Bangkok to Hanoi, etc.) can cost $50–150 and save multi-day bus/train travel.

Visa costs vary: Thailand (free for most Western passports), Vietnam ($100), Japan (free). Travel insurance is essential for medical coverage in countries with limited Western facilities.
