Southeast Asia Tourist Attractions

The continent of Asia is home to unequaled exotic cultural influences and temples built in times past, white blazing beaches, and tastefully unique cuisines. Cruise lines are an ideal way to tour this lovely continent.

During the extent of your cruise, there will be plentiful stops at some of the best tourist destinations that Asian culture has to offer. Gorgeous landscapes and unmistakably delightful food draws more tourists than the typical tour of the Bahamas. Thailand, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Singapore are certain stops along the South East Asia shores. Enter the region of Wat Pho in Bangkok, Thailand and experience the splendor of the Reclining Buddha, a famous tourist attraction. Many countries of Asia have moved into the tourist scene in order to boost industry interest and commerce. Ten days would be the minimum amount of time to allow for your cruise to tour Asia. On a cruise, you can tour Asia at your leisure.

Manual, automatic, and semi-automatic bikes are available to rent at varying prices. Of course, automatic motorbikes are the easiest to ride.

To be safe, we paid the extra few Ringgits to rent an automatic car to avoid the trouble of left-hand shifting. Unlike Thailand, Laos, and Indonesia, Malaysia seemed to be a very safe place to drive - paved roads, well-marked signs, and more cautious drivers. What we tend to forget in our daily lives of stop-and-go rush-hour traffic is the pleasure of driving. All you need are the keys to your car.
