Where to go
Where to go for nature in November
Thailand, Vietnam, Maldives, Japan
- ThailandBangkok and Phuket. The Grand Palace and Wat Pho are the first pair, and Yaowarat is the night market after. Floating markets use more than one pier, so this plan does not pin them to a single stop.
- VietnamHanoi. The Old Quarter and the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum are the Hanoi pair. Ha Long Bay is an overnight cruise, not a neighborhood, and Ninh Binh is the rice-paddy day.
- MaldivesMalé. Malé is the arrival city. The days themselves are an overwater villa, a snorkel, diving, and a dolphin cruise on resort islands, not a walk around the capital.
- JapanTokyo. Shibuya, Harajuku, and Meiji Shrine are in Tokyo. Tsukiji and Ginza are another day. Kyoto, Mount Fuji, and an onsen are trips out of the city.
