What can Tk. 500 get you around the world?

If you plan on travelling on a skimpy wallet, it is good to have an idea of how the Bangladeshi Taka is perceived in
other countries. For starters, how much is Tk. 500 actually worth when you are travelling

Managing money is always hard, even harder when you are travelling. But a little bit of financial foresight
can help you make the most of what money you have when travelling abroad. There are more or less 180
currencies in the world. The value of the Bangladeshi currency is low compared to a vast range of currencies
out there. However, the Taka is stronger than several currencies in the world. So if you know where your
money is treated like the USD in BD, you are set to win.

Cambodia

Cambodia is one of the Southeast Asian nations where Bangladeshis can feel rich. One Taka is equal to 47.82 Cambodian Riel. Public transportation could be little higher but it would get you to places. In Cambodia one-way ticket for local transportation is Tk. 160 ($2). If you are travelling with friends or family, you can dine at an affordable restaurant for Tk. 251. Cambodian street food is very inexpensive as well. Tourists attractions are little pricey and Tk. 500 can get you inside the War Museum.

Vietnam

Vietnam is little costly compared to Bangladesh, yet with Tk. 500, one can buy a few things there specially in Ho Chi Minh City. One Taka is equals to 269.85 VND. In Vietnam two persons can dine in with Tk. 200 at a midrange restaurant. Domestic beer is Tk. 250 ($2.94). Soft drinks cost Tk. 26.43 ($0.31). Karaoke and Billiards cost there Tk. 202 and Tk. 185 ($2.4 to $2.2) respectively. You can get mud baths for Tk. 109 ($1.3).

Vietnam

Nepal

Nepal is a beautiful country and offers beautiful landscapes for the tourists. Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital is set in a valley surrounded by the Himalayas. One Nepalese Rupee is equal to Tk. 0.77. In Nepal, you can buy one- way local public transportation tickets with Tk. 30 ($0.35). Tennis court rents on weekend at Tk. 150 per hour. Food in Nepal is pretty cheap as well. Garlic soup costs Tk. 80 or $1. Foods like momos, noodles and other local items cost around Tk. 80 to 90 ($1). You can get pizza with Tk. 321 ($3.88).

South Korea

If you are tight on budget and plan of visiting South Korea, probably it is not a good idea. The East Asian country is slightly high-priced for us. One Taka equals KRW13.23. You have to spend more than Tk. 500 to dine in at an inexpensive restaurant in South Korea. Combo meals at McDonald’s cost around Tk. 452 ($5.32$) while regular cappuccino is Tk. 338 taka ($3.98). You can get small snacks like chips, or a Snickers bar in local supermarkets worth Tk. 80 ($1).You can pay a visit to the TV tower of Busan with Tk. 397 ($4.7).
