People's preference for holiday destinations is different, sometimes one's personality can be one of the reasons. People who tend to extroverts will probably choose a cheerful and lively place, while introverts may choose a quiet place. Here are some destinations in ASEAN that can be a reference based on your personality.
High energy: Singapore
You’ve never run out of battery, like the energizer bunny. Unlike the others, you only have one button, which is only On (Off button exists only when you really need to sleep). For people like you, Singapore is the place you crave. With its non-stop city entertainment, Universal Studio theme park, Casino, colourful street art in Haji Lane, cultural attractions, delicious dining scene, and famously the first Formula 1 racing in Southeast Asia, you won’t experience a second of a dull moment in this lively city.
You will hear locals speaking a variety of languages: Mandarin, English, Malay and Tamil adding vibes of experience to your journey. Completed with one of the most convenient public transportations in the world, Singapore won’t let your rest!
Introvert: Sapa, Vietnam
If you prefer to spend time alone with your thoughts than going out to meet with friends (if you have any), you might be an introvert. But worry not, Sapa could be your most wanted destination or even a friend (if you have none). This place is the perfect place for you to heal your soul, reset your life while experiencing local culture at the same time.
Located in the remote area of northwest Vietnam, Sapa is a very peaceful town. Surrounded by mountains, you can do touring rice paddies and visit traditional villages and hill tribes. With its scenic mountain views, and an extensive network of trails Sapa is prime for a solo expedition. Seeing the sunrise in the morning, spend hours of walking while enjoying quite a reflection of yours in the water, enjoying a good book with the extraordinary view of Sapa are also things you can’t miss.
Experiencing a new culture, especially when it has a beautiful story, is one of the ways to reset your mind. In this town, you can enjoy French colonial sites while the various ethnic tribes in the area often gather at the town market to sell their handicrafts, which make excellent souvenirs.
Adventurous: Komodo Island, Indonesia
You're always seeking for activities that pull you out of your comfort zone and be in the edge. Worry not! We have the right place for you.
Komodo Island, located in East Nusa Tenggara province in Indonesia, offers you a complete package to release your adventurous monster inside you. The islands are populated by thousands of giant ancient lizards known as “Komodo dragons” because of their appearance and aggressiveness. It’s known as a very dangerous reptile and these guys are a carnivore, so be really careful when you’re near them because they can run pretty fast, climb trees, and swim (a complete nightmare!).
This is the only place in the world where these lizards, the largest in the world, can be found. Although attacks are very rare, Komodo dragons have been known to attack humans. Not only the Komodos, the views on this island are breathtaking! Surrounded by beautiful mountains and beaches with savannas in the middle of it make Komodo Island the perfect place for adventurers.
Extroverted: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
You're known as the life of the party (almost in every occasion). You have many Whatsapp groups consist of a different groups of friends and more than 1000 followers on your Instagram. Kuala Lumpur is the place for you!
Kuala Lumpur is a bustling city that serves as the capital of Malaysia. This is the paradise for extroverts filled with more than enough unique attractions, Michelin-starred culinary delights, lively bars and clubs, and off-the-wall entertainment options to keep you constantly stimulated. You will see many international tourists coming to Kuala Lumpur 365 days a year!
The city never lacks of people and is a perfect place for you to mingle and get to know new people. You can enjoy the innovatively designed skyscrapers, including the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, the world’s tallest twin towers, the Bukit Bintang pedestrian bridge and tunnel that connects the downtown area, and many bars and clubs to fulfil your thirst of socialising with people.
Spontaneous: Bangkok, Thailand
Your way of life is to live in the moment and follow where the day takes you. You're carefree, courageous, and imaginative. In your eyes, the journey is what matters the most, while the destination has never been your finish line. Bangkok could be your best journey in a lifetime. It’s a “randomly-buy-a-flight-ticket” kinda city as you will almost never find expensive flight tickets to Bangkok.
Started out as a small trading post in the 15th century, the city has now grown into a city of eight million people with full of surprises. The capital of Thailand offers many surprises and photogenic objects, like the famous floating markets, Tuk Tuk the traditional transport, the city live, street foods, and temples. To give you another surprise, Thailand is also famous for its red districts, and Bangkok got one too to fulfil your spontaneous needs (if you know what I mean).
Laid-Back: Gili Island, Indonesia
Looking for a laid-back, peaceful escape? The Gili Islands are the answer. Consists of three small islands and situated in the northwestern of Lombok, Gili Islands offers you the most peaceful vacation you can ever imagine!
The islands are perfect for those who want to run away from a busy city life, forget all the hustle and bustle of modern life, and just enjoy the day without doing anything. Not like its neighbour island Bali, in Gili Islands, cars and motorcycle aren’t allowed. People are forced (but they are happy) to use horse carriages or bicycles to move around the island. Enjoying the endless sunshine and relaxing may be the primary activities here, but the islands are also famous for its diving and snorkelling spots.
