I wonder why most tourists visit south east asia countries and complain about the hot weather. Do they do the research first before visiting? 🤔
Haha fair enough :p I guess it’s even hotter and more humid than expected even after reading about it
@@Chai_Travelis it hotter than european summer?
Temperature wise it can be very similar (31-37C) though it’s most of the time very humid.
Cheap for them. Cheap.
@@keangwooichoo6138✅these people looking for good sleep something they couldnt afford for expensive european rental accomodation🧐🙊😝😂
my top 10 cities (cities only)
1. Da Nang and Hoi an Vietnam
2. Chiang Mai Thailand
3. Singapore
4. Manila
5. Bangkok
6. kula lumpur
7. Penang
8. Bali
9. Jakarta
10. cebu
Love the list! Thanks for sharing:)
Bali is not a city. You mean Denpasar perhaps?
@@bmw3-er for him Bali is even a country :D
What a great selection of people and they have all been everywhere man. Seasoned travelers the lot of them and so much information offered. Another quality video. Cheers champ. 🤩
Aw thanks Steven! I noticed you're watching some older video's too! Thanks mate
Rata2 jika yg d tanya orang asia,mereka memilih kota2 yg ramai , sibuk dn bnyk gedung2 tinggi.tapi jika yg d tanya orang eropa/USA ,mereka lebih memilih kota2 yg nyaman,bersih ,etnik dan eksotik
Great comments there from all Mr. Chai - lots of varied favorites which is nice . I’m looking forward to coming over very soon 😃👌✔️🙁🙏👋
That’s great news mate! I’m pleased to hear this. When are you going? 🤩
I went to south east asia for three months and my favourites where Georgetown/penang in Malaysia and Hanoi I think!
Goergetown should be somewhere up there too indeed! Great food, beautiful people, and architecture ❤️🇲🇾 thanks for your input 🤗
As Indonesian, my fav city in SEA are Bagan, Pnom Penh and Makassar (South Sulawesi, Indonesia)
Good pick 😃 thanks for watching ❤️
City - singapore
Island - philippines
Culture - Bangkok
Mountain Clif - Bali
Chiangmai in winter.
Bangkok on every Sunday.
Singapore if you have money.
Haha Bangkok every Sunday ;P I like it!
Thank you for this video. Wonderful. This Southeast Asian region has more than dozens of beautiful cities. Malaysia alone has almost 20 cities, most of them are in Selangor.
Thank you Yasin! Hopefully we're able to visit most of them coming up years :D cheers mate
@@Chai_Travel Thank you. I've been to many cities in this region, in Malaysia the most, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, many big cities in India, many big cities in Spain, now, just patiently waiting for another chance to be in Europe. Enjoy your weekend. 😄
Perfect mate. It sounds like you’re a well traveled man 😃 thanks and have a good one too
@@Chai_Travel Thank you. You too, have a good one too. 😄
been in singapore i should i blown away with the easiness of travel in that city. surely one of the best city i ever visit. im from indonesia i should say we only have some place that is really developed the other not so much. but the natural beaches here is unmatch.
Thanks for sharing your experience 😃 We’re in Jakarta at the moment and we love it 😃
Bangkok and/or CHIANG Mai, for me number 1 in S.E. Asia. 🙏
Good choice 😆 cheers Gert
Indonesia is super beautiful. Im a Malaysian and often go to Indonesia
Awesome:) we’re looking forward to the whole journey 🤩
All are good.
All of them.
I sat with a guy randomly last night outside a shop here and when he got his cigarettes and joined me for a beer he was new to Phnom Penh,Cambodia. It turns out he was from Laos. A place I'd been to many years before and is Luang Probang. Beautiful Country.
He was from his home town working as a chef here to work and get money for his family.
He was gay ( which means nothing to me and not at all worth mentioning anyway.) We got chatting and friendly about lives in general and then he photos of his home town which is a place I have known but never been to. Stunning scenery and so beautiful that it is well worth another visit to see what I missed last time.
Many adventure activities there like rubber dingy water rapids and just one activity in a wonderful setting. I was amazed. I had known and heard of this place back quite a few years ago.
Vang Vieng.
Luang Prabang (sp)
So glad that Singapore is finally getting more credit as a touristic spot. Tired of all the negativity like "bro, Singapore is not even Asian bro, it's too clean and modern, and you're not even allowed to have chewing gums bro".
Asia is not just messy streets with noisy rickshaws, street food and old temples everywhere, it's also modern cities with good infrastructures and a focus on the future. People who want it stuck in the past, like a huge old history museum, somehow disrespect the region.
Ey mate nicely said, though, I think in a lot of cases it’s not meant disrespectfully. We hope to visit Singapore sometime next year 😁
Who said singapore is not even asia.from people to the broken thick asian english accent buildings weather etc....??????
It's funny how some people who say that rave about Tokyo, Seoul, Osaka, Busan, Incheon, Chongqing etc.
@@emman2702they said we were westernised something like that
Well it's true but also not true
singapore is definitely the next level of southeast asia, but going there one time or two times is enough, time to more adventure journey in myanmar, indonesia and the philippines
Kuala Lumpur is my favourite city in SE Asia but absolutely love Bangkok, Singapore and Jakarta. Even Manila was good too.
Mate, I’m with you on this. Haha I wouldn’t like to pick just the one city though 🤪 I also like Manila
I'm in Bangkok right now and tbh it's not my cup of tea, I think I'm just not a city person but compared to places with lots of nature in Thailand like the islands or the rain forests, Bangkok is not super clean, people are less patient/less happy, prices are higher, everything is a bit hard to get to and traffic is crazy... But worth it for a quick little visit for sure.
@@WeiFinder Every cities have flaws with BKK being no exception to this but love the city a lot
It is definitely Malaysia. It aint close bruh
I guess it depends on your budget, interests and time available. Taste preferences also matter.
The list is endless.
For example, if you like diving, then there are obviously a lot of diving spots in the region with great marine wildlife and Singapore is not known for diving.
If you like hiking and visiting mountains, then there are places like Kota Kinabalu (Malaysia), Da Nang (Vietnam), Mount Batur (Indonesia), Mount Batulao (Philippines) and many others. There are also active volcanoes.
If you like rainforests, then Malaysia (Borneo, Sabah, Sarawak), Thailand (Khao Sok National Park), Indonesia, Philippines..
There are so many beaches.. and there are thousands of islands in Indonesia and Philippines..
Some people might want to take the new train connecting Laos to China.. as Laos is landlocked, so this is a major development in terms of cross border trade.
There are many close elephant experiences in Thailand, which is unusual.
Some people like shopping. There are many good young less well known designers in Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia. Some people like spending time finding interesting pieces in small boutiques, night markets and fairs.
Batik is quite interesting. You can find it in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. It is nice to have a batik shirt for both casual and formal occasions.
People in Philippines are nice, but Manila could be a bit overwhelming. I don't think many people like Manila as it is rather expensive and the traffic is hectic. Generally, it is more relaxed once you are out of Manila.
Vietnam is famous for its tea plantations and coffee. It also has French inspired cuisine and cafes. The food is nice, but some people might not like coriander.
Cambodia is less well known but should be interesting.
If you cannot tolerate spicy food, then the cusine in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia might be challenging. Indonesia also has relatively spicy food. Burmese food can also be spicy.
The Java Jazz Festival is one of the largest jazz festivals in the world.
General attire for South East Asia should be berms. Always hydrate in the humid weather, carry an umbrella and try to stay indoors between 10am to 3pm.
Wear long attire and preferably shoes when visiting places of worship and photography might not be allowed.
Also, try the tropical fruits available. Those are definitely fresher and cheaper as compared to them being sold in the West.
Some good apps to have on your phone might be Grab and Gojek. These are ride hailing apps (like Uber) that work in various SEA countries.
i'm a filipno, my opinion as someone who only sees country from the internet, i like the wholeness of malaysia, indonesia and singapore. thailand and vietnam are foods heaven.
singapore - mosly modern, expensive and safe
indonesia - has (mixed of)everything in southeas asia if not most of the word
Nice one :) hopefully you’re able to travel to some of South East Asia sometime 😁
@@Chai_Travel Thxs man! i will, i promise that my self... :D
Bangkok and/or CHIANG Mai, for me number 1 in S.E. Asia.
I love Chiang Mai 😍
If you love cheap and entertainment, go to Thailand.
If you love nice and dont mind on the cost, go to Singapore.
If you want both/or the middle way option, Malaysia is a great choice 👍
Thanks for sharing! 😁
@Chai_Travel that is why Chinese tourists go on tour and tells you the famous 3 countries they visit. This tour is called "sin ma thai". Meaning singapore, then malaysia then reach thailand, then go back to china using singapore flights(go back down again). This is the famous tour. You do not see many chinese tourists going to indonesia or philippines. Because not many chinese culture there compared to thailand, Malaysia, singapore. Our chinese food is awesome.
@@keangwooichoo6138i see. New info for me
@@keangwooichoo6138 I agree, from my perspective as a Chinese Indonesian, those 3 countries are far more welcoming to Chinese tourists, especially in Malay and Singapore since a lot of them speak Mandarin, while Thailand is open about entertainment and people from different countries.
@@keangwooichoo6138 say what? Please research the current influx of Chinese nationals in the Philippines. 😊
i´ve been in every country in south-east Asia. difficult to say which is the best city, but i like very much Chiang mai, Phnom penh, Bangkok, Nha trang, Luang prabang....
That’s great :) I think they all should be up there 😁 cheers mate
I’m a new traveler too. But here’s the tip: after checking in your room, first check the window if it locks properly or you might loss your valuable items at night. 😢
I'm sorry to hear that! Never leave anything near the window anywhere would be your safest thing to do. Obviously there are very safe countries in the world but unfortunately it's very rare :(
If I'm rich, I'd say Singapore for the modernity and safety, not to mention that they are multicultural and its easy to communicate even with just English. Bali is really nice, but it can get annoying when its holiday season and tourists trash the place, there are party places and there are cultural / zen places there within a-not-so-long distance so I can just go wherever my mood wants to. Thailand is food heaven for me, and there are many cheap shopping places, they're more open about entertainment which can be negative sometimes. Malaysia is also a nice place because of the multicultural aspect too and the country is relatively safe with a good amount of entertainment places.
I couldn’t say it better haha. Thanks mate 🏆
Multicultural is kind of odd though if you’re in Asia though! It would just be like living in the West!
@@Iceyfire12 not really, there are places where a lot of cultures mix together, prime example in SE asia are singapore and malaysia, I've been to those 2 places and the multicultural aspect didn't feel awkward.
All cities in South East Asian must be visit. Each own special thing. Of cos very safe.
Aw that’s probably the best answer ❤️
I love borneo....especialy Sabah the country below the wind...😁😁😁
I’d love to visit one day 😄
Love bali indonesia🇮🇩
I have been to many city in South East Area, each has its own uniqueness so picking one isn't easy. But for me I would say, Phnom Penh, Saigon, Bangkok because of the people.
I love it 😁 nice top 3!
I like Bangkok, Phuket and Hanoi
Good choice 🤩 thanks
谢谢蔡先生的访问视频。
感谢您的观看
Greetings from INDONESIAN 🇮🇩👍
The 1st guy, surprised that he mentioned kuching. Hehehe.
Me too, I never been but it's on our list now
Yea. What a big surprise Kuching my hometown 😁🤗
We Malaysian ..Bruneian prefer to be underrated...better👍🏻✅
We are not excited these foreigners ( different classes of travel 😮🧐😛 )to come ...let them decide from their soul..honesty the best👍🏻
@shastrihabib1382 tourism and nature must balance. Over tourism is bad.
wow.. Mandalay..
It’s a special city with beautiful surroundings 🙂
I agree. Singapore is expensive but a beautiful city full of green spaces and surrounded by water. I also think that Phnom Penh is underrated despite being a bit unsafe. Vientiane is probably the most underrated. The most laid back capital I ever been to but quite interesting nevertheless. I didn't really get the appeal of KL though. Looked like a concrete jungle with some tall skyscrapers and modern malls but not much else.
Do you like Bangkok? I'm trying to get a gauge on your opinion
@@grego4835 Yes. Bangkok is great also. Probably my second favourite city after Singapore
Thanks for your view on it! I personally love KL though and I see many new buildings popping up with less concrete exposed :p but ey I think you’re spot on , about the underrated cities 😜. Thanks for watching
@@joepublicnpc8998if u disagree on concrete jungles in big cities in SEA why chose Singapore? You should have opted for lesser known town… Bali or Medan or Chiang Rai instead …🤦🏻♂️
@@nkve Because Singapore has plenty of peaceful green areas you can walk around. Specially near the water. KL feels a lot more dirty and congested in comparison.
It hurts when tourist always mention they visit Thailand, skip Malaysia, Singapore and then Indonesia 😢
Its ok, we are unique in our own way. We are not too crowded and people will be overwhelmed when they actually come and visit. We are like the hidden gem.
THAILAND 🇹🇭🙏😊
Bandung indonesia the best city mister😙😗😚😗😁😀😃😃😀🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Haha I have to find out myself!
Southeast Asia temperature is 45 degrees in Vietnam
That’s hot 🥵
@@Chai_Travel In the summer, eggs can be stuck outdoors at high temperatures
I agree Singapore is the best, truly amazing. Safe, progressive and green. Now also becoming somewhat a gay macca too, joining bangkok, something Malaysia & Indonesia definitely will not allow.
Concrete jungles, no beaches, all man made attractions,expensive, tiny place etc. Good to visit for a 2 days 3 nights package.
@@joejunior861 you want free ? Here is a working place. 2 to 3 nights you bankcrupt 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅🤣
Theres to much pollution in Chiang Mia . There’s even more pollution when the farmers start burning of there properties. Apart from this Chiang Mia is a really nice place for a holiday .
Yeah it's a pretty the pollution is returning from every year :( other than that it's a great place to be
Mandalay ❤
❤️
Kuala Lumpur ❤ 🇲🇾
We don’t wait to go back 😍
SOLO CITY Ngemplak...the best city in the world...
Thanks😁
I am sure chai has censored many minutes of his interview
And why do you think that? :)
@Chai_Travel Coz u want to sell your channel...just pick the best replies for the benefit of your audiences
@@bakafrayaborja896 and why do you think that?
Kanchanaburi,
Ayutthaya.
Nice places 🙂
Portuguese lady never been to EAST Asia where everywhere is spotless. Cleanest countries in the world.
China is dirty
China is the opposite of clean
KK is the best…
I’ve to check it out. Never been yet :)
Opinion people video:Myfavorit country a Singapore, Indonesia,Bali ..Bali???🙄😅

I LOVE INDONESIA 🇮🇩🙏🙂
Me too! 😃
Sayang sekali mereka tidak tahu jakarta dengan jumlah penduduk 11,40 juta jiwa 😢
Aku akan ke Jawa!
I like Singapore the most😊
Nice 😎
medan is the best city in SEA
If I had to pick just one hands down Bangkok and I've been to most of the others
Cool! Haha yeah it’s hard to beat Bangkok. Though I can see myself finding to busy and noisy if I live there for a long period of time :) I absolutely love the city though haha
BORACAY🌴BOHOL🪴PALAWAN🎋 and CEBU definitely🏝️🏖️🏄🏻🏊🏻♂️🚣🏻♀️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I can see u r a filipino who does not travel a lot

Too crowded due to heavy tourism nowadays. Luckily i went 15 years ago.
Indonesian 🇮🇩 country security very Nice 👍🇮🇩 wonderful Indonesian 🇮🇩 peace world

Haha yes. I still like to make them vlog personally. The interview videos are getting more views though :P Have a great one 🏆
Sorry bro !!! Bali in indonesia,,
Haha no need to say sorry 😝
Singapore Not really like asia?? Why u come??😂😂
