We’re excited to present our cover story on Songkran, Thailand’s New Year Festival that is all about having splashing good fun. We’ve also included our Great Escape to
Nicaragua with travel secrets to a palmfringed Caribbean beach, dense jungles with smouldering volcanoes and storied colonial towns. Food is also largely on our minds this month, as we list down our top bars in the region and favourites from Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, take a cycling trip around Tasmania’s gourmet trails and feast on MICHELIN star goodness in Singapore. A short trip to Kansai in Japan has also revealed seasonal delectable among other things the region continues to astound us with.
