Where to see in South East Asia?
I would like to see the following countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Papua New Guinea.
Where are the best places to see in those countries? Also if someone could recommend a good route (in which order) I could see these countries? Papua New Guinea will probably be the last place I see as I will be travelling around in Australia afterwards and will be starting in Carins. Any suggestions will be appreciated. I am not interested in beaches, more the main tourist attractions
Indonesia - Only Bali - It is beautiful - I stayed in Legian - very very nice. Kuta Beach is a bit over developed. Recommend Bintang Beer and Nasi Goreng. Very laid back - Lots of Japanese and Australians.
Laos - Was in Vientiane - very nice - try to time it with a buddhist religious festival - as there are processions and it is very colourful and nice. I've heard Luang Prabang is very nice too - World heritage sight. Very Cheap and people are very friendly.
Cambodia - Siem Reap is great. Angkor Wat Temples are so beautiful. Phnomh Penh is not very beautiful and run-down.
Vietnam - Hanoi was very nice - Very Cultural. HCMC (saigon) is busier and bigger. The traffic was crazy - just keep moving when you cross the road!!
Malaysia - was in KL - not really worth a visit - maybe just for a stopover. Take the train to the airport from central station.
Heard Langkawi is very nice to visit.
Thailand - Bangkok, Krabi and Chiang Mai. Phuket was a bit seedy.
I hope you have a great time - you can get lots of Cheap Flights from Bangkok (500 baht) to the airport from Thanon Sukhumvit. I usually stay at around soi 11 - - Its a great Location.
