The plantation in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, is really a fantastic place. Ideally located just behind the Royal Palace and the national museum, only 2 minutes walk away from the river front which is an amazing place to chill out. Since today and for a month, The Plantation is showing the work of the French Lacquers Eric & Thierry Stocker, from Angkor Artwork, as they often do to promote Cambodian Art and photography. This resort is definitively the place to stay in PP
Good finding on the Gaya Island. This is actually an unspoiled island off the coast of Sabah that is missed out by most of the holiday makers.
For visitors who are looking for a piece of tranquility and enjoy sun bath, this is the best island to visit in the region.

I’m surprised the Baros Maldives isn’t on this list. It’s the very epitome of luxury and comfort in the islands!
