It is located in the Celebes Sea off the east coast of Sabah, Malaysia. It was formed by living corals growing on top of an extinct volcanic cone that took thousands of years to develop. Sipadan is located at the heart of the Indo-Pacific basin, the centre of one of the richest marine habitats in the world. More than 400 species of fish and hundreds of coral species have been classified in this ecosystem. Sipadan Island was at the top of Rodale's Scuba Diving Magazine Gold List for 'The Top Dive Destination in the World'.[when?] In fact it shared its top spot with 2 other destinations known for the diversity of their marine life - the Galápagos Islands of Ecuador and Truk in Micronesia. Further more, one of the dive operators; Scuba Junkie was voted by the public the "Best Dive Resort in the World 2020" at DiveMagazine's annual Dive Travel Awards.

Just happened to stumbled upon your video a year after you posted it - I guess better late than never eh? Thanks for putting yourself out there, creating content about South East Asia (SEA). From you interviews, I must say that SEA has huge tourism potential to attract more people to come visit and tourists need to know how dynamic our cities are, how friendly & hospitable our people behave, and not forgetting the array of cuisines from street food to Michelin restaurants that are available from Singapore to Phillipines, Vietnam to Malaysia, Laos to Myanmar and Cambodia to Borneo. As it comes to safety - we not not any worse than any European cities and definitely NOT the worse in the world have seen. I am inspired already to do more for the SEA region, home to almost 670mil people + 1 (me) hahaa.!!!

[@noordinbeldenlex1620]

Even though Southeast Asia is in a humid region, many western tourists are attracted by the region's mysterious allure. Most cities in Southeast Asia combine colonial and native architecture, particularly those from the European countries that once conquered them. Due to the blending of eastern and western civilizations, ancient and modern elements, and current and traditional tastes, Southeast Asia is an extremely fascinating destination to travel to, especially for western travellers. Although having less historically significant and intriguing monuments than countries like Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Myanmar, and so on, Malaysia is still one of the most desirable travel destinations in Southeast Asia. This is due to the fact that Malaysia's population is made up of individuals from many different nationalities and coexists in harmony and peacefully. Due to its location in the centre of Southeast Asia and between two of the largest Asian countries, namely India and China, Malaysia serves as a hub for many Asian ethnicities who reside here. They brought and preserved their language, customs, and festivals, as well as their culinary culture, resulting in a vast variety of delicious meals in Malaysia. Malaysia is also able to draw visitors and residents from the Middle East since it has a sizable Muslim population. In fact, Malaysia is a convenient location to get all Asian cuisines, including those from Japan, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and other countries, in addition to international cuisine. For example, aside from Malay dishes, you don't need to travel to China to try Chinese food, India to enjoy Indian food, or the Middle East to sample Arab food. It is also easier to get around Kuala Lumpur because it is not as big and crowded as cities like Bangkok, Manila, Jakarta, and Ho Chi Minh City, and the distance is also not that far from one place to another. If you're more interested in peace and quiet, come to Malaysia. Traveling in Malaysia is like travelling around all of Asia because Malaysia is truly Asia.

[@philzslayer2566]

Malaysia is strong because of our unique and with unity comes our prosperity people's living in harmony and practice tolerance...This is the beauty and what makes Malaysia is truly Asia..

[@noordinbeldenlex1620]

@@philzslayer2566 - Malaysia may not only attract travellers and tourists, but it may also draw beggars from other countries. They are aware of Malaysians' good nature, generosity and propensity for empathy. In truth, Malaysia's reputation is damaged by the sheer number of beggars who take advantage of the opportunity to solicit alms in this country, especially when tourists cannot differentiate them with locals.

In my last visit they had popped up everywhere in CM. Rock that pink hat, baby. Maybe add it to your clothing line at Spring! Maybe you could wear something with you logo and subtly push it, maybe best comment wins a shirt or something? And no, 55, I am not angling for a free t-shirt. But seriously, have you ever tried that? Wearing some Champ merch and maybe spur some interest? I'm laughing at myself with my soon-to-start KZbin channel that I took the time to come up with a logo for shirts and gear, as if anyone will want it, but it is fun nevertheless. Actually, I came up with THREE logos, because I'm OCD I guess. I went with Printful though as I found Spring too hard to work with technically, and I read some great reviews of Printful products. So I will have well-made products that no one will buy. 555. Anyway, I bet you sell some merchandise now and again, so good for you.

I've been traveling to most Sout East Asia, except Brunei and Laos. My first trip was Cambodia and Vietnam in 2002. Bangkok is my favorite city, Indonesia has the most breathtaking nature & incredible beaches and to explore Indonesia is a never ending story😅, Cambodia was better before the Chinese took over the cities, Vietnam has a lot of cultural heritage & they have a warrior spirit which is admirable, travelling around Malaysia is fine since eveyone speaks english, Philippines is the cheapest & people are really really nice (wish i could say the same about their cuisine tho), Thailand is overall the best because of their street food, their beautiful country and polite and friendly people. And also, to the Spanish girl: I have been traveling solo in South East Asia since 2010 and as a female, I've never felt unsafe or anything like that.

Malaysia have very civilized politics in South-East Asia maybe that's why. Malaysia have high gdp per Capita, democracy index is also high.

Try to stay in the Philippines in that you will enjoy the nature like beautiful white sand beaches, mountains to climb and superb cities from the north to the south of the philippines.

Hay naku hayaan nyo na sila para hindi din malaspag ang pilipinas.

[@richardnuevo]

Tourists that frequented the Philippines are quality tourists meaning most of them are not backpackers and they tend to spend more and stay more.

[@BischannelYT]

sakin lang, Most western people go to exotic places which something different from their country. since Philippines is more western/hespanic they opt to go to Thailand or other SEA countries instead. yes, although we have beautiful beaches so does thailand plus they can easily cross country to cambodia-vietnam or malaysia-singapore. And I notice tourist doesn't care much if the local speaks english or not.

You were asking tourists (except for that Netherlands guy). They are more knowledgeable and open-minded about the other countries. I strongly suspect you'll get entirely different responses if you question the locals. Especially those that never or barely travels. I would hazard a guess that many of the responses would not even be publishable here.

[@Chai_Travel]

Hmmm interesting point of view. I gonna have to ask only locals next time :) thanks for your input

@@terra-xoxo No, as Vietnamese. I think mostly normal Netherlands will think Southeast Asia in first mind beside SINGAPORE would be Thailand & Philippines, special Thailand. I’m not bias anyone since I’m Southeast Asian myself too. 1) Pinoys have long history in US (because of colonial so they used to bough alots of Pinoys slavery in US & Hawaii in 1660-1700-1800) and nowadays alots of Pinoys working & live in us/western compare to others Southeast Asia group. And their country working hard to push their imagination very well - as one of most beautiful islands country where have thoundsand islands. Also Pinoys Beauty Contest is well-know too 2) Thailand is another hands - they use to be so famous when it’s come to travel spots & also in same times as RELIGION - Buddhist vibes. Thai also know as well by foods (pad Thai, tomyum & MANGO SWEET RICE) Not forget they’re one of first Asia countries who is very open-mind with ladyboy if compare to whole Asia continental

[@Chai_Travel]

It’s not about me in this video Tony. Most of the time I let the random people speak about their experiences and thoughts. This is the concept of most of my videos. This was not a video to educate what counties there are in SEA. This was a video to show what people from random places of the world think of SEA.

[@lecherhao86]

Browsing through some of the comments here, I reckon that we have to be fair about the responses in this video. Those are replies that I would typically expect of people living on the other side of the world. Whether the respondents are locals from the Netherlands or people in the western part of the world, I doubt they would know much about Southeast Asia unless they have actually travelled much to this of the world or they are generally interested in social-political affairs. The same applies if the interview were to be conducted here in Singapore where I'm from, I wouldn't know much about Netherlands other than its windmills and red light districts that I learnt in geography lessons. Netherlands doesn't seem to be famous for its food or technology or cultural products. I love Netherlands buildings and the natural scenery though from the videos that I come across. If you ask me where's the best tech in the world, I say Korea, Japan, China and the US. If you ask me where's the friendliest people in the world, I say Taiwanese, Malaysian, Thai and Fililpinos. So yah, I know Netherlands is rich like Singapore, education is just as good as Singapore, but that's pretty much I know. Chai has done a good job keeping the interviews as real as possible.

[@Chai_Travel]

Thanks for your input mate :D I'm glad to have you watching! 🏆 Cheers

[@steveman888]

I am glad as an Indonesian from Maluku , that Indonesia is not known...there , it is good though that the past "bad' history is forgotten by both the Dutch and as indonesian. We like to keep our country, culture, hidden paradise like places free from pollution and over crowding tourism that may spoil the nature and people like we have seen in Bali. Please do go to Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Singapore, they need all the tourism revenues after Covid. We are busy moving to our new capital , creating several new special premium destination islands for quality tourism, upgrading our modern infrastructure nowadays Visit us only later when things are getting better after 2028.

It appears that there might have been a misunderstanding. While discussing Southeast Asia, it's important to include Indonesia, the largest country in the region. Excluding such a significant country in interviews about Southeast Asia could be a bit perplexing.
