I have about ~$5000 saved up and plan on backpacking across Vietnam, and maybe Cambodia if I get that far. I don't plan on staying in 5 star hotels and eating at high end restaurants everyday, but is this enough for, say, a month of wandering the country and seeing what kind of wacky adventures I can stumble into?

>Cheap hotel/dorm - $5-20
>Local meal - 50c-$3
>Higher tier/western meal - $5-20
>Beer - 50c-$2
Yes you'll be fine. You will have plenty left over to splurge on fancy accommodation/souvenirs/whatever.
That is enough for a month. Rent a nice scooter and you're good to go. You will find decent hotels for $15 - $20 a night. You could find them for less too, Ive stayed in places for as little as $6/night.
You can eat 3 meals for $5. I found really good pho for $1.60 usd. When I realized how cheap food was I was paying $15/day for good food rather than double portions of street food.
1500$ a month is enough without trying too hard in 90% of the places of the world.
You won't spend more than 4k including everything flights and vaccination etc.

>he thinks the food in Vietnam is good
Yeah, maybe if you're a poor person with no tastebuds. Also it's cheaper and better in Thailand.

Eat delicious food, fuck beautiful women, have fun with loyal friends, probably a lot better than yours.

5k for a month would have you living a straight hotel tourist life the entire time.
You could probably spend 2.5-3 months there pretty comfortably on that.

"Good" in regards to quality of food, not flavor.
