Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia, or Southeastern Asia, is a subregion of Asia, consisting of the countries that are geographically south of China and Japan, east of India, west of Papua New Guinea, and north of Australia.

        The countries that include in Southeast Asia are Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Brunei and Timor-Leste.
The region's economy greatly depends on agriculture; rice and rubber have long been prominent exports. Manufacturing and services are becoming more important. An emerging market, Indonesia is the largest economy in this region. 

        The climate in Southeast Asia is mainly tropical–hot and humid all year round with plentiful rainfall. Northern Vietnam and the Myanmar Himalayas are the only regions in Southeast Asia that feature a subtropical climate, which has a cold winter with snow. So that means you can visit almost all countries during February to May because that is the time where there is very little rainfall.


        Because I live here in Southeast Asia, here in the Philippines, I can give a lot of examples to visit...

Some things to see and do in Southeast Asia:

        Philippines:
     
        Boracay

        Boracay Island in Aklan is famous for its pristine waters and white sand beaches. It became a tourist spot in the 1970's and also became famous from the American movies filmed there. It is now one of the top beaches around the world.


        
        Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park

        The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park or Puerto Princesa Underground River is one of the New 7 Wonders of the World in 2012 and declared a UNESCO Heritage site in 1999. It is a very famous tourist attraction here in the Philippines and a lot of tourists visit the river everyday. During the tour, the best thing is the part when your boat enter cathedral-like cavern and it also has a rock formation of the Holy Family! It's a must visit site for tourists in Palawan!

        Thailand:

        The Grand Palace

         The Grand Palace complex was established in 1782 and it consists of not only royal and throne halls, but also a number of government offices as well as the renowned Temple of the Emerald Buddha. It covers an area of 218,000 square metres and is surrounded by four walls, 1900 metres in length. After King Rama I ascended to the throne in 1782, the palace was built. Prior to this, the royal palace and centre of administration had been located in Thonburi, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River.

         (translated into Filipino)

Ang Timog Silangang Asya, o Southeheast Asia, ay isang subregion ng Asya, na binubuo ng mga bansa na nasa timog ng heograpiya ng Tsina at Japan, silangan ng India, kanluran ng Papua New Guinea, at hilaga ng Australia.

 
Ang mga bansang kinabibilangan sa Timog Silangang Asya ay ang Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Brunei at Timor-Leste. Ang ekonomiya ng rehiyon ay lubos na nakasalalay sa agrikultura; ang bigas at goma ay matagal nang naging kilalang pag-export. Ang paggawa at serbisyo ay nagiging mas mahalaga. Ang isang umuusbong na merkado, ang Indonesia ang pinakamalaking ekonomiya sa rehiyon na ito.

Ang klima sa Timog Silangang Asya ay pangunahing tropiko-mainit at mahalumigmig sa buong taon na may maraming pag-ulan. Ang Northern Vietnam at ang Myanmar Himalayas ay ang tanging mga rehiyon sa Timog Silangang Asya na nagtatampok ng isang subtropikal na klima, na mayroong isang malamig na taglamig na may snow. Kaya nangangahulugang maaari mong bisitahin ang halos lahat ng mga bansa sa panahon ng Pebrero hanggang Mayo dahil iyon ang oras kung saan may napakakaunting pag-ulan.

Dahil nakatira ako dito sa Timog Silangang Asya, dito sa Pilipinas, marami akong ibibigay na halimbawa na puwedeng bisitahin ...

Ang ilang mga bagay na makikita at gawin sa Timog Silangang Asya:

Philippines-

Boracay

        Ang Boracay Island sa Aklan ay sikat sa mga malinis na tubig at puting baybayin nito. Naging tourist spot noong dekada 1970 at naging sikat mula sa mga pelikulang Amerikano na kinukunan doon. Ito ay isa sa mga nangungunang beach sa buong mundo.

        Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park

Ang Puerto Princesa Subterreanean River National Park o Puerto Princesa Underground River ay isa sa New 7 Wonders of the World noong 2012 at ipinahayag na isang site ng UNESCO Heritage noong 1999. Ito ay isang tanyag na atraksyong turista dito sa Pilipinas at maraming turista ang bumibisita araw-araw. Habang linilibot ang kuweba, ang pinakamagandang parte ay kapag ang iyong bangka ay pumasok sa loob ng kuweba, mayroon din itong isang rock formation ng Banal na Pamilya! Dapat itong bisitahin ang site para sa mga turista sa Palawan!

        Thailand-

        The Grand Palace

Ang Grand Palace complex ay itinatag noong 1782 at binubuo ito hindi lamang ng mga maharlika at trono ng mga bulwagan, kundi pati na rin ng isang bilang ng mga tanggapan ng gobyerno pati na rin ang kilalang Templo ng Emerald Buddha. Saklaw nito ang isang lugar na 218,000 metro kuwadrado at napapalibutan ng apat na dingding, 1900 metro ang haba. Matapos umakyat si Haring Rama sa trono noong 1782, itinayo ang palasyo. Bago ito, ang maharlikang palasyo at sentro ng pamamahala ay matatagpuan sa Thonburi, sa kanluran ng Chao Phraya River.
