My Favorite Destinations in Southeast Asia

By Joshua Berida On July 11, 2021 In Vietnam

Southeast Asia is the region I was able to travel around in for a month or so. It kick started my wanderlust. I remember my first trip to Bangkok several years ago. My experiences there led me to the conclusion that I wanted to travel as much as possible. Being from the Philippines also made traveling around the region possible and easy (Filipino passport holders don't need a visa to visit countries in Southeast Asia).

Here's a list of my favorite places in Southeast Asia (excluding my home country the Philippines) in no particular order.

The Temples of Bagan

By Joshua Berida On September 25, 2013 In Travel

Bagan has been on my mind since I saw pictures of it online. I wanted to experience walking inside and climbing up its temples.

I took the overnight regular bus from Yangon to Bagan for 15,000 kyats. Since the bus station was far from the city, I hired a cab to take me to the station for another 7,000 kyats. The bus was ok and cold at night. There was a stopover at a local restaurant for dinner and bathroom break. There was also a free water bottle and toothbrush for passengers. The 9-hour ride passed by quickly, I was now in Bagan.
