Why "the dollar" and which one? Singapore or Hong Kong dollar?
If one $US = $SG 1.5, then one US dollar will buy you 49 Philippine Pesos, as would also the 1.5 Singapore dollars. If you earn $US 50 per hour or $SG 75 per hour, its the same. Why always "dollar," you make it sound like people want that currency above all else - not true dude! The $US is getting weaker by the day.
49 pesos will get you just as far in Thailand as one US dollar.

Europe would win. Asians don't stick together at home. Only when they were stranded in some other land was when they stuck together like greedy cowards. Theres no democracy in Asia so they have no trust in government taxing them for a military. Too few would accept. Many presidents would be assasinated out of jealousy. Asia = War within it'self. Without Nukes, asians were very close to surrendering everytime. Don't be thinking were bad as heck cuz were not. Russia helped that's why asians were somewhat able to hold on a little. But Russia is also bad guy though. Commi.

Vietnam. The US dollar = 16,000 Vn Dong. Budget hotel with breakfast is $20. Meal on the street around $1. Glass of Beer 20 cents. Transportation on the Train and Bus are also cheap. A great place to visit on a budget. Besides being a very safe country to have a holiday the scenery is out of this world.
Good Luck, Cheers.

The Economist's Big Mac index is based on the theory of purchasing-power parity, under which exchange rates should adjust to equalise the cost of a basket of goods and services, wherever it is bought around the world. The basket is the Big Mac. The cheapest burger is in China, where it costs $1.30, compared with an average American price of $3.15.
SOUTH EAST ASIA:
Singapore 2.20 USD
*Malaysia 1.47
Indonesia 1.54
Thailand 1.51
NOTE: * Although the Economist Big Mac index is a guide, it is not wholly accurate. I have McDonald's promo flyer in front of me now as i write and a Big Mac is priced at Malaysian Ringgit 7.95 (USD 2.21).
From personal experience i still think Thailand/Indonesia/Malaysia stretches the dollar generously, not Singapore.

LAOS.
Vietnam is good too but I will say Laos. Although there is not as much attraction there for tourists (unless you really want to go roughing it) as Vietnam or Thailand
