Come on in, the Beach and warm Waters are Fabulous in Southeast Asia

Yeah, let’s go to the beach! If you love to soak yourself in ocean water, lie around on the sand, swim in beachside resort swimming pools, dive, snorkel, basically anything to do with the beach, well you’re in the right place.

Yeah, let’s go to the beach! If you love to soak yourself in ocean water, lie around on the sand, swim in beachside resort swimming pools, dive, snorkel, basically anything to do with the beach, well you’re in the right place. Southeast Asia is a haven for beaches! So, bring your swimsuit, suntan lotion and underwater gear because you’re in for a special tropical beach experience!

So, what does Thailand have for us? Lots! Let’s first start with the low-key, but still much sought after destination. This is Hua Hin, Bangkokians’ favorite escape. And it’s hard to find a reason not to go. It is just two and a half hours from the capital, the beaches are quite laid back and the town exudes a lazy atmosphere, nice for chilling out. Also near Bangkok is Koh Samed. About three hours east of Bangkok, the island is one of Thailand’s most tranquil. And a great place to swim and dive as well.

Head on south to Koh Jum. The beauty about this island is that it is relatively small, is quiet and with almost no cars or paved roads to speak of. If you prefer a slow pace of island living, then look no further! Another slow pace island option is Koh Lipe. Highlights include beautiful beaches, turquoise blue ocean waters and colorful marine life. Dive or snorkel in the waters of Tarutao National Marine Park. Sounds exciting! Last but not least, we have Khao Lak. And what to expert here? Hhmm. How about another Thai beach with white sands, warm blue waters and a diversity of marine life.

Let’s now head over to Cambodia. Sihanoukville is the country’s most popular beach resort town. And it is hard to argue against that claim. With white sandy beaches and clear blue waters, it is a nice place to kick back and relax after a wonderful round of temple touring in Siem Reap. Kep is also another option, which should appeal to those seeking for an undiscovered beach destination. Quiet beaches, delicious seafood and a laid back ambiance should relax your mind and body. And not far from both Kep and Sihanoukville is Ream National Park. Discover some of Cambodia’s flora and fauna with treks and leisure time headquartered from your very own luxury tent.

Off to Vietnam and her selection of beaches. First, let’s take a look at Hoi An. It is a UNESCO Heritage Town and if you ever wonder how Vietnam looked like 200 years ago, then Hoi An is the town for it. A good mix of history and beach leisure awaits. For a Vietnamese island experience, we highly recommend Phu Quoc. Spend your days by the beach, in the water swimming or snorkeling or head out local villages where the way of life has remained unchanged for generations.

And now Myanmar. This humble country is coming out with a huge bang! And within its borders lie the much sought after Ngapali. Very idyllic (don’t forget, Myanmar is one of the less visited in Southeast Asia) with elegant white sand and warm azure waters to match. Can’t go wrong here!

    Beat the Winter Blues with Asia’s Turquoise Seas

    As the weather begins to turn and the days begin to shorten in the northern hemisphere, many of us start to crave a vitamin D top-up.  Nothing beats the winter blues quite like a turquoise sea, a white sandy beach and a cold cocktail to hand - and all of this can be found in southern Thailand and its nearby neighbours, with picture-perfect beach destinations and dependably good weather. These relaxing winter beach escapes are sure to do the trick. THAILAND - PHUKET Thailand’s biggest island has over 30 beaches to choose from, from the touristy Patong, Kamala, Kata and Karon beaches to quieter beaches on the northern side of Phuket.   Phuket also provides an excellent springboard for visiting other sights. Take a day trip aboard a long tail boat to view the rugged beauty of the karst islands dotted around Phang Nga Bay, or set sail for the Phi Phi Islands… THAILAND - PHI PHI ISLANDS These six islands are amongst the most beautiful in Southeast Asia, with uninhabited Phi Phi Leh providing the backdrop for the 2000 film The Beach. Whilst they’re only a 45-minute speed boat ride from Phuket and certainly on the tourist radar, the main…

    Malaysia’s Hidden Paradises – Why it is Asia’s best beach destination

    Malaysia has the region's third longest and, arguably, one of its most beautiful coastlines. Between the eastern and western coastlines of Peninsular Malaysia and nearly half the circumference of Borneo, the third largest island on earth, there is an overwhelming number of exotic beach destinations ripe for discovery. For travellers looking for a perfect blend of tropical beauty and tranquility, there are options aplenty.  So the next time you recommend a unique beach destination to clients travelling to Asia, keep in mind some of these incredible options Malaysia has to offer. REDANG ISLANDS Redang Island Comprised of nine idyllic islands off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, the Redang Islands are the epitome of `paradise.' With crystal clear waters, bleachwhite sands, peaceful luxurious vibes and its own airport with daily flights from Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to boot, it's a wonder the Redang Islands remain so pristine. For guests looking to add a beach leg to their trip in Malaysia, this may very well be the best and most easy-to-add addition to their itinerary. Getting There: With direct flights from Kuala Lumpur's Subang Airport and Singapore's Changi Airport, getting to the Redang Islands is a breeze.…

    Adrift in Asia – Why Cruising is the Best Way to See the Region

    Cruising as a tourist endeavour has truly stood the test of time and is one of the fastest growing travel sectors today.  Part of the reason for its success is the way it has diversified to meet the needs of today's more sophisticated and demanding customers. That's certainly the case in Asia where guests can indulge themselves in an amazing array of water-bound experiences on the region's rivers and seascapes. In many ways, travelling by boat is one of the most natural ways to navigate Asia. In areas such as the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, one of the most impressive stretches of water anywhere in the world, river vessels are an integral part of life. It is a similar scenario in other parts of the region such as Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia. In Indonesia, meanwhile, boats are the main link between the countless islands that make up the archipelago. For guests, voyages in Asia vary wildly in scope and in style. The region's oceans brim with maritime promise. In Vietnam, karst-studded Halong Bay is arguably the nation's most compelling tourist must-see attraction. A visit to the north of the country is not complete without a trip to Halong Bay, where placid…

    Idyllic and Untouched – Lombok & the Gili Islands

    Known as the 'Island of the Gods', Bali's prominence as a destination is rightfully huge. In recent times, growing numbers of visitors have been looking a little further east to Lombok, where the fabled Gili Islands have emerged as one of Indonesia's premier beach havens.  For those who relish both comfort and exoticism, however, there is no better place than Bali. Many visitors barely scratch the surface of the island's deeply complex and spiritual Hindu culture, preferring to spend their time surfing the island's fabled breaks, relaxing in opulent resorts or enjoying life to its fullest in sleek beach clubs and international-class restaurants. The island's magical tapestry of enchanting temple ceremonies, vivid-green rice terraces and comfortable living, however, can be easily found in places such as the cultural center of Ubud, laidback beach towns like Lovina and Amed and in the glorious hinterland. Just to the east, Lombok is very different in character. The island is predominantly Muslim and is drier and more arid than Bali. Its highlight, the Gili Islands, with their coral reefs, stretches of white sand and friendly locals, however, offer perhaps the most blissful beach experience in Indonesia.

    EXO Explores – Western Honshu & South Japan

    The southern reaches of Japan don't get as much tourist footfall as the areas around Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, but they are no less alluring. Western Honshu, known as Chugoku, is best known for the legacy of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, its main city. However, visitors can experience everything from peaceful mountain scenery to exquisite seafood and culinary encounters with the potentially lethal fugu (blowfish), a specialty of the town of Shimonoseki on the far western trip of Honshu. Beyond western Honshu lies Kyushu, the third largest island of Japan and the most southwesterly of its four main islands. Rugged and mountainous, and rich in volcanic activity, the island is a favorite of hikers. The peaks of the Kirishima chain are ripe for exploring while the fearsome Mount Aso is the country's most active volcano. Excellent trekking can also be found on Shikoku, where pilgrims have walked clockwise around the island for more than a millennium, following in the footsteps of Buddhist saint Kobo Daishi. Far removed from Japan's main four islands and stretching south to within 200 kilometers of Taiwan, Okinawa shows visitors yet another side to the country. Known for its friendly, sub-tropical, climate and string of…

    EXO Explores – Cruising Indonesia

    There's a sheer abundance of islands in the Indonesian archipelago, not to mention the countless mighty rivers that puncture the interiors of vast states such as Sumatra, West Papua and Kalimantan. Therefore, boat travel is, to many Indonesians, as natural a process as waking up in the morning. Tourists, however, often avoid the giant ferries that ply the waters all the way from Sumatra in the west to West Papua in the east. A far more visitor-friendly way of experiencing life at sea in Indonesia is to hop aboard one of the many cruises that operate in the country. Indeed, with so many sights to see and so much diversity to experience from island to island, there is arguably no better way of cramming in the best of the nation. Unsurprisingly, there's a multitude of itineraries to choose from. Vessels, meanwhile, range from giant cruise liners to boutique liveaboards, handcrafted in the style of the ships used by seafarers from across the archipelago. Routes vary from one or two stop voyages, to epic expeditions that extend all the way from Singapore along the length of Indonesia to Queensland in Australia.  Special interest groups can be catered for and a wide…

    EXO Explores – River Cruising & Beach Breaks, Myanmar

    Myanmar's waterways are as integral to the country's character and soul as its golden pagodas and multitude of ethnic groupings. There are over 5000 miles of navigable river in the nation, and boat travel has traditionally been one of the main ways of getting around. These days, with domestic airlines and improvements in infrastructure making travel within the country a lot easier, the country's huge fleet of riverboats do less of a trade than in the past.  However, those with plenty of time on their hands will find that taking the watery route remains the most evocative way to appreciate the languid rhythms of Burmese life. While government ferries can be ramshackle, a number of private companies operate more luxurious itineraries on new vessels or upgraded relics from the British colonial era ranging from a day or two to over a week. The most important river in the country is the Irrawaddy, which is navigable all the way from its delta to the town of Bhamo in Kachin State during the dry season and even further in the wet season. The most popular Irrawaddy cruises take in the sights at Mandalay and Bagan while longer itineraries explore less charted, but…

    EXO Explores – Central Vietnam

    Vietnam's narrow waist arguably packs in the biggest concentration of must-see attractions in the country. From myriad leisure options that encompass championship golf courses and perhaps the finest stretch of sand in the region to a wealth of historical and natural draws, the slender strip of land is popular with a broad spectrum of travelers, from budget to high end. Those who want to delve into Vietnam's rich and often tumultuous past will find plenty of stimulation here. The region is home to three Unesco World Heritage sites - imperial Hue, the ancient port of Hoi An and the ancient Cham ruins of My Son. A darker chapter in the country's twisting saga can also be investigated in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), the old border between North and South Vietnam that witnessed some of the fiercest fighting of the American War. It is Central Vietnam's lightness of touch that is its greatest appeal however. Natural beauty abounds at the cool heights of Bach Ma National Park, Ba Na Hill Station and Hai Van Pass, while China Beach, which runs all the way south from Danang to Hoi An, is fully deserving of its worldwide fame. While modern Danang is the…

    Water: A Natural Lure to Asia

    There's no element more fundamental to the existence of life as we know it than water. It is the lifeblood of our planet and the defining feature of the place we call home. Water so precious to our existence that recent research has shown surprising health benefits to even being in its presence. So it should come as no surprise that some 40% of the world's population lives within 100km of the coast. Simply put, humans are hardwired to love water. As places with gorgeous water go, Asia is perhaps the world's greatest treasure. Within its crystalline seas and sandy shores are some of the earth's most dramatically beautiful and biologically diverse places. Don't believe us? Feast your eyes on a selection of Asia's most incredible and little-known places to be enchanted by water. Indonesia: Pink Beach, Komodo National Park, East Nusa Tenggara A vast archipelago consisting of some 17,000 islands, all within a few degrees longitude from the equator, Indonesia has no shortage of gorgeous tropical places perfect for worshipping the sea. If we had to pick just one place to do it though, it would be Pink Beach in Komodo National Park, East Tenggara. Nevermind that the island it's…

    Asia’s Liquid Assets: Our Water-Themed Encounters

    People with a love of water will find Asia the ideal getaway. What makes it such a special place isn’t just the abundance of great beaches and tropical weather, but the astounding number of ways a love of water can be realised. Just below the prismatic waters found throughout Asia’s coastal areas, some of the world’s most intense biodiversity can be found. The Coral Triangle, which extends through much of Malaysia and Indonesia, is said to contain 76% of all coral reef species and 6 of the world’s 7 sea turtle species. One can even take an active role in their conservation by releasing baby sea turtles with our Sea Turtles of Malaysia’s Libaran Island tour. For anyone wanting to experience the full majesty of Mother Nature’s aquatic creations, there may be no better place on earth than Asia. What’s more is that, with the bewildering array of traditional boats in common use throughout Asia, the getting there is often half the fun. Take, for instance, our Cycling in Chiang Mai Experience. What starts out as a traditional cycling trip quickly transforms into a multi-faceted adventure where guests hop on traditional longtail boats and go kayaking to reach homes floating…

    Visiting Thailand, Laos and Cambodia during local new year: EXO’s insight

    April in Southeast Asia is a time of vibrant celebration as Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar mark their local New Year. Commonly known as the ‘water festival’, this three-day event is steeped in tradition and communal joy- as well as a lot of water.The festival is three days, 13-15 April, however most countries extend the holiday period for 5-7 days. During this time, there are a number of traditions around spiritual and social activities, the most famous of which being the throwing of water. Originally a gesture of respect towards elders, the practice of water pouring has transformed into playful water fights, symbolising refreshment and renewal amidst the April heat.While the water festival presents a special glimpse into local culture, for travellers, this time can also present unique challenges beyond just the possibilities of getting wet! The festivities may lead to closed restaurants and cultural sites, while the surge in domestic travel limits accommodation and transport options.Despite these hurdles, the festival remains a captivating experience, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Southeast Asia during its most animated — and wet — season.

    Why Phnom Penh should be on every Cambodia itinerary

    Once overshadowed by its tumultuous history, today’s Phnom Penh presents a dynamic blend of modernity and rich cultural heritage, resulting in an enchanting stay for travellers. The Cambodian capital has undergone a remarkable transformation in the last decade, evolving from a city notably marked by the scars of civil war into a vibrant metropolis celebrated for its burgeoning arts, culture and culinary scenes. EXO’s product offerings have also evolved, with a host of new experiences showcasing the city’s history from a different angle and spotlighting the modern culture. Complemented by a selection of boutique and luxury hotels, guests’ stay in Phnom Penh can be curated to fit their personal travel styles and interests. ‘The very first time I came to Cambodia, I was a child and I had the memory of a village rather than a capital city. And when I moved here 7 months ago, I was incredibly surprised by the evolution and modernisation of the city’, shares EXO Cambodia Product Manager, Sophie Chan. With a growing number of international flights and easy domestic connections to Siem Reap and the beaches, a visit to Phnom Penh is easy to incorporate into any Cambodia holiday.

The annual event aims to encourage Cambodia’s youth to use their imagination and creative talents to enrich their lives.This year’s event was held on 24 February with the theme of dinosaurs.  Nine giant dinosaurs were paraded through the streets of Siem Reap by children and youth while more than 10,000 spectators cheered them on.  Music, performances and other creative activities added to the festive atmosphere.One of these giant puppets was supported by EXO, in combination with CAMDMC, a collective of DMCs working to support local, ethical events.
