There is so much to explore of this region. If you like architecture, this is a fantastic place to be. The Asian continent is spattered with astounding relics, so you will get amazed by architectonic masterpieces.

But not only has Southeast Asia superb ancient ruins from other times. This gorgeous region of the world also boasts ultra modern cities with phenomenal skyscrapers and a vibrant nightlife,  offering  something to a wide range of visitors.

It is really a world of travel opportunities, and the best part is that’s still a bargain in comparison to other tourist destinations. Whether you are a backpacker, lonely traveler, or a more conventional tourist looking for somewhat prefabricated tours, Southeast asia will exceed all the expectations, so just imagine for a second to be able to experience the magic of several places aboard of a cruise ship’s comfort.

Life aboard a cruise ship is sweet, and can be highly exciting, full of  activities to keep passengers busy. People can gamble a small bit in the casinos, delight in professional shows, and dance until the small hours in the nightclubs. Moreover the service and quality of cruise ship restaurants is usually exceptional, and walking around the decks in the sunsets and moonlights is nearly a must.

Royal Caribbean , Princess, Holland America, Carnival and Costa, are some of the best cruise lines that will take you through a surpassing trip allowing you to live out the best sensations of your life, and the fantastic thing is that  grabbing this opportunity is now simpler than ever.

1. VISA-vis: visa reminders

Very vital! Southeast Asia is certainly one of the most backpacker-friendly destinations for the inexperienced traveller mainly because of cost, proximity of the countries, and, hey, entry is not such a complex thing either. For U.S. citizens, countries in SEA can and will be traversed without the necessity for visas for a certain period of time like Malaysia -90 days, Singapore-30 days, Thailand – 30 days, and Philippines – 21 days. For Laos, Cambodia, and Indonesia, visas-on-arrival are issued in the airport without hassle for fees no more than US depending, of course, on your plotted length of stay.

Most backpackers commence their SEA journey in BANGKOK, which, along with MANILA, are strategic places where the traveller can apply for visas to anywhere in the Southeast Asia. Some prefer a business visa that does make travel simpler because of its stretched validity and multiple entry access, which is excellent for a year’s worth of stay in SEA. But leave this for the seasoned backpacker. For a two month stint, a tourist visa will work super fine.

Visa regulations are recurrently updated depending on foreign and political situations, so watch out for extra requirements like exchanging at least US0 to MMK in Burma. But don’t be intimidated. Check the State Department website for up-to-date information on visa and travel, or, when all else fails, seek advice from a credible travel agency such as Liberty Travel.

2. SURE TRAVEL: Insurance policy coverage

The SEA region remains entirely unpredictable when it comes to health and property theft incidences. Hence, as a student, you may want to organize and buy a comprehensive travel insurance and screen what circumstances are covered and not covered by the policy, like medical evacuation. Save for Thailand and Manila, a huge bulk of hospitals in the SEA is not equipped for anything beyond First Aid remedies. It may get quite hideous, say, when an accident happens while tubing in Vang Vieng, and even uglier when your medical coverage, you find, cannot accommodate evacuation to Bangkok or does not extend to accidents from “extreme sports”.

These are decisions that matter, decisions that can save your life. So talk with your insurance provider, know the limits, keep receipts of your valuables, and make copies of your insurance policy to leave at home. When the inevitable does happen, don’t forget to file and buy a copy of the police reports, and always make accessible your insurance provider’s 24-hour emergency number accordingly before paying for whatever medical services.

3. FARE WELL: Airfare deals

When that’s set, plot for your air transport. You’d want to get the best deal without compromising comfort. Not to be too patronizing, but a 12-hour flight to a faraway land and the entertainment system breaks down on you is outright injustice. Go for an airline with a “decent” track record. But before finalizing your booking, check your agent or airline representative for special offers when booking before purchasing your ticket

Some airlines have an “ALL ASIA PASS” like CX or “ASEAN PASS” like Thai Airways and Malaysian Airlines. Cathay’s All Asia Pass is a roundtrip promo available for U.S. residents flying from L.A., San Francisco, or New York to Hong Kong then to at least 2 basic cities of your choice. Prices are subject to change, but the figures for 2010 travel start at US$ 1599, inclusive of the roundtrip USA fare. Even better, is Thai Air’s ASEAN PASS which I heard go by a coupon per flight which have incredible cut-rate prices which go as low as US for each coupon (minimum of 3 and maximum of 6 coupons). MAS’ ASEAN PASS is excellent for 4 flights to Southeast Asian major cities for a charming price of US2.

For these, you will need them issued at the same time as your international flight ticket, so plotting is of the essence. Check www.cathayusa.com or www.thaiar.com for details and updates.

4. BOOK your NOOK: Lodging reservations

You know, after hours on end of air and road travel, to be able to check in and shower in your selected hotel accommodation is perfect bliss. But for other parts of the trip, booking hotels or hostels is less than necessary. Tourism is a huge economy generator, lest you didn’t know. That Southeast Asia is improving on backpack travel infrastructures is only to the traveller’s advantage just because s/he will nearly never run out of hotels. Also, it is a fantastic advocacy to help independent or family-owned hotels to make sure you’re helping sustainable tourism in the country and directly benefit local economic development.

While you’re at it, you can also research and book tours that contribute to preservation of culture and endangered wildlife in the area, such as the elephant camps in Chiang Mai. Animal rights activists fight for elephants which are made to wear painful wood in their backs to carry tourists for hours in the jungle. These cuts through the pachyderms and is a truly distressing truth. By a small act of choosing tours, like elephant camps that offer elephant-back safari, you are ensuring that cultures and wildlife will subsist until your next time here.

5. PICK your PACK: The right pack

Backpacks are essential, need I say? Having taken care of the more vital things, it’s high time to freak about your pack, and I say that in a excellent way. There are many excellent choices for packs these days but the operative word is comfort, as it has been throughout the article. Right size, zip-around, compartments, chimney, and straps – these are what you want in your pack. Zip-around versus top loading is self-explanatory (no more digging everything out). Internal and external compartments offer fantastic organization. Chimneys will make ventilation between man and pack, so certainly no flat backs, please. Straps for securing the pack in place as lug this around. Finally, the right size also means making sure the pack and its would-be contents stays within the carry-on limit.

(Pick a sturdy and reliable set of shoes for trekking as well!)

6. PLEASED PACKING

Never shall I more happily stress this… pack light, pack well. This is the code of the backpacker. No matter how huge your bag, there will always be a way to fill it with crap. (Yeah, take that laptop out.)So, know your destination – SEA. The basics would cover a first aid kit, travel size toiletries, a sweater or a sarong, trekking shoes, passport (photocopies and photos for visa apps), USD currency and yourself.

Laptops and other expensive e-gadgets are quite risky due to theft and hurt concerns, rather bulky too. Keep your techie luggage to cameras and mobile phones. Anyway, the region teems with internet shops, while hotels are mostly Wi-Fi ready. Make sure your backpack is half empty when you come here to save space for your shopping. Keep that first aid kit. With the poor medical facilities in some rural areas, this might just save your life.

Save for…

The incredible thing is that all your modern comfort needs are here, authentic and cheaper. Toiletries are manufactured in Thailand and Philippines like J&J and Colgate. The sarong, whichyou can also choose to buy here, is handy as a makeshift blanket for the cold nights or as a shoulder/leg cover-up for those solemn temple visits. Thongs or flip flops which come cheap in SEA (less than US) are also necessary for that city trek and for bathroom use when things aren’t looking that nice and clean. Don’t forget that dear Southeast Asia is a shopper’s discount haven for counterfeit, original, and all brands. In fact, you can also buy a cheap tri- or quad-band mobile here with a local SIM for less to stay connected.

***

The real deal in backpacking is freedom and the ability to choose. The ultimate advice to date is to be highly adaptable and flexible to situations. Seriously, Southeast Asia is the place for “Tenner-A-Day” student travellers. Daily budget: -, not including shopping.

Weigh your options when a risky but fun opportunity comes along, and simply SIMPLY (I mean really) avoid messing with drug policies, not just in Southeast Asia. Tourist or local, drug violations render unmerciful sanctions for being caught dabbling whilst in Southeast Asia. In some countries, it could be a choice between jail time, deportation, life sentence, or the best of all, death penalty.

Above all else, you want to remember your visit and share those memories and experiences with others. Postcards from VistaPrint.com are the perfect way to reach out to your friends and keep them up to date with your travels.

Delays and cancellations can be an incredible thing too, so keep cool and go with it. Should you get lost, what can I say? That’s the whole point! This will be an exciting trip!

For instance, if you are looking for a hi-fi style of living, Asian countries like Japan is the best. Sightseeing options are aplenty in Asia, the evidences of which are awesome attractions of Thailand and Singapore. Equally worth mentioning are Asian countries such as India and China that abound in rich history as well as incredible attractions. Also, of fantastic significance are specialties of nations like Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Indonesia.

Many of these nations not only provide umpteen options for business and commerce but also for education and employment. Further, one of the greatest things regarding the Asian countries is that their cuisines are diverse and sumptuously incredible. In contrast to other continents such as America and Europe, the cost of living in Asia is exceptionally low and accommodation options are superb.

Above all, majority of the Asian countries are safe places to live, an example for which is destinations such as Hong Kong. Hence, no wonder why people including westerners consider living in Asia as a fantastic experience. Nowadays, many foreigners, especially Americans, even prefer Asian nations to spend their life after retirement.

Accommodation opportunities are fabulous in Asia, with a plenty of options to choose from including single detached homes, budget villas and homes, luxury apartments, and gated communities with a host of facilities and amenities. But, in recent years, condominiums, otherwise, condos have become a much preferred accommodation option among both the residents and travelers to Asia.

In addition, since many of the Asian nations have loosened the governmental laws regarding this accommodation type, condos have now become an everyday word. This in turn has boosted the sale of condos in Asia, particularly in countries like Singapore, China, and Hong Kong. Condominiums in Asia are simply a category of private property, whose some parts are individually owned while others are jointly owned. In other words, condos are a type of private property with joint ownership.

Living in an Asian condominium is truly an incredible experience, since many of them are within close proximity to nearly all top attractions of the place. Depending upon your lifestyle, budget, personal tastes, and preferences, condominiums in Asia come in a variety of forms, such as, apartment, townhouse, and single detached structure. No matter you have chosen which type of condos, they are mostly attached with features like relaxed bedrooms with adjustable beds, expansive living rooms with sofas, fully equipped kitchen, eco-friendly areas, and ironing boards.

Some of the condominiums even come graced with top-rated furniture and equipments. Specialties of condominium units also cover the common features it share, such as, parking facilities, areas exclusively for kids, game rooms, passageways, escalators, and well-manicured gardens that are ideal for a relaxed stroll. Some of the luxurious condominium complexes in Asia come with high-end facilities like meeting rooms attached with sophisticated equipments, sauna and spa facilities, and fitness rooms.

Owning a condominium in any of the Asian countries renders scores of benefits. Affordability is one of the main benefits of condo units. As there are a large number of people, apart from state of the art security monitoring system, security is guaranteed in these units. Access to common facilities like pool, library, and elevators, and low interior and exterior maintenance fee are the other benefits of owning a condominium in Asia. Also, buying a condo unit in Asia serves as an brilliant long term investment, yielding huge profits. Apart from these, living in a condominium in Asia enables you to be a part of a unique community.

Despite the facilities and benefits condos offer, there are certain things to be taken into consideration while choosing condominiums as your accommodation option. Since condo units are governed by condominium association, it must be checked whether the rules and regulations formulated by them are flexible. For instance, there are certain condo communities imposing restrictions on the usage of the pets. Also, considered for living in a condominium in Asia are factors such as condominium interior and outdoor maintenance fee, neighborhood, and parking area.

With a plethora of real estate agencies and property builders, renting or buying a condo unit in Asia is not at all a chaotic process. Many of them offer superb facilities, and some of them even provide facilities to ease buying procedures associated with the owning of condominiums. The internet also serves as one of the most well loved way to search and own a condo unit of your choice, since many of the realtors and other service providers have their own sites on the web with pictures and prices of properties.
