A gap year favourite but south east Asia still has many pockets left under-explored. In this episode of Travel Smart, Benjamin Parker and Simon Calder give you a whistle-stop guide to Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore.
Simon explains what to see in Thailand's capital, Bangkok and Chiang Mai, before taking a look round the beautiful islands off the coast. Ben meanwhile takes a tour of Malaysia and the sights to see there, before Simon gives his guide to the urban sprawl of Singapore.
