7 Alluring Places to Visit in Southeast Asia this Year

ข้อมูลby traveltipnets » Mon Jun 15, 2015 8:15 am

So if you’re in Southeast Asia for a decent time, yet not quite a while. Past the significant urban areas – Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Hanoi, et cetera – there are such a variety of charming spots to visit like sanctuaries, remains, pleasant towns and common attractions that it can be tricky to know where to begin. The swarms have been able to everything before you, however rest guaranteed that none of these notable 7 vacation places will abandon you frustrated.

Angkor Archaeological Park, Cambodia
Famous attractions like Rome’s Spanish Steps or The Alamo in Texas often suffer from expectations so inflated that they only ever disappoint. This is not the case with the Temples of Angkor. First of all, the temple complex is so massive that the sheer size of the place is bound to impress. Because of its size, too, tourist hordes are thinned out. They tend to congregate around the main events: Angkor Wat, Bayon and the vine-covered Ta Phrom. The rest of the 400 square kilometres? All yours to discover. And there is much to discover. Generations of Khmer rulers built hundreds of architecturally jaw-dropping temples around the site. One day isn’t nearly enough to see it all.

Temples at Bagan, Myanmar
There are few sunsets in the world that compare to the marigold light of the fading day that settles on the rusty patina of the thousands of temples on the Bagan plains. Unlike the temples at Angkor, Cambodia, the appeal of the Buddhist temples at Bagan lies not in their individual majesty, but rather in the high-density and endless array of similar structures lunging out of the plains. 13,000 temples used to stand in the city of Bagan, the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Pagan. Some 2,000 still remain, and its this spiritual plenitude that makes a trip to Bagan unmissable.

Halong Bay, Vietnam
In the “Bay of Descending Dragons”, a unique karst topography juts out of the sea in and forms some 2,000 limestone islets. These often vertical formations are covered in dense forest. A cruise among the the formations is a magnificent way to spend a few days or more, landing on the islets for further exploration, rock climbing and other activities. Beware the season, though. Monsoons from June through September and again from January to March can limit visibility. In any case, it’s best to take a cruise to the outlying islands, where fewer tourists venture and the natural wonders are less explored.

Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park, Indonesia
Indonesia has temples everywhere you look, and some very impressive ones at that. But if you’ve already been elsewhere in Southeast Asia, by the time you head down the Indonesian archipelago you might be suffering from temple fatigue. Fortunately, Indonesia has plenty else to impress, including stunning unearthly landscapes in its volcanic belt. It is on the Ring of Fire, after all. Mount Bromo in particular is one of the most stunning places on the entire planet to watch a sunrise. It’s full of tourists, yes, but Bromo’s desolately beautiful caldera will leave a lasting impression regardless of who you share it with.

Luang Prabang, Laos
This UNESCO World Heritage site actually comprises an entire city. It’s rare to turn a corner here and not be confronted with remarkable colonial and Lao architecture. Beyond its quiet temples, Luang Prabang might be most famous for its alms procession, a daily morning ritual in which monks clad in saffron robes take donations of food. Outside of town in the surrounding jungle, you can find surprisingly powerful waterfalls, bathing pools and echoing caves. The city’s recently become something of a celebrity haunt. Though that’s not a reason itself to go, it has heralded the arrival of world-class chefs, which means you can have a haute cuisine experience in an entirely unlikely setting.

Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia
The common refrain you hear in promotional material for Mount Kinabalu is that on a good day you can see all the way to the Philippines. Chances are that you won’t see the Philippines from the peak because of frequent fog and rain, but that doesn’t mean you should forget about climbing Borneo’s highest mountain. The ascent is technically straightforward and it’s one of the most accessible mountains in the world. However, it’s still an exhausting excursion up to the 4,095-metre peak. While you’re climbing you might question your sanity, it’s true, but the sensation of accomplishment is unrivaled by any other adventure in SE Asia.

Krabi Province, Thailand
When travellers wax poetic about pristine Thai beaches, they’re usually talking about those found in Krabi Province. Home to some of the best sand and water in the world, it’s no wonder that everyone jets off for Krabi Province. But even with all of the tourists, quiet and secluded islands can still be found. Ko Phi Phi, where the movie The Beach was filmed, is packed with tourist hordes, but Ko Lanta’s equally beautiful long, white-sand beaches are relatively devoid of tourists. If beach lounging isn’t your thing, some of the best SCUBA diving in Southeast Asia can be found on Ko Lanta, and nearby Rai Leh boasts world-renowned rock climbing.

Conclusion:

That’s our list of the 7 alluring places to visit in Southeast Asia. Make sure when you travel to Southeast Asia you attempt to get away from the crowds. We guarantee if you do, you won’t be disappointed. If you know of some off-the-beaten-path places in SE Asia, let us know about it! Travel secrets are meant to be shared.

I totally agree with you with your list! I'm lucky to have a chance to go to Viet Nam. I love Halong Bay. In Viet Nam, there are many beautiful sightseeings such as Da Nang, Nha Trang, Ha noi, Hoi an and Ho Chi Minh city.
