Hii, this is my first time making a post so forgive me if I ask too much! I tried looking through the searches already too but I sincerely appreciate all the help!!
OK SO, I am currently on a student exchange in Singapore and once the semester is over (early May), my friend will be visiting me and we're planning on backpacking to a few countries for about 3-4 weeks then flying back home to Toronto from Singapore. We are students so our budget's a bit tight and why we can't do much longer but we were thinking to do Indonesia (spec. Bali and maybe surrounding islands like Gili and Java) for about 10 days, Philippines, Vietnam, and maybee a short couple day stops in Thailand Cambodia or Malaysia (if too much which places would you cut out?) I know we won't be able to truly experience the countries but looking for a nice intro to Southeast Asia and hopefully in the future I can do a really long backpacking trip, so please dont suggest doing only one place we know we don't have that much time/money to do longer :( BUT for now:
I was wondering if anyone can give advice on a rough itinerary/best route from which country to what (we'll be flying to Toronto from Singapore at the end) or how long to stay in each!??? Honestly any advice even on must sees/don't bother with some places, recommended hostels, cheap travel tricks?
ALSO, I have already been around Thailand but my friend really wants to go so she may go earlier than me for a short trip & I may just meet her there to start off our journey instead of from Singapore. BUTTT we heard about the full moon party, & it would be around the 19th of May so near the middle of our travelling so would it be an inconvenience/ruin the flow of the route to go just for that, any insights??
Sorry for all the questions once again! It's my first time doing all this so any tips are really appreciated! Thank youuu:)
