Cheapest country you've been to

kraggy

Well, where was it for you?

Just wondering, for future reference.

For me, it was Bolivia, then Thailand.

Paraguay. Then probably Bolivia or Guatemala. A lot of South East Asia was dirt cheap last time i was there. But i seemed to spend more over there on stupid things.

I'd say Laos or Bolivia for me, they seemed to be roughly on a par.

Overall I'd say Laos. The backcountry of Nepal is also filthy cheap -1 euro beds, 1.50 for dinner.
Remember once going into an offie in the Philipinnes and coming out with 400 smokes and a bottle of whiskey for e4.50, lovely jubbly:D
Though if its a tank of petrol you're after there's probably no beating Iran or Venezuela . Chavez was practically giving the stuff away when I was there in 2004 for 8c a litre. Iran is a whopping 50% more expensive at 12c a litre.

Bolivia

Bolivia- by far! got an en suite hotel room in Tupiza with breakie for €4.50 each.

gary the great

Cambodia for me, outside Phenom Pheh, although Siem Reap was a good bit more expensive.

It was even cheaper for the locals as were being ripped off left right and centre

India without a doubt but for cheapness AND 'Western standards' - South Africa.

Ha no wonder i thought Paraguay was the cheapest. I just read that it is officially the cheapest country in the world. I couldn't give the money away when there.

I thought Ghana was cheap - 17,000 cedis /€ when I got there, so I quickly changed loadsa money.

4 weeks lates it was something like 30,000 cedis /€. Gutted!

Beer = 10,000. Hotel room = 40,000, freshly plucked coconut at the side of the road = 500!
