After two months of traveling around Southeast Asia, a land of more than 40 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Kastalia Medrano, the author of an article published on Thrillist, admits that she cannot avoid the feeling of FOMO (fear of missing out) because there are so many famous and impressive destinations.
11 Southeast Asian countries stand out with diverse landscapes from rainforests, rivers, lakes, ancient temples and modern skyscrapers. The culinary scene here is also extremely diverse from street food to high-class Michelin-starred restaurants.
However, according to Medrano, if each country can only choose one outstanding destination, the list below is a suggestion not to be missed. If such as Kelimutu National Park (Indonesia), Kampong Ayer floating city (Brunei), Kuang Si waterfall (Laos), Tun Sakaran Marine Park (Malaysia), Banaue rice terraces (Philippines), Atauro island (East Timor), Gardens by the Bay (Singapore), Angkor Wat (Cambodia), the ancient capital of Bagan (Myanmar) and Chiang Mai (Thailand) are places suggested by Medrano in other countries, in Vietnam, Lan Ha Bay is named destination.
