Skip Southeast Asia in May

What this episode covers

In this episode of HostelGO Guides, Ava and Marco dig into why May is arguably the worst month to backpack Southeast Asia — from Bangkok's flooded streets to cancelled ferries in Koh Phi Phi and inaccessible stretches of the Mekong Delta. They break down the real hidden costs of monsoon travel, including ruined gear, spiking food poisoning rates, and closed attractions, then pivot to the best alternative destinations across the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. From Nepal's blooming rhododendron trails to Cape Town's perfect safari conditions, this episode is your practical guide to making May travel work for you. Source: HostelGO Guides.
