ASEAN flights
1. Krabi, Thailand: Perfect for sea lovers and adventurers
It’s hardly surprising that Krabi is one of the hottest holiday destinations in Thailand. Breathtaking views and gorgeous islands and beaches – perfect backdrops for both relaxing and exciting vacations.
- Coral reef snorkelling: Breathe in the glorious sights of coral reefs aplenty in Phi Phi Islands or Koh Lanta, or help out in restoring them with environmental conservation activities!
- Sea cave kayaking: Embark on sea cave tours that see you exploring the narrow cave rivers of Tam Lod Nua, admiring ancient limestone formations at Tam Phee Hua Tho, and more!
- Rock climbing: The limestone cliffs in Krabi are BEGGING to be climbed, with hundreds of climbing routes available in the city; Railay and Tonsai are the go-to’s for novices and veterans, respectively.
2. Phu Quoc, Vietnam: The pearl of ASEAN
Dip your toes in cooling turquoise and powder-white sand, dig into out-of-this-world seafood delicacies, and escape from the hustle and bustle of city life on Vietnam’s biggest island!
- Long Beach: 15km of uninterrupted beachline awaits you at Long Beach, with the absolute best seats for the most beautiful sunset sights imaginable reserved for you.
- Ham Ninh fishing village: Savour signature boiled crabs and other fresh-from-the-sea seasonal seafood, and take in the rustic atmosphere at one of the country’s oldest fishing villages.
- Cay Dua prison: One of the best places for history buffs, it details the horrors that the imprisoned locals had to endure during the Indochina War.
3. Singapore: More than a global financial centre
Gardens by the Bay
Malaysians may like to take jabs at Singapore’s cuisine (all in good fun~), but the aptly-named Lion City actually has a lot going for it, especially on the food front, family-friendly vacays, shopping, and happening nightlife.
- Michelin-starred feasts: From three-starred french fine dining Les Amis to one-starred pork noodles at Hill Street Tai Hwa, Singapore has it all!
- Gardens by the Bay: This horticultural gem truly sets the standard of garden artistry, housing more than 1.5 million plants from across the world. Night visits are highly recommended!
- Clarke Quay: There’s simply no place better for an unforgettable night, with crowd favourite Zouk Singapore, live music haven Warehouse Bar, and bistro bar Level Up – just to name a few.
Domestic flights
1. Langkawi: The jewel of Kedah
Langkawi Skybridge
Aside from being the obvious paradise for beaches, Langkawi is packed with many other attractions as well, such as towering mountains, magnificent waterfalls and forest valleys that are perfect for hiking.
- Pantai Tengah Beach: The longest beach in Langkawi – at 700m – perfectly balances tranquillity and liveliness, with plenty of quiet corners to hide away at, as well as water activity options, bars and restaurants, and massage parlours.
- Langkawi Skybridge: Skip the cable car ride! Opt for a 2km hike on top of its ancient mountain to take in Instagrammable scenic views before reaching the “longest free span and curved bridge in the world”.
- Temurun Waterfall: Reaching the heart of Langkawi’s tallest waterfall requires a somewhat-daunting trek, but we promise that the spectacular cascading water is worth it, especially during monsoon season.
2. Penang: Foodie trip perfection & more!
Soundmaker
If there’s one place in Malaysia that both locals and tourists love, it’s this not-so-little island city. Aside from food, locales rich in history, and beaches, there’s a lot more to Penang than meets the eye.
- New World Park: Keep your foodie aspirations simple with this one-stop food court for almost EVERY Penang delicacy; don’t be fooled by the “food court” label, because it’s better than you’d expect.
- ESCAPE Penang: Touted as the “#1 theme park in Malaysia”, thrill-seekers AND family-centric holiday-goers will find plenty of exciting rides and games that guarantee huge splashes of fun.
- Soundmaker: Check out the island’s underground music scene by rocking out at Penang’s oldest alt-rock club!
3. Terengganu: Nature and seafood lovers will feel right at home
Terengganu State Museum
Sien of Redang Island and Perhentian Islands? There are actually plenty of holiday options on the eastern coast of Terengganu, from serene lakes and majestic mountains to mussel picking or heritage sites.
- Mussel farms: Pick your own mussels around the various farms across Kampung Mangkuk, Seitu or Kuala Baru, and learn how these freshwater clams are farmed naturally.
- Lake Kenyir: Sleep on houseboats, go on caving trips or visit the Kenyir Elephant Conservation Village at Malaysia’s largest man-made lake.
- Terengganu State Museum: Admire century-old artefacts and the like at the country’s largest museum, where you can learn about the history of Terengganu’s royal family, traditional weapons and Islam in the Malay Peninsula.
