Southeast Asia travel deals
Travel returning to nearly full capacity may mean increased flight prices, but that doesn’t need to stop you from getting your vacay fix. Luckily, there are ways to cut down on travel expenses while still getting the most out of your getaway, whether it’s through saving on accommodation costs or searching for cheaper attraction and activity bookings.
The next time you find yourself hunting for good travel promos, make use of the many Southeast Asia travel deals available on Klook. You’ll get to explore nearby cities around the region – like Da Nang and Langkawi – on a budget.
From island-hopping to riding the world’s longest water tube slide, here are the best activities and attractions you can opt for on your mini getaway in the region:
1. Play with elephants & visit a nature theme park in Chiang Mai
Get in touch with nature when you travel to Chiang Mai, Thailand by visiting an Elephant Jungle Sanctuary (from S$50.45/pax). If you’re an animal lover, you’ll absolutely love getting up close and personal with the elephants here, with the chance to feed, play, and even bathe them. Plus, you’ll get to learn about elephant conservation during this experience and get a chance to donate to the cause.

You’ll also be in for a unique theme park experience at the forested Pong Yang Adventure Park (from S$5.35/pax). Unlike the regular amusement parks we’re familiar with, this one has a jungle coaster amidst the forested area, and high-adrenaline attractions like ziplines.
To tie the trip together, we recommend staying at 99 The Heritage Hotel (from S$88.97/night), an affordable boutique hotel with all the necessary amenities like a pool, bar, laundry services, and complimentary breakfast – including continental, American, Asian and vegan options.
While you’re here, don’t forget to add adventurous activities in Chiang Mai such as hot air balloon rides and water rafting to your to-do list.
2. Explore the ancient town of Hoi An & Da Nang’s famous attractions
