Most of the established tourist destinations will issue tourist visas on arrival. Some of the newer sailing regions such as Cambodia might require a visa application in advance.

Some of the worlds top dive sites are located in Malaysia and Thailand, the surfing in the Andaman Islands and some parts of Indonesia is world class, and fantastic snorkeling can be found in almost every bay and inlet.

Climate

asia

The climate in the South East Asia region is mainly tropical, with year-round heat hovering around 30°C and varying levels of humidity. The region straddles the equator, and so the seasons north and south of the equator do vary. Typically, there are 2 main seasons. The dry season is hot, dry and sunny, and this is the tourist high season. The opposite season, perhaps wrongly named the wet season, certainly has daily rain showers, but long periods of sunshine often follow the showers.

This leads to all year round sailing weather in places like Thailand. Please refer to each destination page to find more detailed climate information.


Southeast Asian Cuisine
