Specialists of travel agencies note: every year among Russian tourists, the popularity of holidays in Southeast Asia is growing. The logical question is: why are such trips attractive?

Holidays in Southeast Asia are a great opportunity to see the exotic nature and unique attractions, visit sacred places and appreciate the identity of the peoples living in Asian countries. The growing popularity of such countries is also facilitated by the fact that almost every one of them can enter Russia without a visa.

Seasonal holidays in Asian countries

Having decided in favor of a trip to one of the countries of Southeast Asia, decide what time of year to go on a trip. Experience shows that you can travel all year round, but it is important to choose the right country.

January is favorable for holidays in India and Vietnam: at this time, the weather is usually fine here. A trip to Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Thailand will also be successful: in January, there is virtually no rain in these countries.

February is great for visiting the popular beach resorts of India, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Malaysia, as well as for traveling to the Philippines.

In March, a vacation in Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines will make a good impression. You can complement the enjoyment of the beaches, the sun and warm water by visiting ancient temples and other attractions. A vacation in China will also be successful.

April is traditionally the height of the beach season in the Philippines. In addition, in April, the popularity of such a destination as Indonesia sharply increases, but in Sri Lanka at this time the tourist season ends.

In May, choose a vacation in Malaysia, Indonesia or Vietnam, and you will not regret it. May is also good for relaxing in China or traveling to India.

June is the first month of summer, and, as you know, it is the rainiest time in almost all countries of Southeast Asia. Tourists may be advised to visit Hainan, Malaysia or Vietnam.

July is the high season in Indonesia: it rains less frequently this month than at other times of the year. An excellent solution would be a vacation in Malaysia and China.

In August, good weather traditionally stands where the two oceans connect - in Indonesia. In addition, travelers will enjoy a holiday in China and Vietnam.

In September, the dry season in Indonesia continues, the weather is fine in Malaysia.

October is a good time for a beach in Hainan. This is also the last month of the dry season in Indonesia, the likelihood of rain here begins to grow. In November, the bright sun shines over the Hindustan Peninsula, so tourists will enjoy a holiday in India.

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

Despite the widespread opinion about the rainy season in all of Asia, both in the South and Southeast, in 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" at most resorts.

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

The most interesting thing is that in summer Asia there is a huge plus, it is the price. And often in the summer, vacation in the resorts of Asian countries can cost much less than in winter. As I mentioned at the beginning, in the summer many European resorts become active and they constitute a huge competition to Asian countries. As a result of which there are attractive special offers for flights from airlines, and hoteliers, in turn, offer tourists interesting promotions for updating the categories of rooms, meals or simply lowering the price of accommodation.

Pros of rest in Asia from April to November:

• Low prices for hotels, due to the competition of European beach destinations;
• Discount on airline tickets;
• The practical absence of Russians, in the resorts a predominant number of Europeans;
• More free access to mass attractions.

But consider each country and some resorts separately ...

To see how the weather in the region changes depending on the month, select the tab with the desired month name.

Strong waves are possible.

Typhoons are possible

Perhaps the coast will be nailed garbage

VIETNAM

A narrow strip from north to south stretched Vietnam along the east 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 1,600 km, the total area of \u200b\u200bthe mainland is 331,700 square meters. km In addition to the mainland, Vietnam owns the islands of Kondao, Re, Tyam, Fukui and many other small ones. The country is in a territorial dispute with China over the Paracel Islands and Spratly Island.

Most of Vietnam is occupied by mountains and ridges. In the north is the mountainous plateau Yunnan, where Fansipan (3143m) rises - the highest point in Vietnam. In the center of the country are the famous Annam Mountains. Two large rivers flow through the territory of the country - the Hongha and the Mekong. The bulk 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 some isolated tribes live there.

So in South vietnam   (these are the resorts of Phan Thiet (Mui Ne), Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh) there is no clearly defined change of seasons, therefore, tourists will be comfortable here both in winter and in summer. In the summer months there is increased humidity, but in general precipitation is short-term and comes in the afternoon.

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

In Central Vietnam (Danang, Hoi An, Hue), on the contrary, the seasons are distinct. High season is set here from May to September.

The only resorts that Tourist-Travel advises to avoid at this time are the islands of Fukuok and Kondao. It is very hot and rainy in the summer months.

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

CAMBODIA

In Cambodia, there is a clear division into two seasons: dry (November-April) and wet (March-December).

But to refuse to visit this wonderful country is still not worth it. In summer, you can turn your eyes on excursions that do not stop working. And what pictures can be taken (people who are fond of photography will understand me). But in winter, welcome to a beach holiday!

All excursions are also available year-round.

THAILAND

Wildlife attractions attract tourists from all over the world to Thailand. Only here you can visit the crocodile and snake farms, in the magical garden of Buddha, see the plantation of pearls and the garden of butterflies. Holidays in Thailand - these are unique nature reserves, ancient relics, extreme diving and luxury hotels with day and night entertainment. At all resorts in Thailand, the atmosphere of cheerful holidays and vibrant fairs reigns year-round.

The peculiarity of Thailand is the year-round temperature + 30˚ + 35˚ and there are no sharp drops, but still there are two seasons dry (November-April) and wet (May-October).

In the summer there may be prolonged rains, but it is practically impossible to predict them and often during two-week rest we do not observe any showers, but only a light 5-minute rain that nails the dust to the ground

Most of all, the weather is palpable in the south of the country on the island of Phuket and Krabi). So in Phuket, during rains, dangerous undercurrents can occur, strong waves are possible. The exception is only Koh Samui. Here we are waiting for dry and cool weather.

In summer, a private ferry service to Kut Island is closed due to the threat of storms. Public ferries run along the route.

Excursions are held in full, but no less than in winter. From mid-July to the end of September, excursions to the Golden Triangle area are limited.

The geographical position of Singapore, located almost at the equator erases the borders of the seasons in the country. Throughout the year, hot and humid weather awaits us. Since we fly to Singapore for the most part for excursions or shopping, a light rain is not a problem for us.
