So, Cheapism tapped a half-dozen bloggers for their recommendations for destinations that can be experienced on $20 a day or less for food and accommodations. Here are some of their top suggestions, as well several destinations identified by combing through budget travel sites and hostel listings. All prices were researched in early July and are subject to change.

No matter where you are in the country — Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket — it's possible to eat and sleep on a shoestring budget. "Delicious meals can be bought on the street for as little as 10 baht (29 cents) for a skewer of chicken or 60 baht ($1.75) for a heaping plate of fresh crab fried rice," says Kyle Stewart, travel editor for the blog Live and Let's Fly. "Youth hostels are available from just $2 a night and there are dozens and dozens of options." Stewart suggests the Barn and Bed Hostel in Bangkok, which is about $13 per night.
VIETNAM  This is another stunning destination that won't bankrupt you. From Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, there are fabulous cheap eats and remarkably affordable places to sleep in Vietnam. "Just last week I purchased a bánh mì omelet sandwich for breakfast made on the street outside the opera for 97 cents," says Stewart. "Bowls of pho noodle soup with chicken, beef, or pork are widely available for just $2." Hostels, meanwhile, start at around $3 per night. The Hanoi Buddy Inn & Travel, which charges $7 per night, received an "excellent" rating from users on Hotels.com.
INDONESIA  A sprawling nation made up of thousands of islands, Indonesia is yet another destination where it's possible to travel for very little. Rooms at the Maya Village Bali can start at just $5 per night, and that includes breakfast and free Wi-Fi. As for food, Stewart says noodles and rice dishes can be purchased in Bali for between $2 to $3 a plate. "Bintang beer is enjoyed by locals and foreigners alike for less than a buck," he adds. "And if you're short of things to do — head to the beach for some of the best surfing in the world."
