Southeast Asia Must-See Places & Country Guides • Indie Traveller

If you’re looking for the best places to visit in Southeast Asia, then you may have already stumbled upon quite a few ranked listicles. Most of these feature the same 10 or so most iconic sites, which is kind of a bummer.

What I thought I’d do instead is share my overall take on each country in Southeast Asia, which could then help you jump off into further research on countries or regions that you like the sound of. This is really the best method for finding interesting places that aren’t yet in all the top 10’s!

While I’ve not been everywhere (has anyone?), I’ve traveled the region for a combined 14 months on trips from 2013 to 2019.
