Come up with a plan<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Traveling spontaneously is great if you have the luxury of time and money to spare. But if you\u2019re traveling on a budget, the first thing to do is come up with a plan. You don\u2019t have to need a tight, hour-by-hour itinerary, but you should at least have an idea of how long you\u2019ll be spending in each city or country, and know the route that your epic adventure will take. Leaving less to chance means less unexpected spending; last-minute flights and accommodation are often far more expensive.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">You now have us guide you through <span style=\"color: #00aae7;\"><a style=\"color: #00aae7;\" href=\"https:\/\/onbird.vn\/category\/phu-quoc-travel\/\">helpful tips<\/a> &amp; <a style=\"color: #00aae7;\" href=\"https:\/\/onbird.vn\/product-categories\/tours-in-phu-quoc\/\">exotic plans<\/a> <\/span>in Phu Quoc.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11238\" src=\"https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dam-ngang-2.jpg\" alt=\"Dam Ngang 2\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong style=\"color: #808080; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #00aae7;\">3. Cash is king.<\/span> <\/strong><span style=\"color: #808080; text-align: justify;\">Withdraw enough cash before entering into any country.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Only exchange them upon arrival in that country, in local exchange counters in the tourist area, <strong>especially Duong Dong Town, where you can get all you need to stay in Phu Quoc Island during 30 days.<\/strong> Don\u2019t do it at the airport as well. Try to avoid withdrawing cash in local ATM. Local bank rate is always lower than outside currency exchange counter. Only do it when it is very urgent.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #00aae7;\"><strong>4. Be accommodation &amp; meal- savvy<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Trade expensive hotel suites for dorm rooms in hostels. Sharing a room naturally divides the costs and communal bunk rooms offer the opportunity to meet people who might be keen to explore with you. Simple book a spare room in a local person\u2019s house or apartment. It\u2019ll halve the price and allow you an authentic snapshot of real life in the city. Consider your host your very own, personal tour guide, filled with insider tips for the best eateries and tourist spots in that neighbourhood.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #00aae7;\">You can contact us for reasonable places to stay.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Plus, always choose <strong>a room with breakfast then eat heavy for breakfast<\/strong>. It\u2019s also better to have your own big bottle of water to bring back to the hotel room: hotel water can be charged too. Cheap lunches can be bought in a supermarket or even a local fresh food market, rather than in an overpriced cafe or restaurant. Aim to wander around before choosing a place to eat dinner too; if you just pick the first restaurant you see you won\u2019t know if you\u2019re overspending. Drinking beer with every dinner soon adds up \u2013 both your wallet and your waistline will thank you if you opt for water instead sometimes. Alternatively, hostels and spare rooms often let you have access to a kitchen if you want to save a little money by cooking for yourself.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6189\" src=\"https:\/\/onbird.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Northern-Long-Beach-Bai-Dai-Phu-Quoc-9.jpg\" alt=\"Northern Long Beach (bai Dai) Phu Quoc 9\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><span style=\"color: #00aae7;\"><strong>5. Travel light &amp; pack properly<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Make sure you bring everything you need so that you don\u2019t have to shop while you\u2019re away (apart from a few souvenirs). Don\u2019t buy check-in luggage, pack everything in a backpack, enough for 10kg of carry-on luggage. You won\u2019t want to carry 5kgs more of stuff and walk around.
