Looking for new ideas? I always am!

Shouldn't stop dreaming right? Still many things to see, especially in this region. I am always open for suggestions and new ideas especially destinations away from the large tourist crowds. Places that are still high on my list are:
- Palawan (including Coron) in the Philippines
- Phu Quoc island in Vietnam
- Phan Thiet & Mui Ne for an easy beach vacation in Vietnam, altough the 4 hour drive from HCMC doesn't sound too inviting!
- Xian in Chian
- Myanmar / Burma, a friend is going there for Chinese New Year and cannot wait to find out more details
- Chiang Mai in Thailand

But you never know what else I come up with! New ideas pop up in my brain regularly. Another great resource is Travel & Leisure South East Asia. It's nice to picture yourself in exotic places. However, a lot of places (and ads) are more likely to be in the more touristy places and/or 5* resorts, but still, got plenty of suggestions on newer and less traveled destinations with hotels to match. It's a nice and relaxing read either way!

This Easter, we're travelling to Phnom Penh (2 nights), Kampot (1 night), Kep (3 nights) and back to Phnom Penh for 1 night in order to catch our morning flight back to Hong Kong. Loved Cambodia before, so looking forward to going again. Found some some nice and very affordable places to stay, nothing super fancy, but well reviewed and suitable for our needs, so will definitely report on that later.

Any other great suggestions, feel free to share!
