Trips in southeast Asia

Summer Holiday this winter in Southeast Asia

Along the equator several parameters come together with modern travelers and tourists like.

In our southeast Asia website we start with Thailand including great pictures. This ASEAN country is one of the best tropical vacation spots on the globe the beautiful large pictures are convincing. Along the equator is the right place to hang around for a while and have some fun either for a short break or maybe for retirement driving is no problem too. Also the highways are no much different to countries in the Americas the best roads are for sure in Thailand although most surfaces are broken.

Life is easy going and around is almost endless summer with tropical beaches and a vibrant nightlife in Thailand plus Cambodia and the Philippines. Life is low priced (except Singapore) and the food is excellent in most places the infrastructure is working and a foreigner feels home quick when southeast Asia travel is on the agenda. This is part of backbacking Asia with the bus ship and budget airlines .

In ASEAN countries such as Cambodia, you get a taste of easy living like on the Côte d'Azur some decades ago. The area is not only ideal for vacation but also for long term stay and retirement actually in Malaysia the government is promoting this with a good legal framework which has pulled many foreigners for retirement to places like Penang Island.

If you want an active live with women the best is probably Thailand and Cambodia but Myanmar is also slowly matching. The former Burma is even offering the Myanmar Himalayas with 6000m high mountains including snow and glaciers and an alpine climate but the roads are very bad so driving is not an option see the map.

Now in the time of low-cost flights, it's easy to move around. The ASEAN countries are even talking to issue one visa valid for all of them which would make traveling even easier. But until now they are (as usual) only talking. Other great driving trips could be made just the map at right.

Travel in Thailand with the aircraft car bus train motorbike and other. Maybe book a package tour or contact a travel agent and a day after you hit the road maybe to the beaches of the south or east.

Explore the national parks often with gigantic reservoirs with floating houses. The Bridge over the River Kwai is still an attraction for many travelers since it wakes up memories. Go shopping in Bangkok and enjoy the bizarre nightlife and great food there is lots to see and do Thailand is a very easy going place.

Indonesia and Bali outnumber any other state in ASEAN by population and is an extremely diverse environment because of the countless islands. Here is a convincing example Bali nightlife . But from time to time problem erupt because the main population is of Muslim religion and not all minorities can handle them.

Singapore has the highest living standard in ASEAN together with Brunei but this is also on the expenses of the countries around where most rich people use the island state as a safe haven. Top visits are Orchid Garden plus

Jurong Bird park (great for kids) and Clarke Quay in the evening.

Myanmar (Burma) is the rising star on the tourism horizon in the region and there is a good reason for. A great Buddhist country with everything tourists like, from the 6000 m high Himalaya glaciers to the tropical beaches of the Andaman Sea and the Shan State highlands with a climate like western Europe. The Irrawaddy River Tour.

Holiday in Myanmar are definitely worth it his is a particular diverse ASEA country with about 130 tribes and community variants.

The Philippines and especially Mindanao are a Christian fortress in this part of the world the problem is they are Catholics and the Vatican tell "no birth control". Unfortunately, the people take the nonsense the Vatican preach seriously which directly leads into a disaster due to extreme overpopulation. This is why most parts of the country are extremely poor since there are too many people and the catholic clerics are responsible for this.

No, they don't make the babies by themselves but they tell them to make them as it is visible southeast Asia is very diverse by any means.

A trip to Cambodia opens the view to Angkor Wat and Thom with Phnom Pen in the center and the beaches on the South China Sea. Although Cambodia is in the ASEAN community most people still need a visa to travel there. But travel is easy just take a flight by Air Asia out of Bangkok Kuala Lumpur or by Tiger Airways from Changi Airport in Singapore and have fun with vacation travel. This could also work as a road trip from Malaysia and Myanmar via Bangkok.

The South China Sea is focused on by the Chinese but the red emperor hasn't indulged the message yet that the Emperors Dynasty has gone since a long time and medieval times faded away.

The ocean simply doesn’t belong to the communists of today. This part of the world belongs to the Philippines Vietnamese Malaysians Indonesians Brunei Cambodia and partly China.

Southeast Asia & ASEAN Photos at Night

Nights in Bangkok or Manila maybe Kuala Lumpur or Yangon are legend.

With exotic young women where the tourists get a real kick and it won't matter if they are male or female and even both in one.

Every combination is possible and local people take it phlegmatic because here around they have seen all that in the open without thinking much about it everyone can get it his or her way.

ASEAN beach scenes

Photos

Countless beaches are on the islands and the coasts.

They are probably the reasons why many holidaymakers choose the region for their most precious time of the year. Some of this waterfronts are definitely among the best on this planet and most could be made via a short driving and boating trip.

Here you will find breathtaking pictures of beautiful seafronts and be sure not every beach looks the same, there are many variants the most attractive probably are where light yellow sand blends with huge limestone boulder and gravel waterfronts are rather rare. Anyway, almost everyone welcomes you.

ASEAN Style

Fashion Photos

The fashion in southeast Asia is very diverse and vibrant with native elements and new ideas but since a few years China offload cheap goods into the region makes women in Jakarta appear the same as in Bangkok quite different is northern Myanmar style.

The Chinese carry their fake goods by trucks through Laos, Thailand, and Malaysia into the whole region. The mini skirt took over several years ago which is not an easy stuff considering the extremely conservative Muslim and Buddhist societies .

But the fact is this day that pretty women in Manila show no difference to their counterparts in the "Sungei Wang Mall" in Kuala Lumpur and elsewhere. Some exceptions still just have a look at this Myanmar girl from the Chin State in former Burma .

Myanmar Icy Snow Mountains

When visiting southeast Asia icy mountains with large glaciers and everything needed for a cold natural outdoor environment can be experienced.

They are located in the north of Myanmar (Burma) in Kachin State at the border to China and India the eastern extension of the Tibetan Himalaya.

Local and red Chinese cut all possible trees and sell the coniferous logs they poached here even to Korea all this criminal stuff is made by road trips via China. In general take a guide for the relevant southeast Asian area with you.

They partly destruct the nature in north Myanmar with their hit and run business for quick cash legal or illegal they just don't care just bribing their way through. Since their government imposed a logging ban some years ago they moved to other countries such as Myanmar (Burma) and Laos and keep on destructing the nature there.

Unfortunately, there is far too much nature destruction going on in the ASEAN countries. As visible every tourist travel theme is available in southeast Asia.

The countries are clustered around the equator which makes the environment somehow similar everywhere but the people for sure different.

Southeast Asia travel videos and photos

Here is southeast Asia visualization by videos and photos to illustrate this better for a good understanding.

Beside of great food and exotic scenery such as attractive rivers, lakes, and amazing people, the idea is to feel good and nobody won't bother you.

On the other side, people are very careless in particular on the road where every year on the weekend such as at Songkran (Local New Year) having around 400 fatalities within one week mainly because of carelessness and drink & drive on large scale in Thailand e.g.

Be very carful with Honda read below why

Renting Cars and Motorbikes / Scooters

When traveling sooner or later the question comes up what vehicle to rent and there are no much choices its either a car or a motorbike.

If a car is to expensive (starting around $ 50,- / day at local rental companies) with full insurance after some negotiation) have a look for a motorbike or scooter for around $ 6,- without any insurance.

There are many available but it needs to think before since most companies rent out Honda but be careful with this. Why? Honda scooters have not ABS Yamaha e.g. have what makes the difference? The lack at Honda makes it very accident prone because usually the renter (you) are not much experienced with a scooter so without a ABS the probability to front wheel slide is much higher and that means accident which could easely get fatal and unfortunately Hoda wont care about the safety of the rider because they have it but they wont fix it into their scooters as Yamaha do and that is an extremly careless attidute and clearly show that a users live means nothing to Honda.

So keep that in mind and always first search for scooter rental with Yamaha bikes because you only have one life. An example on Phuket Island in Thailand ther are every year around 100.000 road accidents and most are with scooters.

Nevertheless, there are a couple of interesting routes e.g. from Chiang Mai to Bangkok. From here to Cambodia either direct to Siem Reap & Angkor Wat and further southeast to Phnom Penh or via Trat (Ko Chang) to Koh Kong and the capital through the Cardamon Mountains and Sri Ambel and much more in South East Asia countries here is a guide.
