Region Southeast Asia is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The reason for this is the winter seasonality, the unique exotic nature, the combination of skyscrapers and urbanization with snow-white beaches and the azure sea, where you can escape in the middle of our winter bad weather. A big plus is a wide selection of tour prices from affordable cane bungalows to chic hotel complexes with a world name on.

So let's start with THAILAND...
Summer resorts: Koh Samui, Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, Hua Hin and Cha Am

"Thailand? In summer? But it's raining there," - such or approximately such words are most often heard from customers in response to an offer to spend a summer vacation in Thailand.

And what is most surprising - both sides are right. And if on the coast of the Andaman Sea the summer season is rainy and sunny days are increasingly replaced by cloudy and windy ones, then on the islands of the Gulf of Thailand and the royal resorts of Hua Hin and Cha Ame, the best weather for the whole year is set. The king rests in his country residences in the Gulf of Thailand in the summer.

Do you know that the most favorable weather conditions for holidays on the islands of Koh Samui, Tao, Koh Phangan from June to September: mild sun, calm sea, clear sky, lack of rain - all this attracts thousands of tourists to this region during the summer months. Full-moon parties, thanks to which Koh Phangan became known to the whole world and became a worthy rival to Spanish Ibiza, are best visited in the summer.

INDONESIA. (o.Bali)
During the summer season, Bali is the most suitable holiday resort. Here, from the beginning of June, a rather pleasant time comes, coolness and freshness blows from the ocean and the temperature drops to a sane level. Regardless of the part of the island during the day, the thermometer does not fall below +30 ° C, but the heat is not at all merciless. You can easily plan scooter trips around the island and not be afraid to get caught in a downpour. The evening is as warm as the day.

Summer holidays on Bali will suit sophisticated travelers. Ideal weather conditions, more than ever, contribute to both passive and active pastime. Sprawling palm trees leaning towards the clear turquoise waters, velvety white sands, picturesque bays, as if revived from the pages of glossy magazines - it seems that all this is a dream.

Surfers can enjoy great waves at all the spots of the southwest coast and spots of the Bukit Peninsula - Jimbaran, Balangan, Dreamland, Padang-Padang, Uluwatu

MALAYSIA (Borneo)
In summer, monsoons from the Indian Ocean influence the mainland of the country, bringing with them short rains and very high temperatures - up to + 31 ... + 35 in the daytime and + 23 ... + 25 at night.

However, during this period of time, Borneo is the most favorable Malaysian resort for recreation. It is located in a hot and humid climate, the optimum temperature is from +27 to +32 degrees. The weather here is warm and humid. The rainy season here falls on the winter months.

Amazing nature and beautiful beaches annually attract thousands of tourists to the island. The weather in Borneo during the summer is ideal for exploring the island's many attractions, from nature reserves under the shadow of the rainforest to magnificent sandy beaches. In August, there are practically no waves, the sea is turquoise in color and the wind is beautiful in the mornings, the least amount of precipitation falls. If there are rains, they do not interfere with rest at all.

VIETNAM. (Nha Trang, Da Nang)
July is the hottest month in Vietnam. In all climatic zones of the region, the temperature values ​​are almost the same. But the level of humidity and the amount of precipitation in the regions are different. If in Central Vietnam the weather is hot but dry, then in the south and north of the country the rainy season is at its peak. Beach lovers can safely go to Central Vietnam in the second month of summer. The best resorts for summer holidays are Nha Trang and Da Nang.

In July, the weather in Nha Trang and Da Nang is slightly different from the weather in the rest of southern Vietnam, because they are closer to the central part of the country, where the weather is still comfortable for a beach holiday. The total amount of precipitation per month averages 26 mm, which is quite a bit. The air temperature is 25-33° C (night-day), the sea is calm and clear. The water warms up to 28-29° C.


There are many stereotypes about Asia that it rains or is very hot here in summer and you should not go here in the off-season. Despite this, summer programs in Asian countries are successfully visited by tourists, but mostly people from European countries.
And on some islands in Southeast Asia, such as Borneo or Bali, summer is just the high season. About what the weather is like in summer in different parts of South and Southeast Asia, what is the rainy season, as well as other seasonal features of this region, we will tell in our review.

Despite the common belief about the rainy season throughout Asia, both in South and Southeast, during the summer, fears remain just a stereotype among Russians.

"The devil is not so terrible as he is painted"- there is no clearly defined "rainy season" in most resorts.

Let's say that in the region in the summer season there is a high probability of rain, this does not mean that it will rain forever. In fact, a light summer rain passes, which simply beats the dust to the ground and delivers additional coolness, since with a high probability precipitation is possible either in the early morning or late evening. And in most cases, for 2 weeks of stay at the resort, you can not find such a weather phenomenon at all. But as in any rule there are always exceptions, and in Asia there are exception areas where there can be prolonged rainfall.

The most interesting thing is that in summer Asia there is a huge plus, this is the price. And often in the summer, holidays in the resorts of Asian countries can be much cheaper than in winter. As I mentioned at the beginning, many European resorts become more active in the summer and it is they who are in great competition with Asian countries. As a result, there are tempting special offers for flights from airlines, and hoteliers, in turn, offer tourists interesting promotions for updating room categories, meals, or simply reducing the price of accommodation.

Pros of holidays in Asia from April to November:

  • Low prices for hotels, due to the competition of European beach destinations;
  • Discount on air tickets;
  • The virtual absence of Russians, the predominant number of Europeans in the resorts;
  • Freer access to mass attractions.

But consider each country and some resorts separately ...

VIETNAM

Vietnam stretches in a narrow strip from north to south along the eastern coast of the Indochina peninsula. In the north it has a common border with China, in the west with Laos and Cambodia. From the south and east, Vietnam is washed by the waters of the South China Sea.

The length of the country from north to south is 1600 km, the total area of ​​​​the mainland is 331,700 square meters. km. In addition to the mainland, Vietnam owns the islands of Con Dao, Re, Cham, Fukui and many other small ones. The country is in a territorial dispute with China over the Paracel Islands and the Spratly Islands.

Most of Vietnam is occupied by mountain ranges and ranges. To the north is the mountainous area of ​​the Yunnan Plateau, where Fansipan rises (3143m) - the highest point in Vietnam. In the center of the country are the famous Annam Mountains. Two large rivers flow through the country - Hongha and Mekong. The main part of the country's population lives along the channel and in the deltas of these rivers. In the mountainous regions of the country, the population density is very low, only a few isolated tribes live there.

Yes, in Southern part of Vietnam(these are the resorts of Phan Thiet (Muine), Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh City) there is no clearly defined change of seasons, so the tourist will be comfortable here both in winter and in summer. In the summer months, there is increased humidity, but in general, precipitation is short-lived and comes in the afternoon.

In summer, the South China Sea is much calmer, so tourists with children are advised to travel during this period.

In Central Vietnam (Danang, Hoi An, Hue), on the contrary, the seasons are distinctly expressed. The high season is from May to September.

The only resorts that Tourist Travel is advised to avoid during this time are the islands of Phu Quoc and Con Dao. During the summer months it is very hot and rainy here.

The excursion program in the country is maintained throughout the year in full.

Hello!

This is my first post on Gossip, and I decided to write it because I really love travel and Asia, and it seems to me that the site lacks posts about tourism, beautiful places in the world, etc.

Traditionally, I ask "not to judge strictly", as well as "to understand and forgive"))

So, a variation on the theme "10 best places in Asia worth seeing." It can be this summer, it can be anytime.

10. Taitung, Taiwan

He is Taitung, Taidong, 台東 in Chinese.

The coastal town of Taitung has an understated charm that takes days to unfold. The Pacific Ocean, mountains, traditions, temples, cultural diversity and the strong influence of local folk color create a very special atmosphere here. The streets of Taitung smell of the sea and incense, life flows slowly here. The relaxed atmosphere attracts Taiwanese bohemians, some of whom have settled here and opened small cafes or made art. There's always something to do here, whether it's a concert by a local pop group or the most significant event of the year, the Paper Lantern Festival, which has been held since 1954 around the time of the Lunar New Year. In the summer, the Taiwan International Balloon Festival is held here. In the vicinity of the town you can find activities such as whale watching, surfing or visiting the hot springs.

9. Meghalaya, India

The mountainous state of Meghalaya, also called the "Land of the Clouds", separates the valley of Assam from the plains of Bangladesh. This is a cool area, on the rocky mountains of which fir trees grow. The towns of Cherrapunji and Mosinram are statistically one of the wettest places on the planet; most of the rain falls here from June to September, creating spectacular waterfalls as well as carving out caves that are among the longest in Asia. The population of the state is mainly made up of the Jaintia, Khasi and Garo tribes who live in the eastern, central and western parts of the state respectively. Autumn, when the four-day Wangala festival takes place in the Garo mountains, is a good time to visit Meghalaya.

8. Islands of Trang Province, Thailand

South of Krabi in the Andaman Sea is the province of Trang, which includes several magnificent islands. At the service of those who love adventure, rich nature - dozens of waterfalls and limestone caves. Transport links are improving year by year. In the high season, you can easily get to Malaysia by moving from one island to another.

7. Pemuteran, Indonesia

This is a popular oasis in the northwestern part of Bali. There are several resorts located on the shores of a small bay. Most of the tourists who come here do scuba diving and snorkeling off Menjangan Island. Singaraja-Gilimanuk Street is the main artery of the town. Here you can find many shops and travel agencies that are focused on visitors.

6. Ipoh, Malaysia

Ipoh is experiencing a quiet renaissance. This pretty town has become a convenient stopover for tourists on their way from Kuala Lumpur to Penang. Now, a resurgent enthusiasm for Ipoh's heritage is allowing old shops to be restored, and new cafes to open in historic buildings. The network of hotels is also growing - from modest hostels to luxury hotels.

5. Hong Kong, China

Hong Kong welcomes its guests with signature skyscrapers and legendary cuisine, but it also has a surprise in store for its heavily protected nature and rare birds. The embankments of Victoria Bay, in the waters of which you can often see a junk with red sails, as if they were made for filming. Walking along the streets of Kowloon, you will see a lot of banks and shops of the most famous brands. It is worth visiting Lantau Island, which is reached by cable car. Here, on a hill, there is a huge Buddha statue and a breathtaking view of the surrounding islands opens up. In the pre-sunset hours, do not forget to climb Victoria Peak and enjoy the view of the bay, on the banks of which lights on skyscrapers light up. And children will undoubtedly appreciate Disneyland and Ocean Park amusement park.

4. Con Dao Islands, Vietnam

These islands can be called the jewel of Vietnam. The place, where political prisoners used to be exiled, is now becoming increasingly popular among tourists due to the magnificent nature. On Con Son, the largest of the 15 islands, beautiful beaches, coral reefs, beautiful bays and dense forests. In addition to hiking, scuba diving, exploring coastal roads and deserted beaches, here you can watch rare species of wildlife. Almost 80% of the island's territory is occupied by a national park.

3. Jeonju, South Korea

This city is known as the birthplace of the Korean Joseon Dynasty, as well as one of the country's most famous dishes - bibimbap (boiled rice and meat, fresh vegetables, fried egg and spicy sauce). In the central part of the city, ancient "hanok" buildings have been preserved, where museums, tea houses and workshops are now located.

2. Shanghai, China

If you are looking for the center of the world, you are here) It seems that the 24 million inhabitants of the city have made it their life's goal to have a good time. Ballroom dancing in the park, tasting rare varieties of tea in tea houses, a dinner of Chinese dumplings in vinegar sauce - scenes from the daily life of this metropolis. Great cocktails and craft beer can be found at the rooftop bars. And it shows how international the city has become. But the old Shanghai is always there. Life flows between the lines of old "shikumen" houses in the area of ​​the French Concession, and art deco buildings still stand on the Bund. This year, the first Disneyland in mainland China opens here.

1. Hokkaido, Japan

The magnificent "powder" in the mountains of Hokkaido has provided the island with a place on the tourist map of the world. Wild mountain scenery begs to be explored on foot or by bike. You will also find here alpine-looking villages and seafood freshly caught from the sea and served at your table. Thanks to high-speed trains from Tokyo, Hokkaido has become much more accessible in recent years.

Where to go to truly relax, and not sit in an exotic hut, fleeing the monsoons and downpours? We made an overview of places where the weather is good in winter, where you can go on your own or by buying a tour. Where you can sunbathe and swim together, with a company, with children.

It was opened relatively recently. Just something in the 1970s. Tourists on a boat quite by accident swam into these waters. And they could not hold back the cries of admiration. The island looked as if no one had ever been here. Paradise island with coconut trees and a couple of huts. Very soon, a riot of construction began. Everyone wanted to invest in this new paradise for Europeans. No wonder, because there is clean white sand, an amazing blue sea, green jungles come right to the shore.

All these resorts are suitable for winter holidays. But we must remember that the islands are in the sea, and where the sea, there is the monsoon period. On one side of the island it is warm and dry, on the other it is windy and unpleasant. Specify the details - they are the key to a relaxing holiday.

If you decide to buy travel agency ticket and you have been made a “profitable” offer at a very low price, check for yourself if there are any monsoons during this period, in this particular place. The weather on the islands is very different: on one coast - paradise, on the opposite - boredom.

Relax in pleasure, but choose the place carefully!
