Southeast Asia travel guide and Southeast Asia tips

Southeast Asia

This peninsula makes it easy to explore each unique culture and country.

Mist rising from ancient temples in the jungle, rain-soaked colonial towns with rickshaws, dirt-cheap bowls of noodles slurped on tiny stools - plus an endless choice of white-sand beaches and turquoise-blue water. Southeast Asia is no secret, but that doesn't mean you can't find your own piece of paradise. Many first-timers use Bangkok as a hub - with its glittering gold temples, floating markets, and super-spicy food. Looming north and northwest is classic Indochina and great Mekong River travels - through slow-to-stir Laos, Cambodia's Angkor Wat (recently seen in Tomb Raider) and Vietnam's rice paddies and postwar towns busy outgrowing communism. To the northwest is enigmatic Myanmar, which feels like stepping 50 years back (at least). South of Thailand, buses and planes stop off at techno-driven beach parties and wind up in more conservative Malaysia and Singapore. Reachable by ferry to the south are Indonesia's beaches in Bali and the ancient stupas of Borobudur. It takes a flight to reach remote mountain villages and islands of the Philippines. Give it a month, a year -- or longer. Some travelers find jobs and never leave.

Eating

When it comes to food in Southeast Asia it’s hard to know where to begin. In many ways the flavours of the region are a destination in their own right, mingling the freshest produce with nuanced spices and contrasting tastes. And that’s before you bring in the exotic cuisine from outside the region that has played such a big part in developing this eating and drinking spectacle – Chinese, Indian and French cooking have all had a major influence in shaping Southeast Asia’s tastebuds.

Without doubt the most important staple in the region is rice. You will find this everywhere and of varying qualities, textures and colours. Rice is also used to make sweets and Vietnamese fresh spring roll wrappings. Then comes the noodle – a Chinese import but perfect roadside fast food served in wholesome broths topped off with fresh beansprouts, meats and seafood. The chilli also plays a big role, whether in a fresh Isaan/Lao som tam (papaya salad) or in a Penang Indian tandoori, you’ll find it everywhere. Coconuts are also frequently used, with the milk added as flavouring to both Indonesian and Thai curries. While Vietnam is rightly famous for it indigenous cuisine the French influence is pervasive with fresh bread widespread. Some of the best French grub is available in the unlikely Laos capital Vientiane with Cambodian capital Phnom Penh not far behind. The region’s fresh fruit is also incredible – mangos, guavas, pineapples, durian, bananas, all in different varieties, shapes, sizes and textures, dominate.

The trick to enjoying Southeast Asian food is being adventurous – but start slowly and build up. Diving into brain-searingly spicy streetfood on your first day could result in an upset stomach and disrupted travel plans. The best advice for finding good street food is to look for the most popular places, and if you’re vegetarian don’t forget to tell the chef/cook that you don’t want another ubiquitous Southeast Asian staple – fish/shrimp paste/sauce – put in your food.

Drugs

Penalties in Indonesia are harsh – expect a lengthy jail term at least – for trafficking even modest quantities.

Drugs penalties are tough throughout the region with huge fines, prison sentences and even the death penalty a possibility. In a nutshell – don’t buy illicit drugs in Southeast Asia, it is dangerous.

In Cambodia, one of the biggest dangers for travellers who take drugs is dying of an overdose. The backpacker areas near the lake in Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville are particularly notorious for heavy drug usage by Westerners, some of whom have actually died as a result of mistakenly overdosing on heroin. It is important to note that cocaine and ecstasy do not really exist in Cambodia, despite what you may be told. Avoid yaa baa, a particularly insidious amphetamine. It has serious side effects and can be lethal.

There are harsh penalties for drugs use in Laos, ranging from fines through to imprisonment or worse. Police have been known to levy heavy fines on people in Vang Vieng for eating so-called ‘happy’ foods. Note that ‘happy’ food can make some people extremely sick. Though opium has in theory been eradicated it is still for sale in northern areas and people have died from over- dosing. Yaa baa is also available here and should be avoided at all costs.

Narcotics in Singapore are strictly forbidden and trafficking is a capital offence, which is rigorously enforced. Singapore has the highest execution rate per head of population in the world. Passengers arriving from Malaysia by rail may have to march, single-file, past sniffer dogs.

Note that foreigners on buses in Thailand may be searched for drugs. Sentences for possession of illegal drugs vary from a fine or 1 year’s imprisonment for marijuana up to life imprisonment or execution for possession or smuggling of heroin. The death penalty is usually commuted.

Drugs are common in Vietnam and cheap. In such an atmosphere of easy availability and tolerance, many visitors may be tempted to indulge, and to excess, but beware that the end result can be disastrous. Attitudes to traffickers are harsh, although the death penalty is usually reserved for Vietnamese and other Asians whose governments are less likely to kick up a fuss.

Gay and lesbian travellers

In Cambodia, any kind of passionate kissing or sexually orientated affection in public is taboo – both for straight and gay people. The gay scene is just starting to develop but there is definitely a scene in the making. Linga Bar in Siem Reap and the Salt Lounge in Phnom Penh are both gay bars and are excellent choices for a night out.

In Malaysia homosexuality remains a crime. Gay or lesbian sexual activity can be punished with flogging and male transvestism with imprisonment. Police may arrest and harass any gay person (Muslim or non-Muslim) in a public place, so discretion is advised. However, there is a buzzing gay scene in KL and, to a lesser extent, in Johor Bahru, Melaka, Penang, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching.

On the surface, Thailand is incredibly tolerant of homosexuals and lesbians. In Bangkok and other major cities there’s an openness that can make even San Francisco look tame. It is for this reason that Thailand’s gay scene has flourished and, more partic- ularly, has grown in line with international tourism. However, overt public displays of affection are still frowned upon. Attitudes in the more traditional rural areas, particularly the Muslim regions, are far more conser- vative than in the cities. By exercising a degree of cultural sensitivity any visit should be hassle free.

The Vietnamese are tolerant of homo- sexuality. There are no legal restraints for 2 people of the same sex co-habitating in the same room. There are several bars in central HCMC popular with gays. Cruising in dark streets is not advised.

Health risks

The following covers some of the more common risks to travellers in Southeast Asia, but is by no means comprehensive.

Malaria exists across the region. Always check with your doctor or travel clinic for the most up-to-date advice. Note that medicine in developing countries, in particular anti- malarials, may be sub-standard or part of a trade in counterfeit drugs. Malaria can cause death within 24 hrs. It can start as some- thing resembling an attack of flu. You may feel tired, lethargic, headachy, feverish; or more seriously, develop fits, followed by coma and then death. Have a low index of suspicion because it is very easy to write off vague symptoms that may actually be malaria. If you have a temperature, go to a doctor as soon as you can and ask for a malaria test. On your return home if you suffer any of these symptoms, get tested as soon as possible, even if any previous test proved negative; a test could save your life.

The most serious viral disease is dengue fever, which is hard to protect against as the mosquitoes bite throughout the day as well as at night – use insect avoidance methods at all times. Symptoms are similar to malaria and include fever, intense joint pain and a rash. Rest, plenty of fluids and paracetamol is the best treatment.

Each year there is the possibility that avian flu or SARS might rear their ugly heads. Check the news reports. If there is a problem in an area you are due to visit you may be advised to have an ordinary flu shot or to seek expert advice.

There are high rates of HIV in the region, especially among sex workers. The main risk of this and other STIs is from unprotected sex; always use a condom. HIV is widespread, as are chlamydia, herpes, syphilis and gonorrhoea.

Rabies and schistosomiasis (bilharzia, a water-borne parasite) may be a problem. Be aware of the dangers of the bite from any animal. If bitten clean the wound and treat with an iodine-based disinfectant or alcohol. Always seek urgent medical attention even if you have been previously vaccinated.

Bites and stings are rare but if you are bitten by a snake, spider or scorpion, stay as calm as possible, try to identify the culprit and seek medical advice without delay.

Bacterial diseases include tuberculosis (TB) and some causes of traveller’s diarrhoea. Diarrhoea is common but if symptoms persist beyond 2 weeks medical attention should be sought. Also seek medical advice if there is blood in the stools and/or fever. Keep well hydrated (rehydration sachets are invaluable) and eat bland foods. Bacterial diarrhoea is the most common; your GP may prescribe antibiotics for you to take with you. To minimize the chances of diarrhoea be careful with water and food, particularly salads, meat and unpasteurized dairy products. Where possible, watch food being prepared. There is a simple adage that says: wash it, peel it, boil it or forget it.

Typhoid is spread by the insanitary preparation of food. A number of vaccines are available, including one taken orally.

Water should be treated with iodine and filtered. Avoid tap water and ice in drinks. Check seals on bottled water are unbroken.

Take good heed of advice regarding protecting yourself against the sun. Overexposure can lead to sunburn and, in the longer term, skin cancers and premature skin aging. Avoid exposure to the sun by covering exposed skin, wearing a hat and staying out of the sun, particularly between late morning and early afternoon. Apply a high-factor sunscreen and also make sure it screens against UVB. A further danger in tropical climates is heat exhaustion or more seriously heatstroke. This can be avoided by good hydration, which means drinking water past the point of simply quenching thirst. Also when first exposed to tropical heat take time to acclimatize by avoiding strenuous activity in the middle of the day. If you cannot avoid heavy exercise it is also a good idea to increase salt intake.

If you plan to dive make sure you are fit do so. The British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC), Telford’s Quay, South Pier Rd, Ellesmere Port, Cheshire CH65 4FL, UK, T01513-506200, http://www.bsac.com, can put you in touch with doctors who will carry out medical examina-tions. Check that any dive company you use is reputable and has appropriate certifica-tion from BSAC or Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), Unit 7, St Philips Central, Albert Rd, St Philips, Bristol, BS2 OTD, T0117-300 7234, http://www.padi.com.

Getting around

Most travellers will elect to fly between the nations of Southeast Asia as flights are cheap and plentiful. Yet with borders becoming easier to navigate and bus and train services improving, land travel has been growing in popularity. Thailand used to offer the perfect overland conduit for the region yet has decided to take the somewhat myopic decision to restrict overland arrivees to only 15 days of entry – tourist visas applied for before arrival to Thailand will still allow you to stay for two to three months. Local transport details are available in the individual country chapters.

Air

Rail and road

For more details on overland travel around the region see the box on page , or visit http://www.seat61.com.

The most ubiquitous form of transport linking the nations of Southeast Asia is the bus. From Vietnam to Cambodia and Laos there are buses linking Ho Chi Minh with Phnom Penh, Hanoi with Vientiane and Phonsavanh and Da Nang and Hue with Pakse and Savannakhet. From Laos there are bus connections to Thailand from Pakse to Ubon Ratchathani; Vientiane to Udon Thani and Khon Kaen. The road link between Cambodia and Laos at Voen Kham/Doen Kralor (just north of Stung Treng) appears to be open but no regular bus is yet in service. There is also now a train service from Thanaleng, just outside Vientiane direct to Bangkok . From Cambodia there are some overland links to Thailand, but direct services are very limited. It is also possible to cross by sea from Sihanoukville to Hat Lek .

Heading south from Thailand there are extensive land links to Malaysia and onwards to Singapore – the most popular being the train from Bangkok to Fort Butterworth near Penang . From Butterworth there are rail and bus connections to Kuala Lumpur and onwards to Singapore. Most of Thailand’s southern towns, such as Krabi and Trang (and Hat Yai – not included in this book due to travel warnings) offer direct buses to Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

There are two main lines connecting Singapore and Malaysia: one down the west coast from Kuala Lumpur, and another line that runs from Kota Bharu on the northeast coast and down through the centre of Peninsular Malaysia. There are two bridges connecting Singapore with mainland Malaysia. Most traffic uses the 11-km causeway in the north of Singapore Island, which links Woodlands with Johor Bahru. The Tuas ‘Second Link’ in western Singapore can only be used if you have your own transport.

The most luxurious way to travel by train through Malaysia to Singapore and Thailand is aboard the Eastern & Oriental Express (E&O), http://www.orient-express.com. This air-conditioned train carries just 132 passengers and includes a salon car, dining car, bar and observation deck, and runs from Singapore to Bangkok and back. Elegant carriages, fine wines and food designed for European rather than Asian tastes make this not just a mode of transport but an experience. The journey takes two days with stops in Kuala Lumpur, Butterworth, Hua Hin and the River Kwai. The company offers extension packages taking travellers with very deep pockets to Chiang Mai and Vientiane in Laos.

It is also possible to cross overland to and from Brunei via the East Malaysian state of Sarawak. The main crossing points with Sarawak are from Kuala Belait to Kuala Baram , from where there are regular buses to Kuching, and Kuala Lurah to Limbang.

Air

Travelling to Southeast Asia by air offers up some of the cheapest and best connected flying on the planet. Due to high tourist and business demand pretty much every major airline from every major country in the world flies into the region. Yet not every country in Southeast Asia is serviced by long-haul international flights, which means that flying into the hubs of Singapore, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur is often the best option. From these different points on the map a spider’s web of budget and short-haul carriers can then link the traveller to pretty much anywhere of note in the region. Direct flight times into each of these hubs are roughly 12 hours from Europe, 16 hours from the west coast of the USA and eight to 12 hours from Australia and New Zealand . Be aware that, given the current global economic crisis, routes and airlines are appearing and disappearing very fast – we’ve attempted to include what appear to be the safest and most stable regional and international airlines.

Rail, road and sea

The most popular overland route to Asia is by train from Europe via Moscow and the Trans-Siberian Railway. The easiest route is via Beijing where regular services connect the Chinese capital to Hanoi in Vietnam, from where onward transport connects you to the region. You can also travel into Vietnam from China by road at Mong Cai, although if you enter here your visa must specify the exact road crossing.

It is possible to cross from China into Laos at the Mohan border crossing in Yunnan – the Laos town of Boten is just over the over the frontier and Laos visas are available on arrival. The best way to reach Mohan is via Kunming – there are also direct bus services from Kunming and Mohan to Luang Prabang. Kunming can be reached by train direct from Beijing and also by a combination of bus and train from Mongolia. Visit http://www.chinetrain.com for information on train travel in China.

There are three overland crossings into Indonesia. One is at Entikong, which links the East Malaysian city of Kuching in Sarawak with the capital of West Kalimantan, Pontianak. Another is at Motoain between Timor Leste and West Timor. The third is between Vanimo in Papua New Guinea and Sentani in Papua. There are no visa-on-arrival facilities available in any of these places: a visa must be obtained beforehand.

While the days of the oceans being the medium for mass-travel are long gone, it is still possible to arrive in Southeast Asia by boat. Many luxury cruises stop at points in Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia. However, freighter travel offers a more interesting option for visitors to the region with Jakarta, Bangkok and Singapore – and many other minor spots – being visited regularly by cargo ships. Facilities on-board can often match the best luxury cruise ships – cinemas, gyms, swimming pools and good food – and you might only be sharing such facilities with 20 other people. Prices start at roughly US$135 per day including food. One thing worth noting is that freighter ships’ itineraries can change very quickly meaning that you might not end up in the place you thought you would.

For freighters from the USA and Canada contact Maris (T1-800 996 2747, http://www.freightercruises.com) and from Australia and New Zealand try Concierge Travel Group (T02-8270 4899, http://www.freightercruises.com.au) .

One of the reasons for Southeast Asia’s enduring popularity as a travellers’ destination is the affordable and often excellent accommodation. Take Bangkok for instance – some of the best hotels on the planet are located in the Thai capital at rates that, for a similar five-star experience, are far lower than almost every other major city on the planet. Compare this to a friendly, family-run guesthouse in the north of Thailand, where you could stay for almost a month for the price of only one night in top-rated Bangkok hotel, and the depth of what’s on offer quickly becomes apparent.

But there’s much more on offer than the furthest budgetary extremes – homestays in traditional Brunei and Malaysian longhouses; the funky hotels along Phnom Penh’s Sisowath Quay; endless runs of simple huts that line the region’s stunning beaches and the luxury spas of Thailand. There are rooms without windows, electricity or even proper running water all the way through to palace-like suites with eye-popping 35th-floor city views, 200 channel flatscreen TVs, iPods and free chocolates on arrival. You could stay in creaky old colonial villas in Penang, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Sample the luxury of Singapore’s high-end properties or lounge on a sunbed by the infinity pool in tropical Langkawi. Designer hotels, pretentious to the max, or affable families running the absolute bargain of a guesthouse, all squeeze into a picture that offers destinations such as the beaches of Vietnam’s Na Trang, the antique charms of Laos’ Luang Prabang, Cambodian’s awesome Angkor and the deep forests of Indonesia. It doesn’t matter how big or small your budget is – you should always be able to find a place to lay your head in these destinations – and normally a friendly face when you arrive.

In this guide we’ve drawn together the best of what’s on offer and attempted to cover every pocket. Due to space restrictions our listings are not extensive – but most, if not all, of the accommodation printed in this book are the personal picks of our experienced writing team. Of course, places can close at short notice or be sold on to new management dramatically changing the atmosphere and ambience of a hotel or guesthouse – please let us know if any of our listings fall below, or exceed, your expectations.
