Deciding where to go for a holiday can be pretty mind-boggling, but the choice is made much easier when you know when the best times are to travel to particular destinations. We give you the lowdown about when to visit those popular Southeast Asian destinations so that you’re not stranded in Koh Samui during the rainy season or in Bali during a monsoon. Here’s the essential I-S guide to when’s the best time to go where.

December to February

• Andaman Coast, Thailand. In January, you’ll get wonderful weather and clear water in a region renowned for its beautiful beaches.

• Bangkok, Thailand. November to March is the best time to drop by, with cool, dry weather. April is a no-no, as it’s super hot, and between July and October, heavy downpours and flooding are common.

• Manila, Philippines. February to April is great, as the humidity dips. Heavy rains start after that and continue through June to November, until the dry season. Give the city a miss on Good Friday, as the whole country practically closes down on that day.

• Penang, Malaysia. December to February are the best months to visit Penang as brief but torrential rains occur between April and May, and August and October.

• Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. The dry season between December and April is the best bet. November through March, and late January or early February are crowded periods, so avoid Ho Chi Minh then.

• Siem Reap, Cambodia. December and January are nice, cool months, while April and May are the hot months. Avoid those. Rain starts in June and continues through August and September—so don’t drop by then either.

March to May

• Bali, Indonesia. Best period is April to September, with less crowds and sunny weather. Avoid the west monsoon from November to March—it’s humid and drizzly.

• Donsol, Philippines. A fabulous time to visit is between February and May, when you can swim with 18-meter whale sharks.

• Koh Samui, Thailand. February to late June is a great time to visit, as it’s drier. Intermittent rain falls during July to October so avoid them, along with between October to January, when strong winds hit.

• Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. If you hate the rain, don’t visit during November to February. June and July (the driest months) are good.

• Phuket, Thailand. From November to March, the sea is calm. During August to October, you get a small surf that’s great for water activities. But from May to November, there can be strong currents, so don’t go swimming.

June to August

• Java, Indonesia. From October to April, it rains and is uncomfortably humid. Avoid like the plague.

• Lombok, Indonesia. Lombok has the wet (October to March) and the dry (May to September) seasons. The dry season is better bet.

• Sumatra, Indonesia. In the north, the wettest months are December and January. In the south, the rains are the heaviest during January and February. Stick to the dry season—from May to September.

September to November

• Chiang Mai, Thailand. October and April are fine—that’s when it’s the driest. The other months are rainy. The mildest temperatures occur in December and January so it’s OK to go then too. But avoid other times of the year (for instance, in April, temperatures can hit 36 degrees centigrade).

• Jakarta, Indonesia. October to February is the torrential rainy season, so avoid it. July through September has the least rain, so it’s a good time; however temperatures are high.

• Hanoi, Vietnam. November to February are the dry months. May to September is unbearably hot. September to November is perfect—expect nice, sunny weather.

VivoCity (1 HarbourFront Walk, 6377-6860) is the latest kid on the block. If you thought Suntec City or Ngee Ann City were huge, VivoCity is gargantuan. The one million sq. ft. mall boasts more than 300 retail, food and entertainment outlets. It counts entertainment complex St. James Power Station as one of its neighbors on the HarbourFront precinct, and sees Golden Village Multiplex and Tangs Department Store as two of its key anchor tenants. As Edmund Chen, chairman of VivoCity’s developer, Mapletree Investments Pte. Ltd., says, “We wanted to create an iconic destination that will constantly surprise and stimulate visitors with its vibrant mix of unique retail and entertainment concepts and ever-changing activities.”

VivoCity will attract a host of first-to-market local and international brands, as well as firmly established names like American fashion giants GAP and Banana Republic. It will also be an exceptional venue for year-round events and activities. This includes cultural or music performances in an outdoor amphitheatre, themed festivals and international bazaars. In addition, it will also house retail and lifestyle stores, restaurants and spas, making it a holistic hub of retail, leisure and entertainment.

A new concept hypermarket is also open. This 114,000 sq. ft. store is the largest hypermarket in Singapore—comprising the most extensive range of groceries sourced from across the world, as well as a new natural food concept store.

Other hip tenants include:

• Bosses, a modern update of a traditional dim sum restaurant, with a show kitchen where diners can see how chefs make their delicious la mian and xiao long bao.
• Brotzeit Beer Bar & Restaurant, which serves authentic German and European fare and premium imported German beer.
• Corduroy Cafe, a new concept cafe featuring a bar from the people who brought us the hugely successful Corduroy & Finch.
• Naf Naf, a classy French boutique offering cool threads for women.
• Nota Bene, which will showcase designs from well-established young designers from the UK, Japan and Australia in an extremely stylish atmosphere.

• Jean Yip Hub, where customers can enjoy a range of hair-styling, skin-care and slimming services, and also get new looks from consultants at a brand-new retail area
• PAGEONE, an international book wholesaler and retail group known for their stylish and comprehensive books selection.

Avid shoppers will find VivoCity a dream. Time will tell if this huge retail space will take off among trendier crowds as well as the average heartland shopper.

While shopping malls in town always present an exciting onslaught of sights, colors and sounds, heartland malls have their own homely appeal too. Not only can you find just as many upmarket shops in the tenant list of most heartland malls, but you won’t have to wander out of your neighborhood just to sniff out those sizzling buys and awesome deals that are waiting to be discovered and snapped up. Here’s our pick of some of the best.

PARKWAY PARADE, 80 Marine Parade Rd., 6344-1242.
If you live in the east, you must have hit this mall before. It’s cool factor has certainly gone up quite a bit recently, no doubt in part due to the completion of the Level One Fashion and the Basement Gourmet & Lifestyle precincts at the end of last year. The mall houses six levels of retail tenants, one level of tenants who offer medical services, as well as a 17-story office tower. Established fashion names such as Dorothy Perkins, Marks & Spencer, Topshop/Topman, and Esprit can be found here, which means that there is no need to travel all the way to town in order to find some decent clothes.

TAMPINES MALL, 4 Tampines Central 5, 6788-8372.
Another great shopping mall to visit if you are in the east is Tampines Mall. Considered one of the leading suburban malls of the east, Tampines Mall gives great choices and offers ever-changing shopping experiences for the fashion-conscious heartland shopaholic. Colorful, vibrant, and always pleasant, shoppers can be sure of keeping abreast of the latest fashion trends and fads in this mall.

JUNCTION 8 SHOPPING CENTRE, 9 Bishan Place, 6354-2955.
Film addicts will be able to satisfy their movie cravings at Golden Village Junction 8, located on Level 4, or they can head down to Sembawang Music Centre (located on the same level) to seek out the latest CDs and DVDs. Foodies will be delighted to know that there is a branch of the renowned Taiwanese dim sum restaurant Din Tai Fung on Level 1.

JURONG POINT SHOPPING CENTRE , 1 Jurong West Central 2,
6792-5662.
A west-side mall that has become extremely popular of late, mainly due to its size and strategic location. Located between Boon Lay MRT station and a 65-bay bus interchange, and supported by a residential and office population that is close to 400,000, the seven-level center has a lettable space of 408,000 sq. ft. and a staggering 200-plus specialty shops and eateries. So what are you waiting for?

With the recent launch of retail giant VivoCity at Harbourfront, Singapore’s shopping scene is heating up. But who’s the toughest kid on the shopping block?

This is still the place to be for cool youths and funky scenesters. The recently refurbished HMV also boasts a stronger DVD section, with more revamps happening for other outlets underway. It doesn’t help that Far East Plaza’s cooler tenants such as Surrender and Billie Jo have moved out too.

QUARTER FINAL

The Heeren Shops vs Cathay Cineleisure Orchard

A tough one, but we love Borders and the cool eateries at Wheelock Place too much to pass it up.

Forum The Shopping Mall vs The Paragon

No doubt about it, Ngee Ann is sleeker and better than the family-oriented Suntec.

SEMI FINAL

The Heeren Shops vs Wheelock Place

Winner - The Heeren Shops
Location aside, The Heeren is also more inviting than Wheelock Place. The latest music coming from HMV also draws the masses in.

The Paragon vs Ngee Ann City

Winner - Ngee Ann City
While Paragon may be newer, the shop tenants at Ngee Ann are more balanced—providing something just about for everyone. Not everyone can afford Prada, y’know?

FINAL

The Heeren Shops vs Ngee Ann City

WINNER - NGEE ANN CITY
The young at heart and trendy prefer The Heeren, but Ngee Ann City is still the second home (when it comes to shopping) for many Singaporeans. This is the only place where you can find Fendi, Guess, Burberry, KFC, Kinokuniya and Takashimaya under one roof. Don’t believe us? Ask just about anyone.

List of the best of heartland malls

We asked, " What Makes a Great Mall?" Find out at pg.2.

What Makes a Great Mall?

“I’m first drawn by how a mall looks—the attractive lights, modern aesthetics and fun décor. Once I step inside the shopping centre, I expect the mall directory to be easy to locate—listing all the potential stores I could walk into to makes my day even better. Knowledgeable sales people are always a big plus in my book. I want to know what I’m buying, putting on my face or carrying around under my arm. Having all my favorite brands under one roof makes my heart skip a few beats every time. I look forward to discovering one-of-a-kind pieces, and interesting brands which can’t be found in every mall. And when it’s time to rest those ankles, I love sinking into a comfortable chair within arm’s reach, and having a leisurely conversation with friends over a cuppa and cake, away from the heat, the noisy streets and sweaty crowds. Very importantly, the ladies bathroom has to be clean and pleasant-smelling. It’s where we refresh ourselves, touch up on our makeup, rearrange our hair, and re-style our outfits. Of course, when it’s time to return home, an accessible cab stand is always welcome.”—Jill Sara, PR Consultant

“Personally, I prefer a small, compact mall that comes with a few right shops, and is easy to navigate around. It must also have a good combination of fashion, music, electronics, and F&B outlets, and close late as my working lifestyle only allows me to shop at later hours. I really cannot stand those mega, huge malls that take forever to walk from one end to the other, as there are too many shops to browse through. I am most unlikely to go shopping at such malls, not to mention, buying anything from them.”—Douglas Kee, Event Organizer

“A good shopping mall should be spacious and well-designed for easy access from one area to the another. There should be easy-to-find directory boards and clear directions given on the signage. In terms of retailers, there should be a good mix of tenants to cater to the different needs of shoppers (fashion, beauty, home, arts, entertainment, F&B, specialty shops and IT). Good customer service is also a must with staff knowing their products and able to provide advice or recommendations. Ample parking with reasonable parking charges for drivers and more taxi stands for non-drivers is also important. And restrooms need to be clean, dry and regularly maintained. The malls here could also be more user-friendly for the elderly or disabled, for instance, more seats and ramps for wheel chairs. Interesting and creative window displays, exciting promotions and events and bigger outdoor areas or al fresco style areas are always good. “—Jansen Siak, PR Director

“I wish we had a shopping mall that opened till midnight or later during the weekend and more variety in the styles of fashion that is being brought in. In Singapore, all the shopping malls carry the same brands, which makes the whole shopping experience very boring. All the malls here carry Levi’s, Esprit, U2, G2000 and GG<5. If the shopping malls could bring in some other brands like Bettina Liano and Satch from Australia,
it would be great. Besides that, more variety of unique cafes is also important so that shoppers can rest and relax after long hours of shopping.”—Yohanna Laurus, Avid Shopper

Are the cowboy hat and spurs necessary for line dancing?
In Singapore, the spurs are not really that important. The cowboy hat is optional. Some people like to wear it, some don’t. It’s not compulsory.

Is it really only old people who line dance?
No, line dancing is open to all ages. We have students from the age of four to my oldest student who is 74. He’s very good.

Have you ever had a student with very poor psychomotor skills?
Oh, yes. Some of them have what we call “three legs!” No matter how you teach them, they just can’t get it.

Anyone ever start talking with a John Wayne type accent after each class?
No, not really. Don’t get the wrong concept that because you dress like a cowboy, you must speak like one.

What is the strangest music you have ever danced to?
There’s a song-and-dance set entitled “Genghis Khan.” Line dancing should be more or less about country music—something very pleasant to the ears.

What do you think are some of the misconceptions that people have about line dancers?
There aren’t many really, it’s just that to an ordinary person, it doesn’t make sense for a guy to dress in cowboy clothes and dance to Latin music. To me it doesn’t make sense! I believe most people agree with me, only that they don’t ask why they’re dressed like this.

We’ve heard that the Macarena is considered a line dance. Is that true?
Actually, you can consider it a line dance because the dancers all stand in line. The only thing is that they don’t move as much as us. They just turn around a little bit but, in line dancing, we move a lot.

Do you know how to do it then?
No, I never liked that dance! It’s good for the ladies, not the men. But the inventors are men, those Italian guys.

Are you sick of hearing “Achy Breaky Heart” yet?
No, it just keeps getting better!
