Southeast Asia seems like a rite of passage destination for most twenty-somethings these days, whether it be on a pre or post Uni gap year travel around Indo China, or for an extended break to Thailand. The amazing weather, top class nightlife and incredible value for money once you’re there are the key draws, but it’s also a ripe destination for a surf trip.
