Creator's Key Takeaways

So we started this journey in March when we flew into Koala Lumpa to uh stay for 2 months and to do our medicals.

If you are new to Southeast Asia, um Koala Lumpa and Malaysia in general is a good jumping off point.

I think for us, I would especially by the time uh we got to Singapore, I was kind of craving a little bit of quiet.

I think the favorite bit for me was the golden triangle. The whole Anantara being in that area.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Start in Kuala Lumpur if you're new to Southeast Asia.
βœ“Be cautious of scams in Bangkok, especially around bars and street beggars.
βœ“Consider breaking up a long Southeast Asia trip into smaller chunks to avoid fatigue.
