In reply to Aldo. Hi Aldo. PHP to THB, oks lang na sa Thailand mismo since it's easy to find good rates for PHP there. Pero in my experience, hirap humanap ng good PHP rates sa Cambodia/Laos/Vietnam so ang ginagawa ko is may dala akong USD.

Hi, what’s your suggestion about how I can convert my currencies? Like from PH to TH to VT, etc. Thanks

In reply to Abby Gerolia. Hi Abby! I usually bring USD and PHP. In countries na OK ang rates ng peso (e.g. Singapore), pinapapalit ko peso. But in my experience, ang hirap maghanap ng OK na rates for peso in Laos/Vietnam/Cambodia, as in sobrang panget ng rates madalas. So safer to bring USD.

This is so helpful! I will be exploring SE Asia next year after an internship in Thailand so this has helped me put my plan together a bit better. Incredible how cheap most places are. I’m still undecided about Singapore though due to how expensive it is. Maybe I’ll do a short trip there, seems a shame to miss it!

This post is very enlightening, thank you! I have a question lang po, how did you deal with currency exchanges throughout your travel? Did you exchange currencies for every country?
