Confusing, right?<\/p>\n<p>Well, sort of. It&#8217;s actually a well-kept travel industry secret that travelling in the &#8220;quiet season&#8221; is one of the most rewarding travel experiences going. Not only are hotel and flight prices lower, but there are less crowds and more space to explore and really get under the skin of the country. Even when the weather is considered &#8220;bad&#8221; &#8211; a little bit of rain is actually a good thing in our minds, as it makes the beautiful scenery in Asia all the more lush, tropical and down-right breathtaking.
