Southeast Asian Coast

The briefing

Southeast Asia's Andaman and Gulf coasts - from Krabi and Phuket to the Mekong delta and Bali's surf breaks - offer an unmatched combination of tropical beauty, cultural richness, and travel value. Few regions match Southeast Asia for the ratio of wonder to cost. You can sleep well, eat extraordinarily, island-hop by longtail boat, and wake up to limestone cliffs rising from turquoise water - all for a fraction of what comparable experiences cost elsewhere. Season still decides the trip - Thailand and Bali: November - April.

The region rewards the curious traveler. Go beyond the beach strip into the street markets, temple backstreets, and mountain villages and the trip deepens considerably. The coast is the hook; the culture is the reason to stay.
