TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion primarily revolves around traveling to Southeast Asian countries, with a consensus emerging that Vietnam is highly recommended due to its quick and easy visa process, with specific mention of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi as favorable points.

 Yeah, Taiwan hotels have upped in price a lot this year. You can find good, priced Air bnbs or stay in hotels outside central area.

, I can sympathize with that. Another way of looking at it: it’s for far fewer nights and you only have to go there once.

Additionally, think of all the money you saved by not trying to stay here on Muay Thai, ED, pay to volunteer visas. That would run you 35,000฿/year at a minimum.
