As the first country in Asia to legalize gay marriage and home of the continent’s largest Pride festival, Taiwan is also one of Asia’s most underappreciated gems. With surprisingly dramatic coastal scenery, stunning national parks and hot springs, Taiwan is both a destination for nature and adventure as well as for culture. Its vibrant capital, Taipei, has an up-and-coming whisky scene, legendary street-food night markets and multiple bars and restaurants named in Asia’s Top 50 lists. JL Studio, Forchetta and Fleur de Sel in Taichung are amongst the 1 and 2 Michelin star winners. From cocktail-making in hidden speakeasies to hopping around sophisticated bars, the nightlife options Remote Lands can arrange are endless.
Suggested Itinerary: Classic Taiwan

Siem Reap is most famous for Angkor Wat, a 12th-century marvel of architecture and one of the great manmade wonders of the world. However, visitors to the ancient Khmer capital can venture beyond the temples to meet prominent residents such as our fabulous friend Eric Raisina. The Madagascar-born, Paris-educated fashion designer is one of Cambodia's expat superstars, and his unique silk designs make wonderful mementoes to bring home. For the ultra-luxe experience: explore Angkor Wat by helicopter and stay at the Bensley-designed Shinta Mani or the former royal guest house, Amansara.
