The beautiful, unique, fascinating and frightening are on display in Southeast Asia. The largest flower in the world blooms in Malaysia while tigers roam the temples of Thailand; elephants teach travelers in Laos while orangutans and gibbons swing from the trees in Indonesia; tiny tarsiers stare at us in wonder in the Philippines while dragons rule the island of Komodo; vibrant birds glide through the sky a mirror to the palette found on the jungle floors. Southeast Asia’s natural beauty is staggering.
