We came a long way and now our destination is in Laos. I've face some minor obstacles on choosing the place.

I've been through a lot of problems both in my school life and personal. Yet, I need to clear these things off before I lose my mind, so welcome back to another ASEAN attractions. Today, I will lead you to "U Bein Bridge" in Mandalay, Myanmar. I first seen this bridge from the movie "From Bangkok to Mandalay" , which is one of my favorite film and it really is a good movie, a lot emotionals of course 😄. Well, it is a life-drama movie, also slight romantic beyond border of Thailand and Myanmar, but that's not what we focus on for today though, so let's find out the story behind this bridge together.

This will be my second blog about ASEAN attractions, and we're going to look at places that are less historical but more natural. Today we will go to Cambodia. As we all know, Cambodia is one of the most interesting and greatest historical sites in Southeast Asia. To my surprise, besides the Tonle Sap, there are also island, sea and beaches attractions in Cambodia. At first, I intended to choose Ta Prohm Temple as usual, but I decided to give this place to my friend instead. Because I have already written a story about Ta Prohm temple which is my favorite castle in Angkor Wat National Park. This time may I introduce you, "Koh Rong", Preah Sihanouk, Cambodia.
