Buy bottled water in bulk from local shops rather than hotels (typically 200-300% markup at hotels)
Book accommodation directly with properties rather than through international booking sites to avoid commission fees

Negotiate prices for longer stays at guesthouses and hotels, often 15-25% discounts for week-long bookings
