INTRODUCTION
From some of the world’s most beautiful beaches to the most exotic and colorful street markets
on the planet, the ASEAN region has a lot to offer. ASEAN proudly presents a beautiful variety of
resources, unique of its own in the world. It is a home to wonderful sites that stand out for their
natural or cultural value, full of super-friendly locals, plentiful nature, lush rainforest mountains,
gigantic falls, deserts, and also colorful coral reefs. It is a deeply spiritual region, and home to
peo-ple of many faiths. It’s no surprise then, that the countries in this region are some of the top
picks for travelers from across the globe.
Wonders of ASEAN is creating a travel magazine to promote all about ASEAN as a tie in with the
same time line as the ASEAN Tourism Forum 2018 hosted on a rotational basis among ASEAN
member countries. The magazine showcases ASEAN’s diverse destinations and richness of
culture, heritage and nature and above all the warmth of ASEAN hospitality.

ASEAN boasts a variety of resources different from elsewhere. It is the land of wonders, full of
su-per-friendly locals, plentiful nature, lush rainforest mountains, gigantic falls, deserts, and also
col-orful coral reefs.
You might not have heard of Borneo’s lowland rainforests so much, but they can be truly experi-
enced. Botanically the area is teeming with diverse wildlife. Though one is likely to be disappointed by
the apparent lack of fauna, the Ulu Temburong National Park can offer you a birds-eye view of the
surrounding forests along the steel Canopy Walkway rising 50 meters from the forest floor to the
level of the highest trees. You can even glimpse tropical poisonous snakes on the treetops.
Angkor Wat
Cambodia
“See Angkor and Die!” became a common phrase among a number of travelers who happened to visit
Angkor, an ancient city in Siem Riab, Cambodia. This temple complex was the center of the Khmer
empire ruling most of Southeast Asia between 802 and 1220 AD. Though the Khmer civiliza-tion went
extinct, its astonishing and enduring architectural achievements have been appreciated by several
generations for centuries. Angkor Wat is, one of the most popular temples, considered the biggest
temple in the whole complex. It was built by King Suryavarman II with several layers over 200 feet high
and features 2,600 feet of bas-reliefs. Like other temples in the complex, Angkor Wat was a place not
for the worship of the kings but rather for the worship of god.
Borobudur
Indonesia
The Borobudur Temple Compounds is a ninth century Buddhist temple complex built on several
levels around a low sculptured hill. Its stupa is a 200-sqm symmetrical monument representing a
Buddhist cosmological model of the universe. Despite looking like a Buddhist structure, the stupa
17
was initially constructed by Hindu builders sometime around 775 AD. There are magnificent
views over the surrounding green rice fields.
Known as the Niagara of Asia and located in Champasak Province on the Mekong River in southern
Laos, Kon Papeng are a series of cascading waterfalls crashing over countless rocks and boast
thou-sands of islands and several waterways. Also, the falls are the largest in volume in Southeast
Asia and home to a small group of rare Irrawaddy dolphins as well as the world’s largest fresh
water fish called the pla-buek, a type of catfish that is on the endangered species list. It is
recommended to visit the falls during the dry season, as the rainy season offers only very fast-
flowing water with un-restrained aggression.
Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 to 104 islands located in the Malaysian state of Kedah, which is
adjacent to the Thai border. A reddish-brown eagle called ‘helang’ (eagle) and “kawi” (reddish
brown) in the Malay language is symbolic of the Island. Don’t miss the 1.4 mile long Langkawi Cable
Car that provides an aerial link to the peak of Gunung Mat Chinchang mountain, where you can
get a great view of Pantai Cenang on the Langkawi Sky Bridge. This is a 125-meter curved
pedestrian cable-stayed bridge hanging at about 100 meters above ground. It swings out over the
landscape to offer visitors breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea.
Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda
Myanmar
Kyaikhtiyo means a golden pagoda in the Burmese language. The pagoda is one of Myanmar’s
most sacred and respected Buddhist sites and located in the northeast of Yangon. What makes this
at-traction superior to other pagodas across the country is that the pagoda is located on top of a
huge golden boulder hanging over a steep cliff. Everyday thousands of people come to the rock to
pay their respect, including the pilgrims who were born in the year of the dog (one of 12 Zodiac
year cycle believed especially by Southeast Asians in Myanmar and Thailand) as the pagoda is
designat-ed for their birth year
Chocolate Hill
The Philippines
The Chocolate Hills are an unusual geological formation found in Bohol, in the Central Visayas re-gion
of the Philippines. There are 1,776 hills spread on an approximate 50 sqkm area. It is believed
18
that the hills were formed from marine limestone on top of a clay layer. They are standing from
30 to 50 meters high and covered with grass the year around, but turn chocolate brown during
the dry season, then turn green during the rainy season.
Locals call it the “Grand Canyon of Siam”. Some have compared it to the surface of the moon be-
cause of a continuous current of rock notched with 3,000 holes, which are called sam-phan-bok in
Thailand’s northeastern or E-saan dialect. As a rock submerged during the rainy season long ago,
that helps to polish and sculpt the cavities. Though it’s a bit difficult to reach this attraction in a
dis-tant corner of Ubon Ratchathani province, you’ll be amazed by this natural wonder and
Mekong River scenery. Best time to visit is around sunrise or sunset, when it’s a bit chilly with a
shimmer of sunlight amid the thousands of holes.
Just 4 hours away from Ho Chi Minh City, Mui Ne is a resort town that spans 15 kilometers along
Vietnam’s southern coast in the city of Phan Thiet, Vietnam. The Mui Ne Sand Dune is the only
de-sert in Vietnam and in the Southeast Asian region. This vast terrain appears to be empty and
dry territory at first glance. But after you’ve found yourself familiar with this place, you may
recognize that the Mui Ne Sand Dune can be regarded as the most exotic place in the region.
There are two sand dunes you can easily access from Mui Ne, namely the Red Sand Dunes and
the White Sand Dunes. The activities you should try here is sliding on the sand, running on
motorcycles or ATVs, etc.

The tired travelling or backpacking route across the Southeast Asian peninsula — Thailand, Cambo-
dia, Laos, and Vietnam — is known in the travel world as the Banana Pancake Trail, so called for
the many stalls selling banana pancakes that are widely sold in the cities along the trail. This route
is popular for a reason. It’s exotic, “tourist-friendly”, and most importantly, cheap, the qualities
that make a destination perfect for both seasoned and newbie backpackers, especially those
traveling alone.
Head for the Banana Pancake Trail to have your solo backpacking debut. It is one of the most un-
forgettable trips to date. For a backpacker, although the region looks, tastes, and sounds different,
it still fosters an atmosphere that made one feel like home. It is no surprise that travellers
returned later that year, and every two years since.

1) Travel Documents
Protect your important travel documents from theft. Copy them in triplicate: passports,
driver's licenses, airline tickets, and traveler's cheques. Staple the photocopies together and
pack each copy in separate locations. Keep the originals in a secure location, like a ho-
21
tel safety deposit box. Alternatively, you can scan your documents and keep the files in
an online storage service, for easy printing when you need them.
While medical supplies are also easy to find in cities, you may want to be absolutely
sure and pack your own – antacids, rehydration sachets, anti-diarrhea pills, analgesics.
If you're bringing prescription drugs, bring the prescription too. Keep your insurance num-
ber handy, just in case. Bring toilet paper for the eventual emergency, and soap or anti-
bacterial gel for use afterwards. Don't forget sunscreen and mosquito repellent. Leave
them behind at your own peril.
3) Electronics
Electrical systems in most Southeast Asian countries use different voltages. Bring a trans-
former or adapter if your electronics don't play nice with the local electricity. Bring extra
batteries and film, in case you go someplace where you can't buy replacement stocks.
4) Extra Luggage
Always a good idea, especially if you're bringing back more stuff than you came in with.
This writer likes to carry a foldable backpack that takes up minimal space when not
needed.
5) More Stuff
You might want to bring one or more of the following items, if you find yourself some
way off from the beaten track.
• Tiny flashlight
• Water bottle/canteen
• Duct tape
• Ziploc bag
• Ear plugs and sleep mask
• Hand sanitizer
• Travelers' First Aid Kit
• Swiss Army Knife
22
• Wet wipes
• Bug spray
• Mosquito repellent lotion
• Sunscreen
• Powdered sport drinks
• Portable water filter
• Solar battery recharger
