## Week 1 — Bangkok, Thailand

Arrived exhausted after a 14-hour flight but the city woke me up instantly.

### Highlights
- **Wat Pho** — The reclining Buddha is enormous and serene.
- **Chatuchak Weekend Market** — 15,000 stalls. I got completely lost.
- **Khao San Road** at night — chaotic, loud, unmissable.

### Daily Budget

| Category       | Cost (USD) |
|----------------|------------|
| Accommodation  | $18        |
| Food           | $12        |
| Transport      | $5         |
| Activities     | $10        |
| **Total**      | **$45**    |

## Week 2 — Hanoi & Ha Long Bay, Vietnam

Ha Long Bay is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.

**Tips:**
- Book a 2-night cruise — 1 night is too rushed.
- Try **bún chả** in Hanoi. Obama ate it there for a reason.
- Use **Grab** (rideshare) over metered taxis.

## Week 3 — Siem Reap, Cambodia

Angkor Wat at sunrise. Enough said.
