Wedding favour ideas – South East Asia themed My partner and I are getting married in August of this year and we are struggling to come up with an idea for wedding favours for our guests. We are currently backpacking round SEA (Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines and Singapore) and we really like the idea of incorporating this experience in our wedding to make it more personal a…

Small quaint and quiet beachside villages in Southeast Asia to take elderly Chinese parents? Ideally with Chinese food? My parents are both around 75 and want to get out of China for a little bit. I’ve lived and traveled around SEA but what I look for and have experienced is polar opposite of what they want. They don’t really do much, so no fishing, swimming, hiking, museums, tours, etc. No cities, noise, or bustling streets. And they only eat Chinese food. If no…

We’ve always loved Thailand but really would like to avoid huge crowds of instagrammers (if you get me!), and anywhere that’s more seedy.

Air Asia or Batik for flights around Asia I am trying to plan flights around Asia, between Tokyo, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur and a lot of the more affordable (and frequent) flights seems to be air Asia and batik. I have read terrible things about both and I’m wondering if they’re really that bad or if one is worse than the other? I’d really appreciate some feedback. submitted by /…

SE Asia and Air pollution in Dec / Jan We understand that big cities are likely to be the one with high pollution. We are not working so reliable infrastructure is not primary. So what are the locations/within country regions in SE Asia that one would recommend for Dec / Jan that are not smoky / polluted at a country level i.e. one would be fine outside the big cities. For example do…

Southeast Asia Hey all, I am planning a vacation to SE East Asia for about 16 nights. Is this enough time to see Singapore, do a 4-day live aboard scuba trip in Thailand (which would leave from Bangkok), see Bangkok for 1-2 days, Angkor Wat, and Da Nan? I think it would be something like: Singapore – 3 nights Scuba – 4 nights Bangkok – 2 nights Angkor Wat – …

Group Tours in Uzbekistan and Central Asia Can anyone recommend a group tour in Uzbekistan or Central Asia in general? I’m tired of traveling solo so specifically want to join a group. I’ve reached out to a couple of local tour companies and while group tours are advertised they are both pushing a private tour since I don’t already have a group formed. I’m considering G-Adventures becau…

6 Months, 19 Countries, Asia Trip Report Just spent 6 months traveling around Asia (with a quick detour to AUS/NZ) and wanted to share an overall trip report. We had some incredible highlights and some lowlights, as you’d expect. Going to give a ranking (both of our scores averaged) for both the country overall and for food specifically, since that’s of a lot of interest to us – as wel…

Do I need to provide proof of onward travel when backpacking in SE Asia? So, I’m about to embark on a backpacking trip throughout SE Asia, starting in Thailand. The only thing I am a bit unsure about is whether I need to provide (POOT) “proof of onward travel”/ a return ticket. From what I have read in previous threads here and there, it looks like it varies a lot, and that it is the airline itself that asks and ther…

Suggestions for a 2-3 day stopover in South East Asia So basically I need to be in Manila on March 19 but I can start my holiday already on March 14 or 15. I thought it might be a good idea to stop somewhere else close by for those first couple of days (I will be flying from Europe so travelling east I would arrive the following day). Somewhere like Hong Kong, Taipei, or even Shanghai even if it’s…

If you were tasked to book accommodation for 5 people in South East Asia, which site would you use? There are 5 of us travelling to Hanoi, Laos (Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng) and Bangkok Thailand. What’s the best way to book reservation in advance? When I solo travel, l use booking. com and never had a problem but I know it has some issues so l don’t want to risk getting overbooked and we can’t stay for the night. We are also on a budget but s…
