Fall Travel 2018: See the World’s Fall Foliage

As the intense heat of the summer simmers down, it is time to travel again. Here are 5 destinations for the fall travel 2018:

5. Bangkok & Northern Thailand

Fall travel in Southeast Asia is highly discouraged as it is the height of rainy season. It rains daily and typhoons pass through about once a week or so. However, in Bangkok and Northern Thailand, the rains tend to dissipate towards November making this the ideal time to visit these areas before the December holiday crowds.

4. New England, USA

For the best fall foliage in the U.S., plan a road trip through New England to experience the vast colors of the leaves. Drive through at least one of the states, such as Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine. Aside from the natural surroundings, don’t miss New England’s quaint small towns full of architecture and tradition.

Canada is another destination which grows more gorgeous in the fall with the vivid colors from the trees surrounding its landmarks and sights. In Quebec City, you can enjoy the wildlife, national parks, go fruit picking, or take a stroll in the historic towns and urban areas.
