Asia travel tips

What to know before you go

💳
Visa/Mastercard — accepted widely
Japan, Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong take cards everywhere, but Vietnam and Bali still prefer cash — keep some local currency on hand.
📱
eSIM — the easiest option for travellers
Buy an eSIM ahead via Airalo or Klook before you fly — cheaper than roaming and better than an airport SIM, and it can cover several countries in one trip.
🗓️
Book 2–3 months ahead
In Japan, Taiwan and Seoul, hotels are full and expensive during cherry-blossom season (Mar–Apr). Maldives resorts need 6+ months ahead for peak season.
🌡️
Climate — Asia is very varied
North Asia (Japan, Korea) has 4 seasons · Southeast Asia is hot and humid year-round with a monsoon · South Asia (Maldives, Sri Lanka) is best Nov–Apr.
🍜
Food — the highlight not to miss
Japanese ramen · Korean BBQ · Taiwanese xiaolongbao · Bangkok pad thai · Vietnamese pho · Malaysian nasi lemak — every country has its own street food.
🏨
Always compare prices before booking
Agoda is often cheaper for Asia · Booking.com is good for free cancellation · Book through Wherebest's links for the best price and our support.
