Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway or an adventure around S.E.A., here are 5 gorgeous places where you can fulfil your wanderlust and fill your Instagram feed at the same time using the Galaxy A7 and A9.

Pai, Thailand

Away from the main cities, Pai is a treasure trove of gems such as a rice field, a cave, and even a canyon.

Su Tong Pae, the Bamboo Bridge of Faith and Success

Spanning several rice paddies, this beautiful bridge is supposedly the longest bamboo bridge in Thailand. Instead of the usual green fields, the lush uniform green of rice fields will give your pictures a unique look and feel.

Tham Lod

This archaeological site has a rich history and is filled with geologic formations as well as birds, and swifts. This natural limestone cave system is best explored with a guide, a lamp, and your loved one.

The auto low-light mode of the Galaxy A7 and A9 makes sure that you’ll be able to capture all the details in the cave.

Kong Lan

With stunning geological and topographical features, this area was formed by continuous erosion over decades. Walk up to check out the beautiful scenery and the unexpectedly impressive views.

This is the best time to use your Ultra Wide Angle lens, so you capture the canyon as well as the dense forest that surround it

Ninh Bình, Vietnam

Also known as the Ha Long Bay on land, Ninh Bình has hundreds of limestone monoliths topped by dense greenery that emerge from the ground, scattered around the city with rivers flowing through them and caves formed in them. This almost secret location presents plenty of stunning photo opportunities to capture with your Galaxy A7 and A9.

Tam Cốc

Meaning three caves in Vietnamese, this area is part of the famous Trang An Landscape Complex UNESCO World Heritage site.

To witness the sheer beauty of this place, get on a boat and take a ride on the river that run through these natural grottos.

Hang Múa

Above the caves, is Hang Múa peak accessible via 489 steps which is similar to the architecture of the Great Wall of China.

Scale the mountain to be rewarded with 360-degree views of the Tam Cốc valley that you can easily capture with the Ultra Wide Angle lens. This is one location that will take your breath away in more ways than one.

Bai Đính Pagoda Complex

Without a doubt, Bai Đính pagoda is masterpiece of both nature as well as man, and it is the pride of Vietnamese people in terms of unique architecture, culture, and historical value.

Marvel at the sheer size of this entire complex as you explore the expansive halls and be stunned by the grandeur of the statues, which this location is renowned for.

Cebu, Philippines

Touted as the perfect tropical escape with its pristine beaches and azure water, Cebu is teeming with truly picturesque encounters with nature waiting to happen. Furthermore, Cebu is also home to one of the most extravagant expressions of love in the world, the Temple of Leah.

Basdaku White Beach (Moalboal)

This kilometre long stretch of almost white sand and cerulean waters looks just like a postcard of paradise.

With waters in a blue that is only rivalled by the sky, you’re more than welcome to take a dive to get close to the wildlife when you’re not just soaking in the sun.

Kawasan Falls

This three-tiered cascade of crystal-clear waterfalls is the highlight of Barangay Matutinao which is located in the municipal of Badian.

The waterfalls have been awarded many times as the cleanest inland body of water in the country, so get your camera ready for some magical shots!

Temple of Leah

Dubbed as “Cebu’s Taj Mahal”, the Temple of Leah is a grand gesture of love from a husband to his late wife.

Inspired by ancient Roman architecture complete with Doric granite columns, this shrine holds the memory and treasures of Leah Albino-Adarn. Be transported to a whole new world as you visit the 24 chambers in the main structure of this opulent attraction.

Penang, Malaysia

An eclectic combination of tradition and modernity, Penang is a charming location for history buffs and the travel photographers. It may be Malaysia’s second largest city, but its old town centre retains a rustic charm that is unique only to Penang.

Jawi Peranakan Mansion

Beautifully and painstakingly restored, this Anglo-Indian mansion is one of the latest boutique hotels to open in Penang.

Be mesmerised by the intricate motifs, and the delightful courtyard. Then be enchanted by the authentic brass decorations and lattice panels together with the carved ancient wooden arch in the dining room. Photo opportunities are abound even before you explore the outside.

Avatar Secret Garden

This parallel universe doesn’t in any way resemble Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park; Pandora. However, this World of Avatar, dubbed Penang’s Avatar Secret Garden, can only be described as a neon fantasy.

Apart from colourful LED incandescent rope lights, there are other stunningly-lit photography spots that you can easily capture in full detail with your Galaxy A7 and A9.

Pantai Kerachut Beach

This lovely stretch of white sand is located in the Penang National Park, with a jetty that gives you even more awesome views of the horizon. (Plus, you can really get creative with some fun shots too.)

There’s also a very rare meromictic lake here, where it has a layer of salt water and a layer of fresh water which don’t mix.

Medan, Indonesia

Plenty of tourists give Medan a quick pass, thinking that it’s just another big city in Indonesia. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Known for its diversity, there are plenty of attractions that will whet your appetite for more.

Sipiso Piso Waterfall

This plunge waterfall in the Batak highlands of Sumatra, Indonesia is formed by a small underground river of the Karo plateau that exits a cave in the side of the Lake Toba caldera.

Whether you’re on the eastern rim of the crater or 120m below at the base of the waterfall, be ready to capture priceless shots for your Instagram feed.

Bukit Indah Simarjarunjug

Another incredible vantage point where you get to enjoy views of Lake Toba, this hill takes “a fresh perspective” to a whole new level, literally.
