diverse destinations

I
n our humble opinion, a holiday in Asia
should be on every Canadian’s list of
dream trips to take. The opportunity
to immerse oneself in another culture,
with all the tradition, food and sights it has
to offer, is one of the chief reasons to travel,
after all, and Hong Kong and Thailand—two
of Asia’s top tourist destinations—provide
that experience in spades. From incredible
luxury shops and world-class street food to
unforgettable historic sights and bustling
city centres, Hong Kong and Thailand both
excel at offering a well-rounded vacation
that will have you yearning for a repeat
performance. Here, we scratch the surface
and offer five highlights of these two
unbeatable ports of call.
