The local currency is the riel. A tourist visa is required. While on vacation, you need to follow simple safety rules: do not provoke conflicts (there are enough weapons left in the country after the guerrilla war), do not walk alone along dark streets, and do not carry valuable items with you. Boil local water before drinking. Swim in strictly designated areas. In this country you can stay overnight for 50-60 rubles and have a tasty and inexpensive meal. Everyone comes to the country more tourists make a pilgrimage or get acquainted with ancient, unique monuments of religion and culture. Cambodia is rich in pagodas, Buddhist temple complexes, palaces and national parks.

    Vietnam

    Another country in Southeast Asia, neighboring Cambodia, China and Laos. An economically rapidly developing state, where it is not uncommon to meet our compatriots. For 250 rubles a day you can get the minimum necessary for living: overnight accommodation, food, travel and drinks. The only inconvenience is the long flight. If you add a little more money, you can get the world's cheapest diving, see stunning temple complexes and National parks.

    India

    India has developed hotel and tourism services for wealthy vacationers, but you can settle in those areas of the country where the standard of living is very low. And here accommodation, meals and even taxi rides, with sightseeing and elephant riding, will cost you only 750 rubles per day. Please be careful when handling personal items, drinking water and raw foods. And most importantly - don't kill the cow!

    Bolivia

    A very remote country from Russia South America, which seems to have it all: the Cordillera, the Incan city, the salt desert and the Amazon jungle. And also countless political upheavals and poverty. Spend a dollar on a bowl of potato soup and 30 rubles on sightseeing a day, and you will feel that you still have enough money left for a second bowl, an overnight stay and a decent entertainment program. The difficulty is the constant need to protect yourself from the sun's rays.

    Hungary

    This is the most cheap option for holidays in Europe. The proximity of flights with budget airlines has made this country even more accessible for Russian vacationers. 50 rubles for the train, hotel room for 20 dollars a day and 100 rubles for food. The rest of the money can be spent on thermal springs and a tasting of Hungarian wines. The main thing is that smokers are not welcome here.

    Honduras

    Small state in Central America, not known to our Russian vacationers. Of course, it’s a long flight, and you’ll have to apply for a tourist visa, but then, upon arrival, for just $30 a day you’ll get a real opportunity to relax. Snow-white beaches and diving in the Red Sea, cheap food and accommodation, Indian villages and nature reserves. And a refreshing breeze blows from the ocean.

    Bulgaria

    One of the most favorite Russian tourists holiday destinations in Eastern Europe. For a thousand rubles a day, you can even get comfortable living conditions in the capital of the country: delicious cuisine, pleasant drinks and a comfortable bed.

    Sri Lanka

    Here you can find a room in a cheap beach hotel for 750 rubles per day. And all the delights of a leisurely outdoor recreation are at your service: fishing, diving, barbecue. It's just a long flight to get here. In order not to spoil your holiday, thoroughly wash and boil everything you can and do not use local drinking water. For your journey through the jungle, don't forget to buy anti-malarial tablets. And most importantly, there are very arrogant monkeys in the country!

    Argentina

    Argentina is located in the very south of South America and everything in it bears the proud title of “southernmost”. The country's capital is famous for its very rich nightlife, but far from the entertainment centers you can find a room for 750 rubles a day and relax at your own discretion. The food in Argentina is excellent: meat and wine. And very big variety cultural events and places of rest. But a flight to the “southernmost” country will not be cheap.

    Greece

    The economic crisis in the country forced the Greek authorities to increase the attractiveness of the region for tourists. In particular, accommodation for vacationers has become cheaper, there is the opportunity to relax on free beaches, cheap hotels and food. Well, there is no point in talking about the sights of Greece - they are known to any schoolchild.

    To this rating it is worth adding the opportunity to relax in Russia itself. As can be seen from the list, the cheapness of the holiday itself is often offset by the high cost of flights and the need to apply for a tourist visa. In some cases, “cheapness” means a sharp climate change and food poisoning, an extremely unstable political and economic situation in the country.

    There are also countries where holidays are considered inexpensive. Bali - heavenly conditions for a vacation at the rate of $60 for a month's accommodation, $20 for food per week, but, again, a very expensive flight. Laos- very beautiful landscapes at an inexpensive level of accommodation. Rent a one-room apartment for a month will cost only 100 dollars. You can buy groceries cheaply, and for about 10 dollars on the Internet. Vacations in Guatemala. All amenities in a one-room apartment for a month’s stay will cost $200. The products are cheap, you can spend 25-40 dollars a week. When making a budget for your trip, add 20 percent for unforeseen expenses and be sure to stock up on insurance.

    Even in times of crisis, you can find opportunities to travel abroad cheaply. The only thing you need is
    1. do not resort to the services of travel agencies; 2. choose countries that offer inexpensive holidays;
    3. If possible, book everything in advance.

    In many countries, it is easy to reduce travel expenses if you choose public transport to get around and look for hotels based on the principle “we just need to spend the night.” For example, in India or Indonesia, the daily budget for two is on average 40-50 US dollars.
