Six Asian wonders uncovered – 11Aug25

Traveling has become so popular these days that it’s getting harder and harder to find a place you can visit that’s not crowded with tourists. People are inclined to travel because airline companies are almost always offering tickets on sale, and hotels are also slashing their accommodation prices. Popular shows on TV such as Globe Trekker (formerly Lonely Planet), and No Reservations all the more entice people to get off the couch, pack their belongings, and head off to some distant country.

In recent years, picking a destination and finding a way to get there is the easy part of going on a vacation. The hard part is getting away from the crowd and immersing your self in a place that hasn’t yet turned into a commercial establishment. Let’s face it, popular tourist attractions in major countries around the globe will always grab our attention, but somehow the long lines and hordes of other tourists manage to make the experience a bit less special.
Today, we’ll be giving you six destinations all the way in Southeast Asia so you can start planning your itinerary and head off to another fun filled adventure. Don’t worry because we’ve made sure that these places are worth your time, money and trouble. Granted, some of these places may be a bit off course, but with all they have to offer, you might even be inclined to come back for more.

DESTINATION: KAMPOT, CAMBODIA
IDEAL TIME TO VISIT: The months of November all the way through March is the best time to go to Kampot.
WHERE SHOULD YOU STAY? In Kampot, book yourselves at the Rikitikitavi Hotel. Although the rooms at this hotel are modestly furnished, they are very comfortable to stay in and are quite clean as well. The hotel also has a restaurant, so you don’t have to bother about finding a good place to eat in while you’re here. Also, the place has free wifi so you can set up your laptop and check your email or update plane reservations.
HOW TO GET THERE: Kampot is located a good 100 miles away from Phnom Penh, where your plane is set to land. From there, you can either make the journey on a public bus or take a cab. For weary travelers, we recommend spending your money on the private taxi because the journey by bus usually takes over five grueling hours—you don’t want to start your vacation off on the wrong foot.

DESTINATION: CON DAO, VIETNAM
IDEAL TIME TO VISIT: If you want to go diving in Con Dao, the most ideal time to be in the water is from March all the way through September. From November all the way through February, the weather is dry throughout the area.
WHERE SHOULD YOU STAY? If you’re planning your trip right now, a good place to book yourselves in would be the ATC Hotel. This hotel was built back in 1929 and is a single storey villa with four rooms. In the latter part of 2010, Six Senses will also open a villa at Con Dao; so if you’re not leaving right away, you might consider this as an alternative accommodation.
HOW TO GET THERE: The airport in Ho Chi Minh City is the usual destination of flights from major cities around the world. From here, you’ll have to board another flight that will take you to Con Dao. The trip takes only 45 minutes, and Vietnam Air Services offers flights six days out of the whole week
ABOUT CON DAO: This is an ideal vacation spot for those people who simply want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Much of Con Dao is still not developed even today, thanks to the local guidelines that actually limit the development being done in the area. Because of this, visitors can expect to get close to nature and see its beauty up close and unspoiled.

A major part of Con Dao (roughly 80 percent) is a national park, and it is absolutely teeming with life. The mountains are home to various species of flora and fauna that are hardly a common sight in concrete jungles that are becoming more and more common today. All around you, the water is clear and pristine; venture beneath the surface and you will find coral species by the hundreds. You can also expect to see colorful fish darting here and there, with the occasional turtle wading about in slow motion. If you’re lucky, you might even come across a dugong, or what is otherwise known as a sea cow.

DESTINATION: LAKE INLE, MYANMAR
IDEAL TIME TO VISIT: The month of October signals the celebration of the Pagoda Festival in Myanmar. If you want to take part in the festivities, consider booking a flight here from October 9 up to 26. For the festival, villagers living in surrounding towns all congregate at the lake for a lineup of activities like rowing races.
WHERE SHOULD YOU STAY? If you’re looking for accommodation near the lake, you can check out the Inle Princess Resort and see if their fancy rooms are up to your liking. Their bungalows give guests a good view of the lake and ensure you a relaxing stay while you’re here.
HOW TO GET THERE: From Yangon, travelers will have to board a plane and make the one hour trip to Heho.
ABOUT LAKE INLE: For a truly unique experience, how about trading in office buildings for temples and concrete pavements for watery pathways? If that sounds like a cool idea to you and fellow travelers, then stop dilly dallying and get on a plane headed to Lake Inle in Myanmar. The best way to acquaint your self with the area is to hire a canoe and explore the different gardens and temples that you will find serenely floating on the lake’s surface. There are a couple of tourist attractions here like the monastery and silk shop, but you won’t really miss anything if you skip these places. We recommend paddling your way around the lake and visiting the villages built on stilts. You can also check out the local outdoor market and observe as the skillful fishermen make their way in these waters. For a short excursion on dry land, you can go hiking in the nearby hills accompanied by a local guide from town.

DESTINATION: KUCHING, BORNEO
IDEAL TIME TO VISIT: The rainy season in Kuching starts from the month of November all the way through March. This place is situated quite near the equator, so you can expect the local temperatures to be somewhere between 70 and 80 throughout the year.
WHERE SHOULD YOU STAY? If you want accommodation with a good view of the river, book a room at one of the higher floors of the Hilton Kuching.
HOW TO GET THERE: Flights to Kuching usually depart from the country’s capital of Malaysia. You can choose to fly there with the local carrier Malaysian Airlines; or you can also book a plane ticket with Air Asia.
ABOUT KUCHING: If you’re a traveler new to Asia, you probably haven’t heard of Kuching, Borneo. If you think that Borneo is a teeny tiny island inhabited by cannibals armed with blowpipes, you cannot be more wrong; to tell you the truth, Kuching is actually one of the considered to be among the most beautiful, elegant, and neat cities that you can find in Asia.
This place is actually home to a mixture of different cultures resulting in a unique local atmosphere. A number of local tribes make up the population of Kuching that has adopted the Malaysian form of administration. The locals took after the Chinese when it comes to doing business, and the British influence here can be seen in their architecture. Travelers who are not too keen on mingling with groups of other tourists can take comfort in the fact that few tourists actually make their way here. If you want to look around, you can navigate your way around the mangroves in the river by boat; you can also visit the orangutans in the reserve, or enjoy your solitude in on of the local beaches.

DESTINATION: TANA TORAJA, INDONESIA
IDEAL TIME TO VISIT: The best time to schedule a vacation in Tana Tojara is during the months of July and also August.
WHERE SHOULD YOU STAY? Booking a room at the Toraja Heritage Hotel will guarantee you comfortable quarters during your stay. As an added bonus, you can always take a dip in their big swimming pool after a day’s worth of sightseeing.
HOW TO GET THERE: From Makassar city located in Sulawesi, you can make the journey by road to Tana Toraja. Travelers who don’t know the way and have no access to any vehicles can have transportation arrangements by signing up with Southeast Asia Tours.
ABOUT TANA TORAJA: This place is a good alternative to travelers who feel that they’ve been to Bali one too many times already. The nearest airport to Tana Toraja can be reached by an eight hour journey by road, so expect this destination to be quite isolated. This place is rich in natural wonders that will take your breath away. Cultural traditions are also very much alive here today. A trip to Tana Toraja will reward travelers with an up close view of cave graves; thousands more graves can be found off the side of the cliff.
In the latter part of the summer, you can watch the locals participate in funeral ceremonies. It is customary for the local people called the Torajans to wait until the harvesting season for rice is over before they bury their dead relatives. These ceremonies usually last for about several days, but are open to curious outsiders. If you do decide to participate in one, make sure you bring along with you a small gift such as a sacrificial buffalo or perhaps a pack of cigarettes.

DESTINATION: KOH YAO NOI, THAILAND
IDEAL TIME TO VISIT: If you want to visit Thailand during its dry months, the ideal time to set your itinerary is from the months of December all the way through March.
WHERE SHOULD YOU STAY? Getting a room with a view is no problem if you’re going to Koh Yao Noi. The Six Senses Hideaway Hotel has rooms that offer a scenic view of the bay.
HOW TO GET THERE: After your flight lands in Phuket, you can catch a ferry from the Ban Rong Pier to get to Koh Yao Noi. The trip across the river won’t usually take more than an hour.
ABOUT: If you want a truly laid back Asian vacation destination where tourists are few and far between, then you’ll definitely have fun at Koh Yao Noi. The reason for the lack of tourists in this area is because the beaches here don’t have the white, sugary sand that a lot of people usually look for in beach destinations. If the color of the grains don’t make any difference to you at all, then by all means, continue with your planned visit here. There are quite a few locals residing here (local head count is about 5,000) and most of them make a living through fishing. Visitors staying here can relax all day in a hammock and snore their cares away. When you get hungry, you can feast on all the seafood that you want. You can also explore the area and visit the rubber tree plantation and the Khao Tapu, which got worldwide recognition in the James Bond movie. At night, you don’t have to worry about loud music from night clubs blasting through the airwaves. When the sun has set, the local men usually play checkers beneath casuarinas trees using bottle caps as pieces.
