3. Singapore - (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet

Get lost in the swirl of skyscrapers in the city centre, be transfixed by the Bolly beats in ramshackle Little India, hike rainforest in Bukit Timah, navigate retail mayhem in Orchard Rd or sip cocktails at a city rooftop bar.

4. Philippines (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet

Peel back the Philippines’ layers and there are treasures aplenty to be found. For starters, explore desert islands, scale volcanoes, gawk at ancient rice terraces, submerge at world-class dive sites, and venture deep into the mountains to visit remote tribes.

Ascend to the heavens at Angkor Wat, a fusion of spirituality, symbolism and symmetry. Descend down to Tuol Sleng to witness the crimes of the Khmer Rouge. This is Cambodia, a captivating destination that mesmerises all who visit.

8. Indonesia (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet

Indonesia defines adventure: the only limitation is how many of its 17,000-odd islands you can reach before your visa expires. Whether it’s an idyllic remote beach, a glorious discovery underwater or a Bali all-nighter, Indonesia scores.
