So, it\'s been 6 months since the lockdown started in almost the whole world, and most of us, stayed at home. I personally stayed in my apartments in Singapore for 4 months with wife & kids. But... life moves on, and now voyagers like me who wants to visit new places have started searching for destinations to visit, during COVID 19. (But with utmost precautions)
I haven\'t been out of Asia since my last trip to Stuttgart, Germany in Jan\'2020, but I was lucky to visit 2 places after April, and have added one more destination in my bucket list which I will visit in October, for which I am sure that I might have to cancel it at the last moment. So these 3 destinations are:
1. Krabi, Thailand.
Krabi is a beach town in southern Thailand and is like a sister city to the world famous beach city of Phuket. COVID situation is almost zero in Thailand. I am living here since the last 2 months and there have been like 0 cases here. Almost all the COVID cases that are coming in Thailand are all from the international Airports and even those are quickly dealt. So all of this makes Thailand the safest & most awesome destination to visit, and especially the town of Krabi which is a heaven for beach lovers.
Checkout more details on Krabi at tourismthailand.org, which is an official Thai tourism board.
2. Angkor Wat, Cambodia
Anyone who has ever plan a trip to all ASEAN countries will definitely know about Cambodia\'s Angkor Wat. Now I have not added this UNESCO world heritage site because it\'s famous among traveller, absolutely not. If that would have been the reason then I would have Added Taj Mahal in Agra, India.
I added Angkor Wat as Cambodia, till date has seen zero morality in COVID 19 era and total cases here are less than 300. So if you are in Thailand, you can plan a road trip here as all ASEAN countries are connected via roads, and its much cheaper than flights.

3. Abu Dhabi, UAE
Yeap, the city whose sultan owns Manchester City club. Now COVID condition was in some bad shape at UAE, but now it\'s a bit control. The sad part for UAE was that it was organizing an amazing global trade fair in 2020 which isn\'t happening now. But still the tourism board here is working very positively to bring back travellers to UAE, and as a part of this initiative, I will be trying to visit Abu Dhabi via a direct flight from Thailand in October.
Abu Dhabi offers not just a city tourism aspect, but also an outdoor desert tourism opportunity, where you can enjoy desert safari, ride quad bikes on dunes and spend night at a desert camp or resort, which is an stunning experience. The best time to visit UAE is from October to March & you can get more details on Abu Dhabi tourism from visitabudhabi.ae
So these are my favourite 3 destinations that you can visit in 2020, and I hope the the COVID pandemic comes to an end soon, as its really hurting tourism industry around the globe. #Staysafe
