Look up the Country\u2019s Traditions\/Customs Before You Go<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When traveling to a new country for the first time, it pays to look up any local customs or traditions before you arrive. Otherwise, you could end up in an awkward situation where you accidentally end up offending the locals without even realising it. In Laos, for example, you should refrain from taking pictures of monks. Don\u2019t bear your teeth at monkeys in Indonesia, which is seen as a sign of aggression, and try not to expose any tattoos in Myanmar, particularly any religious or spiritual designs, as this can see you prosecuted. Mostly, it\u2019s a case of common sense prevails, be respectful of your surroundings and the people and you should be fine.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6408\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6408\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6408\" src=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Vietnam-and-Cambodia-luxury-holiday-package-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Vietnam and Cambodia luxury holiday package\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6408\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Anantara Hoi An<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Make_Sure_your_Phone_is_Unlocked_Before_You_Go_%E2%80%93_Local_Sim_Cards_are_Super_Handy\"><\/span>2. Make Sure your Phone is Unlocked Before You Go \u2013 Local Sim Cards are Super Handy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whilst it\u2019s not essential, I found it super handy to travel with an unlocked phone. This means that every time you land somewhere new, no matter where it is, you can purchase a local sim card and have all the call time and data you need within minutes. I try not to be on my phone too much when travelling in order to soak up my experiences, but you never know when you might need Google Maps, to WhatsApp someone, or to take that all-important Insta story. Wi-Fi can be limited in some countries in Southeast Asia, so I saw this as additional peace of mind.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Dress_Appropriately_for_the_Country_or_Situation\"><\/span>3. Dress Appropriately for the Country or Situation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As with researching customs and traditions before visiting a new country, it\u2019s wise to adhere to any dress codes and advice while you travel too. Malaysia, for example, is largely a Muslim country \u2013 so respect your surroundings and cover up where possible. If it\u2019s boiling hot, sticky, and humid, which it often is, I\u2019d recommend loose and floaty shirts and midi-length skirts, while a thin, floral shawl will be your new best friend. This essential item is also super useful for visiting temples anywhere in Southeast Asia where you\u2019ll need to have your shoulders covered, although you can pick up beautifully intricate, embroidered versions from local markets as cheap as chips.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7341\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7341\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7341\" src=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/le-thi-rieng-park-6-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"le thi rieng park\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/le-thi-rieng-park-6-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/le-thi-rieng-park-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/le-thi-rieng-park-6-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/le-thi-rieng-park-6.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/le-thi-rieng-park-6-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7341\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Lux Travel DMC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Stay_local_buy_local_meet_locals\"><\/span>4.

Buy local crafts, eat local food, stay in locally-owned accommodation. This is the best way to help you to have authentic experiences from your trip. The local people in Southeast Asia are very friendly. Each country has different cultures you can learn through the local people here.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Plan_your_holiday_well_with_the_travel_experts_in_Southeast_Asia\"><\/span>5.
