What part of Asia would you spend 2 weeks in?

( www.reddit.com )

What part of Asia would you spend 2 weeks in? I’m from Europe and I want to travel 2 weeks in May 2024 through South East Asia (first time outside Europe). Would like to avoid multiple plane flights because in case they get cancelled, my budget isn’t too permissive to buy last minute flights. That’s why I considered Vietnam from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi, but seems like the distance between the …

From all my travels, I encountered more bed bugs in the west than in Asia somehow? With all the Paris bed bugs news going around, I got into thinking that: out of all the countries I’ve been to, I almost always encounter bedbugs in US & Europe. My mother has been a flight attendant for almost 20 years so my family is well-travelled. We’ve been to 80+ countries. The countries where I saw/got bitten by bed bugs were: USA, Canada…

Is SE Asia still worth doing if I’m only planning to go for food/chill in the city?

( www.reddit.com )

Is SE Asia still worth doing if I’m only planning to go for food/chill in the city? I travel mainly for food. When I go travelling by myself I prefer to do city breaks – do a bit of sightseeing, but mainly to gorge on the local cuisine. I would love to do South East Asia because I know the food will be incredible. However from doing research, it seems like SEA is not really that great for city breaks – lots of traffic, pollutio…
