Ranking Southeast Asia Countries | Tier List

I’ve spent close to 8 months travelling throughout Southeast Asia, and this is how I think each country ranks, tier list style.

If you are planning a trip to Southeast Asia, this video might just help you decide if you want to visit certain countries and how much time you may want to spend in each one. From the very popular Phi Phi and Koh Tao islands in Thailand to lesser visited places like Brunei and remote Indonesian islands, this tier list has you covered.

  1. hey man, thanks for sharing this, found this real useful! Do you mind sharing what places in Thailand you would visit if you had to work at the same time in February? I realize wifi might not be great.. Also, would you recommend visiting Bali in March? Thanks again!

  2. I went to Kuala Lumpur and I totally echo your statement about Malaysian Cuisine. Curry Laksa is still one of best dishes I have ever tried. It blew my socks off!!

  3. Your ranking is correct. It's very proportional to how developed the tourism industry of each of these countries are. The visitors' numbers also back up your rankings. If I were to do a ranking, I would do the same, and I'm a Vietnamese. We, Vietnamese, still have a lot to learn from the Thais on how to develop the tourism industry.

  5. Thailand is the goat. Amazing experience there. Food was some of the best I’ve ever had. Will 100% be going back to Thailand. Agrees koh tao was the best. Literal paradise. Biking around the island and snorkelling with sharks and turtles.
