Tips

01
Eat Where Locals Eat
Avoid tourist menus. Seek out plastic-stool joints with handwritten signs and queues of locals — that's always where the magic is.
02
Travel Shoulder Season
April–May and September–October offer better weather, fewer crowds, and lower prices across most of Southeast and East Asia.
03
Always Carry Cash
Street food stalls, tuk-tuks, and local markets rarely accept cards. Keep small local currency for day-to-day spending on the street.
