Any countries within ASEAN worth travelling now, forex wise? Thailand seems unfavorable, as 100THB is ~ RM13. Cambodia also cannot, coz they use USD there. Other countries?

Currency appreciation is minor unless you cover all the costs for a group of people.

Not from what I gather. few years ago, THB/ USD was way cheaper, so you get your money's worth. imagine USD4.20 compared to USD3.20, that's an additional USD1 more for the same item you are buying!

if take RM currency as a factor to travel, honestly your not going to go overseas.

that kind of USD appreciation was a history. Can't compare unless you are going there. But your thread mentioned ASEAN countries.

was comparing USD because it is used in Cambodia, one of the countries in ASEAN, lol

Countries can be cheap even if they use high valued currency. Cambodia is for sure cheaper than Japan.

but assuming no changes in inflation, going there this year is more expensive due to forex. so for the same item, you will end up paying more

so cambodia is not an option.
