Money-Saving Tips
Eat at local hawker centers instead of hotel restaurants for typically 60-80% savings on meals
Use public buses and walk when possible instead of taxis to save 70-85% on transportation costs
Book accommodation directly with properties or during off-peak periods for 20-40% discounts
Shop at local markets rather than tourist shopping areas for 40-60% lower prices on souvenirs
Choose free activities like beaches and temples over paid attractions to reduce daily activity costs by 50-90%
Stay in areas where locals live rather than main tourist zones for generally 30-50% cheaper accommodation and food
Common Budget Mistakes to Avoid
Taking taxis everywhere instead of using public transport, which typically costs 3-5 times more per trip
Eating exclusively in tourist areas or hotel restaurants, usually resulting in 100-200% markup on food costs
Not researching free activities and overspending on paid attractions when many cultural sites and beaches cost nothing to visit
