Whether it is the hushed footsteps of monks ambling through a temple in Yangon, the zoom of mopeds in Ho Chi Minh City or the waft of street food peppered with aromatic spices in Bangkok, Southeast Asia begs to be explored from the ground up. Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Indonesia capture the senses as well as the imagination with their picturesque landscapes, solemn pagodas, deep spirituality and unique histories.
