\/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bleak skies, drizzly winds, occasional bouts of snow \u2014 winters in London are always cold and rainy, with the temperatures in December and January averaging between a high of nine degrees and a low of five degrees. With trees shedding their autumn leaves and the afternoon sun beginning to dip earlier, the realisation that winter is settling over London pushes many to make holiday plans abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Yvonne Hobden, Head of Retail Marketing at Flight Centre, told\u00a0<em>Voice of London<strong>:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>&#8220;At Flight Centre we know that winter holiday preferences vary from city breaks to sunshine holidays the whole family can enjoy. As the winter holiday season is now upon us, our experts have seen more requests for the holidays to the Carribbean and Thailand, as Brits look to avoid the colder months, and European Christmas markets and New York for those who want to embrace the festivities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The latest facts and figures from the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/peoplepopulationandcommunity\/leisureandtourism\/articles\/traveltrends\/2017#uk-trips-abroad-and-visits-to-the-uk-continue-to-rise\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Office for National Statistics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> show that UK residents took 72.8 million trips overseas in 2017, a 29% increase since 2012. Spain, France, and Italy are the most popular travel destinations for UK residents, but if you\u2019re hoping for some sunnier skies and have the extra money to make this happen, here are three Southeast Asian countries that give winter a warmer vibe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Boracay, Philippines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">South of Manila is the tiny island of Boracay, which is seven kilometers long and one kilometer wide. Though the entire island can be traveled in a single day, there\u2019s no shortage of things to do or see. Boracay is home to 13 pristine beaches, the two most famous being White Beach and Bulabog Beach. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">White Beach epitomises the idea of a perfect day at the beach with its powder soft sand and crystal blue water. Its different sections span between vibrant restaurants and shopping districts, to more tranquil spots outfitted with greenery \u2014 making it perfect for relaxation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re looking to island hop, it typically kicks off from White Beach. For the right package (around \u00a330 per person), you can go from island to island with activities like sightseeing, snorkeling, swimming, cliff jumping, fishing, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are more than a few bars and fresh seafood restaurants down by the beach, but for a wider variety, head down to the Street Market food hall, which caters to seven unique food concepts. Here you\u2019ll find tacos, buttermilk fried chicken, fish and chips, yakitori, nasi goreng, curry crab, pizza, bingsu and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[googlemaps https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1fOKQZpYgWkU8H1ls5e1G7YohadLURO2H&amp;w=640&amp;h=480]<\/p>\n<p><b>Siem Reap, Cambodia<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re not looking for the classic beach holiday, Siem Reap offers you an option rich with history. Its close proximity to the temples of Angkor, which are often considered a Wonder of the World, makes it a popular travel destination. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With around 50 different Buddhist and Hindu temples to visit in the Angkor complex, it is highly recommended to buy a three day (\u00a348) or seven day (\u00a356) Angkor National Park pass and join a guided tour for at least one of those days, to ensure you see the main temples. (Bonus fact: Tomb Raider was filmed at the Ta Prohm temple, which has been left untouched by archaeologists and is slowly being overcome by the roots of enormous trees.) <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A little outside of Siem Reap lies Old Market, in the heart of town, where you can find a glimpse of authentic Cambodian culture among the different stalls teeming with food, arts, and life. This is the perfect place to try some traditional Khmer cuisine, which is rich in herbs, flowers, pickled vegetables, dipping sauces and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also outside of Siem Reap you can find the floating villages of traditional fishermen on the Tonle Sap Lake. It\u2019s not so much an interactive activity as it is a good way to observe how part of Cambodia\u2019s economy is built on its ecological resources. Alternatively, you can take a canoe ride (typically paddled by villagers) into the dense mangrove forest for some stunning scenery. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[googlemaps https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1Cx9ZYnbY68OWuXxe75JuvEXwOM3-RJ4B&amp;w=640&amp;h=480]<\/p>\n<p><b>Singapore<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes there\u2019s nothing more therapeutic than a good afternoon out to \u2014 as Tom and Donna on American sitcom Parks and Recreation might say, \u2014 \u201ctreat yo self.\u201d So head to Singapore for something more upscale and modern. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Check out Singapore\u2019s equivalent to London\u2019s Oxford Street, Orchard Road. It\u2019s full of local and international department stores, featuring both luxury and more familiar mainstream fashion brands. The sparkling lights strung up along the streets bring a bright, festive touch to the winter evenings. As a cultural hub, Singapore also boasts a wide variety of restaurants, from Western to Southeast Asian cuisine. (Tip: Check out the food court in Takashimaya Plaza on Orchard Road and the riverside restaurants and pubs at Clarke Quay in the evening.)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For some recreational fun, spend a day at Sentosa, down at Harbourfront. A one day pass to Universal Studios Singapore is S$76, but further into the island you can find activities like indoor skydiving or the skyline luge, or a beach area teeming with different water sports and refreshing bars and restaurants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re looking for a less rigorous day out, enjoy the tropical beauty of the Botanic Gardens, which has been honoured as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The quiet ambience and shade makes for a lovely afternoon walk. Newer and more futuristic are the Gardens by the Bay in Marina Bay, which feature architectural, technological and natural marvels. One of the attractions at the Gardens by the Bay made famous in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Crazy Rich Asians<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the Supertree Grove, will be lit up this winter for a Christmas Wonderland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[googlemaps https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1G_ced8R1noKLtAYb8hSVdKM9BeiCOeXp&amp;w=640&amp;h=480]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, not all of us can afford exotic getaways for the holidays, but there\u2019s still plenty to do in London, too. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/thevoiceoflondon.co.uk\/beautiful-christmas-photos-of-london-and-where-to-take-them\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The lights<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are beginning to go up, which makes for great photo ops, and there are <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/thevoiceoflondon.co.uk\/10-best-christmas-concerts-and-map-for-2018\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Christmas concerts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to look forward to, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Featured image: Courtesy of Claire Chung<\/p>\n<p><b>Words, Maps, and Photography: Claire Chung | Subbing: Taylor Paatalo<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When temperatures drop, trips abroad made by UK residents soar.
