Has anyone seen a noticeable change in the value of the dollar in places like Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka? I created a budget about three months ago for a one year trip and I’m worried that my money will not last the year.

Japan is by far the most expensive place on that list. The rest are still cheap

Just in Japan - expensive relative to the Philippines for sure but dollar still goes far. Some sit down meals were as low as $10 pp

Not on your list but maybe worth considering a trip to Cambodia. Even if the currency fluctuates, the local places will accept $1 to 4000 KMR and in my experience are very slow to change that rate (ATMs obviously aren't). I think Laos is similar.

Obviously that won't cover the loss in the strength of USD elsewhere for that long but might help a bit.
