Congratulations on your new baby. She will be a world traveler in no time. Great post. I’ve also been to all these places in Southeast Asia, first in the early 1980s and continuing until 2019. I agree with your assessments.

As for me and my girlfriend Malaysia so far has been the best country in Southeast Asia so far, because they have 50% Malaysians 30% Chinese and 20% Indians living there, which means they have the BEST foods there in ONE country. And it is cheap!

To see what we saw, I made a video about the trip:

Marek, great look at the region. I’ve done lots of it, but not as much as you have covered– thanks for the inspiration to return! If you’re looking for a funny book set in SE Asia, do check out Chicken 65. It’s a road rally set in Thai/Laos/Cambo. free samples on the site. Happy Travels!

In reply to Sam Sparro. Yeah that one's technically part of South Asia :) It's still on the list for me to go to!

Hello,

Any insight about Sri Lanka ? Unsure where you draw the borders of “South-East Asia” 🙂

Thanks !

Sam.

Many thanks, Marek for your quick reply about children-safe beaches in South East Asia!!

In reply to Ana. Not really sure, sorry Ana! I only know that Sanur on Bali is known as a very safe and family-friendly beach. I think it's also a pretty lame beach though (not very scenic) but not sure what alternatives to suggest.

Hi Marek, do you have any recommendations for safe-swimming beaches in South East Asia in August? Any but also in particular in Bali? Traveling with small children and we would like them to be able to go freely into the sea. I was in Seminyak last August and red flag was up most of the days with signs banning swimming

In reply to Timothy.

No real security issues in Myanmar that I’m aware of for visitors (despite recent political issues). The temples of Bagan are fantastic. Without knowing you it’s very hard to say whether Thailand or Bali is a better bet – some people love one but not the other, some people think they’re too touristy while others relish the ease of travel in these places!
