Southeast Asia over Xmas and New Years?
Question by Lou Barlow: Southeast Asia over Xmas and New Years?
We’re going on our honeymoon over the holidays. We’re planning on traveling through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. Our schedule is wide open. My question is, where would be the best place to spend Xmas and/or New Years in that part of the world? Has anyone been there at that time and would like to make some recommendations?

i would suggest you spend christmas & new year in the philippines. they have the longest christmas season & the shopping there would be fantastic. you can go to the beaches of boracay & palawan or bohol. nice eats , accomodations at a low budget price.

yes, gerry’s right!! most of the countries you mentioned are buddhist so their christmas is not that festive unlike here in the philippines, u can see a lot of chirstmas lantern displays on the streets and shopping malls, and most of the souvenir items are a bargain. aside from shopping, u can also visit one of the islands beaches and u can go scuba diving, snorkelling and island hopping.. it’s summer most of the year. i hope u will consider visiting us here
enjoy!
I spent New Years in Bangkok and it was roudy. We had a good time; but not sure if that would be good on a honeymoon. SaiGon for Christmas would be good. Quite a few christains in Vietnam and they do celebrate Christmas. I would pick Hue Vietnam; but that is because my wife is from there, for the holidays. They have 3 very large Catholic Churches and the town itself is very old and romantic.
Cheers and have a good time.
