Great post. My boyfriend and i plan on spending a few weeks in Malaysia during our backpacking trip and we hadn’t penciled in time on the Perhentian Islands – but maybe that’s worth reconsidering!

Great post. China will be the third destination on me and my boyfriends 2 year backpacking trip this fall and naturally we’ll be spending some time in Beijing. Looks like a lot of travelers recommend the Mutianyu section of the Wall — think we’ll try to get to that one!

Comment on Best Things to do in NYC by Vicky

Great list. Definitely agree that the High Line is NY’s most creative park – I love hanging around that area — Chelsea Market is also nice to walk through (right by the High Line) — I always end up staring at the glass window bakery operation and watching them bake and form all the dough. Have you been?

I had an amazing night at a Full Moon Party about ten years ago and I’d love to go back there, though I worry I might feel old! It is certainly a unique experience.

Great pictures of the Banyan Trees. I highly recommend a visit to Banteay Srei which is close to Angor Wat and has some very intricate sculptures. I agree most wont need the 3 day pass. I was travelling with my mom and she loved the temples so we used everyday.

Comment on Travel Photo of the Day – Byron Bay Australia by Mark Hansen

Byron Bay and the Gold Coast are very much a beautiful part of Australia and the world. But there are so many places to see in Oz (and it is a big continent) that it’s almost impossible to see it all in a reasonable time frame. But it’s fun trying anyway.

It looks amazing. I really hope I get to tour around Asia one day. It’s a huge gaping hole in my travelling repertoire!

Great article. I was hesitant about the tubing in Laos – bit worried it will be full of drunk 18 year olds getting naked, not what I want in case you were wondering!

You just made me realize that a wine bottle opener is a must!

Thanks for the tips. I’m going back and forth on what to bring and what not to bring.

Haha! Yes me too. I’m definitely going to do it but I’m already bricking it!

Amazing! Who would have thought that Laos is an adrenalin junky’s paradise? I heard about the tubing, but I am pleasantly surprised about all the other things. The gibbon experience however freaks me out-I’d probably poo myself…:-)

Tubing is definitely mental Jeremy! I do have a friend who did it without going to any of the bars along the way. It’s such a small cost, you can just hire a tube and make your own way down at your own pace (provided the river isn’t going too fast at that time of year)

Yep booking ahead of the game is essential. There’s only a few tree houses so places are limited.

And trekking in Laos is awesome! Can’t wait to go back

I really wanted to do the Gibbon Experience but a word of warning to anyone thinking about it – you usually have to book weeks in advance, as it’s so in demand! Sounded amazing though.
If you really want to get away from the crowds, head on a trek in the northernmost hills – absolutely unforgettable.

I would love to try the zip lining thing. I’ve heard about the dangers of tubing there and with the party scene, probably something I would stay away from. Plenty of other options for adventure though!
