Where to go in May

May

The weather across much of Asia starts to shift. The first whispers of monsoon season creep into Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand, but it’s not all bad news… Bhutan is still a good option with lush green valleys and clear mountain views. Japan’s crowds thin out after cherry blossom season, making it a great time for a more peaceful visit. Indonesia is now basking in sunshine, and Vietnam’s central region is at its most scenic. In Sri Lanka, head for the East coast and Trincomalee’s wild and wonderful beaches.
