One of the most favorite destinations for independent travellers and backpackers, South East Asia has astonishing Buddhist temples, dense jungles, bustling markets, exquisite cuisine and exotic culture. As one of the most affordable regions of the world in which to trip independently, you can expect expected value for money and the trip of a lifetime. Here is a sample itinerary for colse to 6 weeks backpacking Southern Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia.
Fly into Bangkok. As the start of many South East Asian adventures, Bangkok is the greatest in exotic and excitement. It's busy, polluted, noisy and intense. The culture shock may be bewildering but the touch will be unforgettable.
From Bangkok head south by train to Surat Thani, then catch a speedboat to Koh Samui. Spend a week or two on the idyllic beaches eating Tom Yum Soup and drinking Chang Beer.
Khao Sok National Park: Southern Thailand contains an area of jungle faultless with monkeys, elephants, and cool lodges. Stay and enjoy the trekking for a day or two.
Phuket, Ko Phi Phi and Krabi: stray slowly down the Andaman Coast. If you fancy it you can go sea kayaking, go diving, or hire a motorbike and examine the beaches independently.
Take a bus or train south and into Malaysia. This border crossing is no hassle. Once in Malaysia head to Penang where you can swap your phrasebook and catch up on a few big city comforts.
Kuala-Lumpur: Less intense than Bangkok, Kl is an easy place to relax. There's plenty to see in Kl for a incorporate of days including the Petronas Towers and the historic colonial architecture.
Singapore: It's developed, westernised, comfortable, clean and expensive. Singapore is an international hub where you can spend a few days looking the sights and enjoying the food before flying home or onto your next destination.
Assuming you trip independently as a backpacker, this 6 week trip is likely to cost in the region of 00 -00.
