Are you looking for costs for all countries? I'll just comment on a couple of specific prices in Vietnam as I'm sure others will be more up to date on prices elseswhere.

Large or small beer from traveller restaurant/bar/shop - Small bottle of local beer around $1, large bottle about $1.50, large draft around $2. Cans are about 50c from a shop.
Vodka/whiskey bucket - can't be too specific here as I live in Hanoi and have never seen buckets being sold! But in Mui Ne we paid around $8-10.
Bottle of vodka/sangsom - Vodka Hanoi is about $2.50 for a 75cl bottle and around $1.50 for a small bottle
Rice/noodle dish - on the street, between 75cents and $1.50. In a cheap basic restaurant around $1.50 - $2.
Average beach hut accomodation - nothing fancy like aircon - I've only seen beach hut type places in Mui Ne and they were about $10.
City guesthouse - again nothing fancy - it so depends on your requirements. I'd say you can get something reasonable for $15 but you can also get cheaper, basic, places and for a little bit more can get a lot for your money.



Overall, when travelling last year, we stayed in reasonable places, ate well and drank a lot of beer and spent around $50-60 between the two of us per day in each of the countries you list (definitely the lower end of that spectrum Laos and higher in Cambodia - but we only went to PP and SR).

That's from a shop or a local street place - it'd be more in a karaoke bar or somewhere like that. Yup bia hoi is around 4,000 VND a glass (20 cents). You can get a lot of those for your daily budget!
