It aims to give first-time backpackers in the region a basic overview of what to expect in Southeast Asia. It focuses on the things you need to know in a concise manner rather than going into great detail on every single possible destination. To read from cover to cover it may take only around 3 hours and it should act as a reliable point of reference that will assist you in the planning phase ahead of your trip and also be a handy resource when you're out on the road. It includes backpacking routes for Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar, Indonesia & The Philippines with suggested budget hostels for every destination. There's info on visa rules, border crossings, vaccinations, malaria, money and typical backpacker budgets in each country and for the entire region. We list SE Asia's cultural highlights and best festivals (where & when 2019 & 2020) plus the best destinations for adventure activities including rafting, skydiving & skuba-diving. It also counts down the top 10 party towns and lists all the full moon party dates 2019-20. Finally we answer some FAQ's from first-time travellers in Southeast Asia. Please Note - This is as an updated version of our 2017-18 guide. Changes include the introduction of a new section with tips on how to stick to a shoestring budget. We've also updated our hostel suggestions, budgets and exchange rates to reflect developments across the region since the last version was published and information is up-to-date as of October 2018. It is primarily geared for younger independent backpackers (18-35) however we hope older travellers will find it useful too :)
