Do not over-pack or over-plan, select fewer places to experience instead of zipping about visiting numerous places.
Shun local transportation or communal/ shared transportation - will save money than individual transportation.
Local etiquette and traditions must not be overlooked- nowhere should you visit like temples- modest dresses may be necessary.
Do not just go to eat only in hotels/ tourist-zones, street-food and local eateries are usually cheaper and tastier.
Do not wait until the last minute to check visa / travel-document -check visa regulations, passport, return airline tickets, money.
Do not spend excessively during the high season in hotels and flights, book in advance or travel during low season.
Do not use cash only, but do not use cards only, keep a little local cash in your pocket to go to markets, little vending machines.
Do not plan too much in a day, you need free time, a possibility to adapt to weather conditions or local unforeseen circumstances.
Do not neglect travel-insurance or health/travel safety standards - it is always nice to have a backup in case of accidents or emergencies.
