Best Way to Travel Asia (Flights vs Trains vs Buses)

There is no single best way to travel Asia. The ideal transport method depends on distance, country, and infrastructure.

General Rules of Thumb:

• Flights: Dominate long-distance travel and island hopping.
• Trains: Excel in East Asia (Japan, China, Korea) and specific routes in India/Vietnam.
• Buses: Essential in Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Laos, parts of Thailand).

Planning without understanding regional differences leads to unrealistic itineraries.
