Pick by what you want
🇮🇩 Choose Indonesia if
you want volcanoes, reefs and rice terraces for very little money, and you are willing to leave the busy south to find them.
🇰🇭 Choose Cambodia if
you want the most impressive ruin in Asia, and a country that is still cheap and still quiet once you leave it.
