The Top Ten

India

India, officially known as the Republic of India, is a country located in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area and the most populous country in the world, with over 1.4 billion people. It's also the most populous democracy in the world.... read more

I'm an Indian. I really feel very proud to be an Indian. I have visited many countries with my family like America, London, Paris, France, Greece, Switzerland, Malaysia, Dubai, Singapore,
Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong and etc. But they all have some negative points which is needed very importantly. Its an amazing country. New words have to discovered to describe and to appreciate this country. India... It is really a blessed gift from God. It is excellent at unity and humanism. Guys.. you are really wanted to read all the beautiful historical stories and also you should learn how the people like Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru have quest for India to get overcome from its problems. And my dear friends you should really visit India in your life. It is good at all the stuffs such as food, costumes, friendly behaviour, grand Hindu temples, entertaining places like beach, shopping malls with different designer things, equality with both men and women in all the stuffs like job, education and etc. Education.. it's really an important thing in one's life. India gave importance to give good education among girls and boys. If you visit once you might think why you won't be an Indian?! Historical monuments like Taj Mahal is very beautiful and there will be a beautiful story behind it. The Indian women will be so beautiful in appearance as well as in behaviour. They really love and take care of their family. So... I could say more bout India already I have said I have no words to describe and appreciate India! God bless India.
Japan

Japan is an island country in East Asia in the Pacific Ocean. It lies off the eastern coast of the Asian mainland (east of China, Korea, and Russia) and stretches from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and near Taiwan in the southwest.... read more

I travel all over the world and have been a few places twice or three times. But I have visited Japan 13 times! It is addicting and beautiful.
Amazing modern cities AND beautiful and serene Temples and Shrines. It is very easy to travel around the country with its very fast trains. You can Visit Tokyo and feel like your in the future, then turn around and head to Nikko or Nara and feel like you have been transported to the era of the samurai. It is a very clean country with excellent food that is fresh.
I am going again next year for Sapporo to see the beautiful ice carvings in winter. You will encounter all four seasons in Japan, and seasons are important here so festivals for each abound and each season feels like it should.
The autumn leaves are gorgeous, the cherry blossoms sublime and the summer is warm and sunny. Osaka, Nara, Yokohama and Ueno(in Tokyo) are my favorite places in Nihon!
Philippines

The Philippines, officially the Republic of the Philippines, is an archipelagic country in Southeast Asia. It is situated in the western Pacific Ocean and consists of around 7,641 islands, broadly categorized under three main geographical divisions from north to south: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.... read more

Philippines should be no. 1 because the people are so fluent at speaking English, the beaches are lovely and relaxing. They are so talented and I love their Halo-Halo and their adobo. Therefore it is very hot and humid but I prefer it to cold weather. Japan, China and South Korea is a tie for 2nd place but it gets way to cold. Also, India should be no. 3 because it is so crowded and its full of pollution so surely Philippines should be number 1 also, last thing I recommend Microtel Hotel Palawan because its on the beach and the beds are comfy, they have a really good swimming pool. My mum is a Filippina and the girls in Philippines are so hot! I am from England, but I recommend This country out of all the Places I've been to.
China

China, officially the People's Republic of China, is a country in East Asia. It is the world's second-most populous country, with a population exceeding 1.4 billion people. China spans five geographical time zones and shares land borders with 14 countries, second only to Russia in the number of neighboring... read more

Nothing can beat China... Temples all over the world cannot compare. The exotic feel of not understanding the language, yet, finding people that are always willing to help. The Great Wall is out of this world, but so is the modern and vibrant Shanghai. Xi'An is in a league of it's own, culture, China's roots and the best food ever (just stay away from the dogs! ). Japan and Korea seem a little boring after you've experienced this kind of life, food, colors, culture and beautiful chaos. As a westerner, there's nothing else I could want in an Asian country that I did nor find in beautiful China.

I have travelled the whole world, for those who have picked below or above have no true explanation. China is beautiful. From Beijing to Shanghai there's no place better than visiting China. I am an Australian that now lives in the United States. I went to Japan and South Korea once I was in Year 7 and recently finished school visiting China. Nothing beats China
Thailand

Thailand, historically known as Siam and officially the Kingdom of Thailand, is a country in Southeast Asia located at the center of Mainland Southeast Asia. It spans 513,120 square kilometers (198,120 sq mi) and has a population of almost 70 million. The country is bordered to the north by Myanmar and... read more

The best country in the wold!
Beautiful beaches and people. Best food and excellent hotels.
Many things to do and places to visit.
Never feeling boring.
Visit Thailand any time of the year.

Beautiful beaches, very polite people, tropical climate, good food, great shopping and great night life. Anything you need will be catered for. What more could you ask for?.

I personally like China more, but considering I like chili food and beaches more, I voted this! And the down-to-earth lifestyle is also what I prefer.
Pakistan

Pakistan was established in 1947 and is located in South Asia. Islamabad is the capital city of Pakistan. Karachi, Lahore, and Peshawar are other major cities. Urdu and English are the official languages of Pakistan. The world's second-highest peak (K2) and ninth-highest peak (Nanga Parbat) are located... read more

I am actually from USA but loved my three weeks trip to Pakistan along with my wife. Pakistan has got all sort of land I.E. plain land, desserts, mountains etc.
We had a lot of good time doing Ice Skeeing. Karakouram mountains which includes world's second larget peak K2 was mind blowing. Places like Naran and Kaghan gives the picture of heaven on earth.
Also visit Wadi e Neelam (land of Neelam) on our way to Kashmir. Skardu and Gilgit are one of the most beautiful and peaceful places we have ever seen. We also visited Interior Punjab and Sindh where we explored the typical and traditional village life along with Dessert of Choulistan. Above all we stayed in cities like Islamabad, I must say that at least it is my dream city to live in.
No matter what media tries to portray, I love Pakistan, her culture and people. Good and bad people are everywhere and we should not generalize them. I highly recommend to visit Pakistan specially in summer season.
ENJOY!
Vietnam

Vietnam, officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. It shares land borders with China to the north, Laos and Cambodia to the west, and has a long coastline along the South China Sea to the east.... read more

Fine Vietnamese cuisine is well prepared, has good food, tastes good, and isn't just presented for show.
In Vietnam, there are many beautiful natural landscapes. Vietnamese people are friendly, and there is no racial discrimination. Vietnam is one of the countries that retain traditional values in Asia.
Vietnamese people have a natural beauty that combines classic and modern qualities, and most have good personalities.

Traveled for 4 weeks with my 14 year old daughter last summer. The best country to travel if you are NOT on the budget. Let me explain...It made the most sense for us to splurge with the 5 star hotels for a fraction of what we would pay in my own country (Canada) and it was all worth it. If you wanna travel cheap in Vietnam, be ready for poor living conditions/accommodations which often ruin your travel due to the lack of sleep and noise (Vietnamese people have no sense of quiet). Anyhow, people are wonderful wherever you go in Vietnam! Food is amazing!
South Korea

South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea (ROK), is a country in East Asia, constituting the southern part of the Korean Peninsula and sharing a land border with North Korea. Its western border is formed by the Yellow Sea, while its eastern border is defined by the Sea of Japan. South Korea claims... read more

Like Japan, it's a very technologically advanced country, but I would feel a bit uneasy there, the reason being, it borders with communist North Korea. The capital city, Seoul, is only 50 kilometres away from the border!

I think South Korea should go to he 3rd place instead of 7th because as I have went there, people in there are all nice and the foods are all so delicious with lots of scenery spots, too!

I Love South korea! very nice people uncle auntie!
I missed our tour guide name Mickey very polite everybody well entertained.
I love the food kimchi, spicy, yummy yummy.
I love this place...soon I'll be back promise
Nepal

Nepal, officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a sovereign state located in South Asia.
It is home to the famous Gurkhas, whose name comes from a small district in Nepal called Gorkha. The name Gorkha came from the legendary Indian sage Gorakhnath, who spent the later part of his... read more

Nepal is simply best, safe and people are polite and harmless. Avoid travelling to India or Pakistan or Bangladesh - no good idea very unsafe. If you want sea, go Thailand or whatever messed up southeast Asian country I don't care they are already so spoiled and filled with scams. If you have money travel Japan, Singapore or Dubai. If you want the best out of your limited travel budget, look nowhere simply come to Nepal and believe me you won't regret. Speaking from my experience. Last piece of advice, avoid China.

A small country which is very rich in cultural heritage, natural heritage. Tourists can visit mountains, hills, forests, rivers, lakes, it will surely blow their minds. All kinds adventurous sports are available in Nepal. And of course, Nepal is always crowded with mountain climbers who come to climb the highest peak Mt. Everest. You can find all kinds of religions here, mostly Hindus, Buddhists, Muslim and so on. It is also rich in wildlife resources, some of the rarest animals in the world are preserved in Nepal. A great place for tourists who seek for adventure and who want to enjoy the scenarios of the beautiful Himalayan Mountain ranges, hills, valleys, forests and ancient cities. The natural resources and cities were also featured in many video games like Uncharted and Farcry.
Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka, officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and known as Ceylon until 1972, is an island country in South Asia located to the southeast of India. It has a population of over 22 million people and covers an area of approximately 65,610 square kilometers. The country's capital... read more

Sri Lanka is a place where you can find hundreds of miles of fresh open beaches, misty waterfalls, mountains covered with tea plants, leopards wild elephants and other wild beasts in a safari, 2500 yrs old heritage. And people there are so friendly, you'll feel like home

Place to be.. Country is booming and the life is getting better and better. Hills, Nature, Beaches, History, Party and people are just amazing. Something we should never miss if you are living in this planet

Peaceful country
Good people
Different climates in the same country
Excellent roads with express ways
Nice city
No garbage in the roads as previous
New port & air port has been built.

The sprawling capital, Kuala Lumpur, is home to colonial buildings, busy shopping districts... read more

Malaysia is truly Asian. The foods are indeed delicious and rare such as nasi lemak, ketupat etc. Other than that, Malaysia has a beautiful green scenery and the cultures/traditions are admirable! There are so many places to explore, not to mention, the first Legoland in Asia was at Malaysia. I am not a Malaysian myself but I've been there a week ago and it was the best country I have ever visited, if any of you are interested in visiting, I'd recommend you to go for the Zoo Negara, Genting Highlands, Sunway Lagoon, Cameron Highlands, or Legoland.

Malaysia is definitely beautiful. Multiracial & multicultural country. Each states have their own dialect, foods, culture, festivals to discover. You can see the modern cities & skyscrapers, then at the same time, you can see the nature. Prestine beaches, islands & tropical rainforest awaits you. Indulge the local foods. Malaysian are friendly & most can speak English.

I am US citizen and been to Indonesia twice. Both times I visited Jakarta and I must say that the Indonesian people are the nicest I have ever met.
Indonesia will be my choice for relocation in a few years.
It is very diverse and the best of everything can be found here and it is affordable for anyone to visit.
I love Indonesia!

Hi great. This country has more than just the already famous destinations. Indonesia has Cartens National Park that is almost unknown to the foreigners as well as Indonesian. However, this national park has glaciers at 5000+ meters and down to shores and beaches. And everything in between. And, many more. Toyota Solo

It has great food, activities (LOTS), a very diverse culture (Chinese, Indian and Malay), its one of the safest and cleanest cities in the world, most locals can speak English and is very beautiful.

Yangon (formerly Rangoon), the country's largest city, is home to bustling markets, numerous parks and lakes, and the towering, gilded Shwedagon Pagoda, which contains... read more

There is no great country like Myanmar which is filled with kind-hearted people. In time of need, we share and care. Most people do not live in luxury but we have the peace of mind. If one wants to understand the essence of Buddhism, Myanmar is the destination.

Myanmar people are very polite, very kind and very warmly welcoming. Being rich in natural resources is also one of the most attractive reason to visit. You will feel different when you visit in Myanmar.

Myanmar is a beautiful country and many ancient pagoda there. Awesome experience, bask in the stunning view from a balloon over Bagan
Bangladesh

If you ever want to visit this country, then you better visit places like Cox's Bazar, Rangamati, Sundarbans, etc.
And even if you don't wanna go there, then you should either visit cities other than the capital city or visit villages. But visiting Dhaka will give a bad impression of Bangladesh. It's a very populated city. But it does look good when it's a national holiday since it's free to go anywhere.

Welcoming people, historic ruins, the Sundarbans, Cox's Bazar sea beach, vibrant Dhaka, and stunning nature make Bangladesh a top destination in Asia.
Cambodia

Cambodia is a Southeast Asian nation whose landscape spans low-lying plains, the Mekong Delta, mountains, and Gulf of Thailand coastline. Its busy capital, Phnom Penh, is home to the art deco Central Market, the glittering Royal Palace, and the National Museum's historical and archaeological exhibits... read more

Visit Cambodia beach, Sihanoukville! Cambodia has the prettiest beach and clean beach too with fresh air and safety as it's surrounded by other neighbouring countries.
For historical visit and sightseeing, visit Siem Reap for the Angkor what. It was listed in the 7 wonder of the whole world. The place is amazing and there are a lot of activities to do. It also has a place at the peak of the mountain for the best sunset view. And what I'll never forget is its Pub street that is full of fun. The whole street along has lots of food to choose from from asian to western food and its like the most fun and memorable place you ever went to. Don't forget the fish spa that is cheapest than anywhere and their massage! Super affordable and good services, everyone is super friendly and everything is affordable in Cambodia!
Last but not least, visit the capital, Phnom Penh for the city light that is filled with good food, local products shopping that is super affordable and pretty and safe to go everywhere :)
Hope you will consider visiting Cambodia one day and I promise you will love it
