First-Time Asia
This is the book to read when you’re considering your first visit to Asia. The book covers 20 destinations in Asia, from Bangladesh to Vietnam, profiling each country’s main highlights as well as its more unusual attractions. You'll also find suggested itineraries, online resources, embassy and tourist information. Then come digestible chapters on the practicalities of life on the road, a section that also contains entertaining anecdotes from other travellers. The final chapter, Basics, is stuffed with contact information on everything from backpack suppliers to travel health clinics.
