Let's Go Southeast Asia On a Budget

From the Let's Go series.

This book covers Brunei, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Southeast Asia is the offspring of thousands of years of sea trade, religious conflict, colonial influence, expanding empires, political maneuvering, and continuous ethnic redefinition. Legend, mixed with scientific evidence, says that the story began when the Tai-Kadai people arrived from southern China and formed the Thai and Lao kingdoms. Indonesian Malays intermarried with Indian traders and princes to become the Khmer people, and a Chinese migration enriched the blood lines. Kingdoms mixed, matched and migrated; European powers divided, conquered, and colonized; and in the wake of colonialism, nation-states formed, collapsed, and rebuilt themselves. From these shared origins, the countries of Southeast Asia have formed distinct, proud, and historic national identities that flaunt themselves amidst the stunning geographic and cultural diversity that has come to characterize the region. Shimmering crater lakes await the tranquil traveler, while the steamy streets of the bustling big cities challenge even the hardiest urban adventurer. Every trip to Southeast Asia is an experience that awes, frightens, challenges, educates, and spell-binds. Though little is certain in Southeast Asia, one thing is guaranteed: looking back on one of the world's most incredible regions, you'll have one heck of a story to tell.
