The Far East In A Nutshell
Although not the first thought that comes to mind when you think of Japan, the country is slowly but surely becoming a centre point for sporting enthusiasts with more than 500 ski spots scattered throughout its main island. Diving, golf, rugby and water sports are also popular pastimes on offer in abundance in many of the country’s regions.
Tokyo has really put itself on the world’s culinary map with more than 100,000 restaurants all in one city and with more than a third of them receiving Michelin stars or other prestigious food awards.
Although it’s still traditional in many respects, Japan is nevertheless an excellent destination for night-owls who love to party after dark. Enjoy bizarre but brilliant nights out at themed evening cafés, get on the VIP lists of the most exclusive bars in Asia and dance the night away in the on-trend clubs of the capital.
Thailand
Providing the beach holiday of your dreams, Thailand’s Koh Samui is a superb location. The region is awash with golden shores and powder-white sands with many of the private areas offering a tranquil escape from the usual crowds.
If you thought nightlife in Bangkok was all about drinking and dancing? Think again! The Patpong Night Market is an after dark bargain locale where you can enjoy a magical evening eating fabulous street food while wandering between stalls bringing with authentic Thai craftsmanship and souvenirs. Drinking and dancing are still on the menu if you want it though.
For a more authentic experience of Thailand’s ancient origins, Phuket Old Town is a must on the bucket list of any true culture vulture. With sites like Wat Chalong offering statues, temples and an aura of spiritual significance, you might come away with more than a good photo.
Malaysia
If you want to experience an animal encounter like no other, head into the depths of the Borneo jungle, where you'll have your camera glued to your fingers with once in a lifetime sightings of the impressive orangutans in their natural habitat. Other creatures that can be found are the proboscis monkey, the native pygmy elephant, sun bears and more.
Get a taste of city life in the capital of Kuala Lumpur. Not only is this city teeming with luxury hotels and sublime cuisine, it's also home to luxury shopping malls and one of the tallest buildings in the world, The Petronas Towers. The Sky deck KL Tower and Batu Caves are also tourist hot spots you won't want to miss.
For those longing for some beach time should visit Langkawi where five-star luxury hotels are beachfront, boasting sweeping ocean views. For adventurers, the 125-metre curved Sky Bridge is a great day time activity with breathtaking views of the forest and ocean below. Alternatively, hike to Seven Wells Waterfall, which offers the perfect cool down, with natural slides and clear pools that you can swim in whilst marvelling at idyllic views.
