There are a lot of magnificent places to see around the world, but Southeast Asia remains one of the most popular destinations among tourists and backpackers mainly because of the unique experience that awaits them. If you are either curious or having doubts about spending a holiday in one of the countries within the region then here are some of the reasons why you should consider changing your mind.
Affordable
If you are travelling on a specific budget, you might want to consider visiting Southeast Asia because countries there have lower exchange rates as compared to other regions like Europe and the United States. For example, in Vietnam, you can get a full meal for one to two sterling pounds and decent accommodation for around five to seven sterling pounds a night; not places that can offer a five-star experience, but you can stretch your budget to the max and still be able to enjoy a lot of unique Vietnam travel experiences.
Adventure
What is nice about travelling in Southeast Asia are the tourist destinations that many people are looking forward to seeing. In Cambodia, you can find the massive and breath-taking ancient temple known as the Angkor Wat, while Vietnam is known for its world-famous diving spot which is the Ha Long Bay. Also, you can visit the kingdom of Thailand and feel free to admire their majestic temples and the world-famous Grand Palace known as the official residence of the royal family. Almost every country has something to show off to foreign visitors.
Convenience
Travelling in Southeast Asia is known to be convenient for everyone. Airfares are easy to get at affordable prices, and some countries are interconnected and can easily be explored through land travel. Any tourist can explore Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar by taking multiple bus rides. In the Philippines, you can travel either by land, air or water as you explore the three major islands that are known for their abundant natural resources. Whether you are an amateur or seasoned traveller you can easily find your way around the different countries in Southeast Asia.
Shopping
If you want to find affordable and yet quality stuff, then you should try visiting Bangkok, in Thailand, where you can find all sorts of exciting things you can bring home to your family and friends. Also, locals earn a good living selling one of a kind souvenir items at most tourist attractions. You can contribute to their livelihood by patronising their local products.
Food
If you are a food lover and you love to explore different cuisines, then you should not hesitate to try different Asian food that will fire up your taste buds. The local food in most Asian countries is inspired by different cultures and historical backgrounds that set it apart from Western cuisine. Aside from being affordable, another good thing about eating local Asian food is that it is healthier compared to the typical fast food menu that we are used to.
Do not hesitate to open your doors to Southeast Asia and you will keep coming back for more adventures just like many tourists who cannot get enough of such experiences.
