Asia Vacation Ideas
Enjoy the Exotic and Incredible Far East
Asia vacation ideas. Take a romantic trip to the Far East, or take the
kids on an adventure to the Far East!
Asia offers something for everyone, from adventure, to relaxation,
to excitement, to culture, to education.
Asia is such a large continent that you have so many choices of places to
visit. You could spend every vacation for the rest of your life in Asia and you
still probably won't see it all!
We found that it can be quite inexpensive to travel within Asia. You can find
luxury hotels and resorts at a fraction of the cost of a North American
hotel if you do your homework, and airfares within Asia can be more than
reasonable. On the other side, however, you can also find some of the
most luxurious and expensive resorts in the world.
It's amazing how you can travel from one country to another and have a
completely different experience.
Within a few weeks you could enjoy the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong, the
excitement of the Macau casinos, the relaxation of the spas and beaches of
Thailand, and the serenity of the mosques of Malaysia.
If you haven't been to Asia before, and are not sure of where you would like to
visit. Go to your nearest large city and seek out the areas of each Asian
population. For example in Toronto (where we live), we can find Chinatown,
Little Vietnam, Little Korea etc. Start there and see what looks interesting and
you would like to experience more of.
Otherwise we have some Asia Vacation Ideas that might interest you.
So sit back, relax, grab a coffee or tea, and check out some of the options for
your romantic or family Asia vacation!
Asia Vacation Idea -
Hong Kong, China
Hong Kong is a
great place to visit if this is your first visit to Asia. It is so
easy to get around, and many people speak English.
We found it a great starting point in Asia. In fact, we even said that
we will make sure that we start our trips to Asia in Hong Kong. It is a great
place to transition from Western culture to Eastern culture.
Since Hong Kong was ruled by the British until 1997, and China has
agreed to allow Hong Kong to be governed and remain the same for 50 years after,
it is also a great introduction to China.
Whether you are looking for a romantic or a family vacation there is
something for everyone in Hong Kong!

A Romantic Asia Vacation in
Macau
Most people think of
Macau China as "the Las Vegas of Asia", and in many
ways it is. However it is also so much more.
We would not recommend Macau as a family destination, unless you are
doing a day trip. It is however a lovely romantic destination.
A former Portuguese Colony, Macau offers casinos, world class dining,
the Macau Tower
adventures of bungee jumping and sky walking, the beautiful history and
culture, and of course those awesome egg tarts and almond cookies (to
be fair we loved the almond cookies but not the egg tarts too much).
Macau is a beautiful and exciting romantic destination. If you are in
Hong Kong then you can do a day trip or take a couple of days to really
experience Macau and the excitement.

Thailand -
A Great Family or Romantic Asia Vacation
Are you looking to relax, find adventure, go scuba diving, stay
in luxurious resorts, or a villa on the beach, then Thailand will
fit your Asia vacation.
Couples and families alike, can find pretty much
anything they may be looking for in a vacation at any budget level.
Thailand is incredibly romantic as you will find world class spas,
beaches and restaurants. Warren and I spent a week in Phuket enjoying the Spa
and a Villa at the Banyan Tree Phuket. It was one of our more romantic
weeks together!
Thailand is also extremely family oriented with it's beaches,
activities, and of course the elephants. The Thai people are very family
oriented and
absolutely love children. They welcome them with open arms pretty much
anywhere.
You can choose from the excitement and chaos Bangkok or the
serenity of the miles and miles of beaches. The culture of Chaing Mai or the
quiet of Koh Samui. Or if you are looking for excitement and quiet then
Phuket may be your island of choice.
There really is something for everyone in Thailand.
