With more and more people crowding into the same hot spots across Southeast Asia, finding that untouched beach or genuine experience seems more difficult with each passing year.  Do not give up hope - many intriguing and relatively unknown places are patiently waiting for you to close the guidebook and start exploring.

While not completely devoid of tourists, these little-known destinations dotted around Southeast Asia rarely make the headlines.  Take advantage by planning a visit before the masses - which are sure to come - get word!
