Journeys Across Asia | May-June 2023

Before the summer season comes, this latest edition of NOW! Jakarta brings you some holiday inspiration! 'Journeys Across Asia' invites you to explore travel in the region, both home and abroad.

We love travels around Indonesia, and you should too, so we first take you from the surprising paradise only 45-minutes flight from Jakarta; then jump aboard a culturally-immersive train journey to Central Java. Then we head abroad, taking a 'Peek into Penang', explore 'Japan's Summer Festivals' and list out 'Hong Kong's New Bucket List'. Also, for the frequent flyers amongst you, we review the best airlines (based on each cabin category) in the world right now.

Outside of this, we speak to Petty Pandean-Elliott on her new book 'The Indonesian Table', share how bamboo bikes are revitalising a village, and showcase some new dining gems across the city. All this and more in our May-June Edition of NOW! Jakarta.

A print edition is available for those in Indonesia; please order yours by emailing us at nowjakarta@phoenix.co.id.
