<\/span><\/h2>\nWe usually buy a SIM card with data whenever we travel, so we have internet everywhere and aren’t always reliant on WiFi. It makes traveling much easier, especially when you need to quickly look up something or determine your route.<\/p>\n
In the Philippines, there are various providers offering prepaid data bundles. We chose Smart Communications and paid 35 euros per person<\/strong> for unlimited data for 30 days.<\/p>\nTip: If you don’t immediately need internet, consider buying the SIM card later on the islands instead of at the airport. It can be cheaper that way.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/span>Daily Budget for a Philippines Trip<\/span><\/h2>\nWhen we add up all the expenses, excluding the costs of flights to the Philippines but including in-country transportation, we spent approximately 1,500 euros per person for 21 days. This comes out to around 75 euros per person per day<\/strong>.<\/p>\nDepending on the level of luxury you desire for accommodations and restaurants, you can set a budget between 60 euro and 100 euro per person per day. This budget allows you to enjoy food and drinks, (expensive) activities, like the expedition from Coron to El Nido (or vise versa), attractions, and accommodations without constraints. <\/strong><\/p>\nIf you primarily stay in hostels, don’t go diving, skip the expedition, use public transportation, and don’t eat out three times a day, you could comfortably manage with 40 or 50 euro per day.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
