Siem Reap, Cambodia

As a photography lover, Angor Wat is at the top of my list.

The famous Angkor Wat temples can be reached via Siem Reap. Both tourists and photographers enjoy visiting the temples, which are regarded as one of Southeast Asia's most significant archaeological sites.

Other cool photo spots are the nearby floating villages, the neighborhood markets, and the picturesque countryside.

Yangon, Myanmar

I have to admit I am not so comfortable with the idea of traveling to Myanmar.

But Yangon, Myanmar's largest city, is rich in culture and history. The city is home to the historic Shwedagon Pagoda, which is one of the country's most recognizable attractions.

Other famous shooting locations include downtown Yangon's colonial architecture, bustling local marketplaces, and the surrounding Inle Lake.

Hoi An, Vietnam

When I first planned to visit Hanoi, some of my friends asked me, "why would you go to Vietnam?" But they had no clue how stunning is the Halong bay.

I would love to revisit Vietnam, but this time to another city.

Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is famous for its well-preserved historic village. The city is well-known for its vibrant lanterns, traditional wooden buildings, and stunning beaches.

The Japanese Bridge, Hoi An Ancient Town, and the neighboring My Son Sanctuary are also popular photography locations.

Penang, Malaysia

A couple of my friends were living in Penang, and they always invited me to visit there. Unfortunately, Covid-19 messed with all my travel plans.

Penang is an island state in Malaysia. It is well-known for its beautiful beaches, delicious street food, temples, mosques, and rich cultural heritage.

The city is home to the popular George Town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Other popular photography spots in Penang include the Kek Lok Si Temple, Penang Hill and the Fort Cornwallis, to name a few.

Luang Prabang, Laos

I live in Thailand now, and Laos is a neighboring country. Luang Prabang in Laos is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is known for its well-preserved traditional architecture and cultural heritage. When I need a vacation away from the bustle of Bangkok city, I might go to Luang Prabang.

The city is famous for its beautiful temples, such as Wat Xieng Thong and Wat Mai, as well as the local markets. Other popular photography locations include the nearby Kuang Si Waterfall, the Phousi Hill and the Pak Ou Caves.
