For all its lush landscapes and magisterial temples, the popular image of South East Asia is often of the locals, and no wonder. Whether it’s a saffron-robed monk, conical-hatted farmer or colourful street hawker, wherever you go in the region a smile is always at the ready, the welcome always warm and genuine. That sunny demeanour makes sense the more you see of the countries here. South East Asia won in the lottery of seductive landscapes: alabaster beaches and pellucid waters studded with limestone stacks; hills and mountains carpeted with steamy jungles; rolling rivers gloriously enlivened with floating markets and surrounded by verdant rice paddies. Throw in unforgettable embellishments of the land – incomparable Angkor Wat; serene Sukhothai; sunrise over Burma’s spellbinding temple-strewn Pagan plain – and it soon becomes clear that the most difficult part of any adventure in South East Asia is choosing where to go – everywhere entices.
