Totally missed out on West Asia. Jordan, Lebanon, and Oman all have some amazing underrated places

[khizar]

That was more of a "East Asia"

I'm surprised that no Central Asian nation appeared on this list.

I think no.1 most diverse, beautiful and cheapest country in the world should be Vietnam because of these reasons: Vietnam is just a small countries but it has many records: the biggest cave in the world (Hang Son Doong), most beautiful waterfall in Asia (Ban Gioc waterfall), the deepest cave in SEA (Hang Cống Nước), the deepest gorge in SEA (Hẻm Tu Sản), the longest lava tube cave in SEA (Hang C7), most beautiful bay in the world (Ha Long Bay), steepest natural waterslide in probably the world (Tà Ngào waterslide), largest sand dunes in SEA (Mũi Né), the only and most beautiful volcanic island in mainland SEA (Lý Sơn island), and despite being a country in tropical region, Vietnam has snowfall every year in winter (Sapa).

Those places are really underrated, but as for Thailand, I think the province of Chaiyaphum is the most underrated place in the country!

The pictures have been altered and modified so much that they look like cartoons. I like to see things as they really are and not altered.

How does Laos architecture feel less Southeast Asia and more like Southeast France?

[noehahanji]

Most underrated, Bromo Mount, Indonesia

[dayangmarikit]

Should have added the rice terraces of the Philippines.

[luarbiasa]

Asia is so big, but 80% on this list located in Southeast Asia

Pakistan is the no 1 tourist destination of 2020. (Source: United States-based luxury and lifestyle publication Conde Nast Traveler)

I am not sure it is logical to compare small towns with provinces: for example, Busan is 300 sq. miles, Pai in Thailand is a small town, Gansu is a province of over 164, 000 sq. miles. It will take weeks or months to explore Gansu.

@mojotravels maybe you can spell out for us all these foreign locations. I search most or all of them based on the sounds of the foreign words sometimes to avail sometimes not
