From Michael Aquino:

Southeast Asia has a lot to offer the discerning tourist: a pleasantly warm climate, ancient temples and palaces, dazzling beaches, unspoiled jungle pathways, vibrant cultures, delicious food - all at prices that will please backpackers and business-class travelers alike. While many destinations in the region are already regular tourist haunts, a large chunk of Southeast Asia (the most interesting parts, some might argue) remain unknown to all but the most adventurous travelers. We hope the pages and tools on this site will open your eyes to the full potential of a trip to Southeast Asia, so you can visit again and again and enjoy a different facet of the region each time you go.
