Kong: Skull Island &#8211; Vietnam<\/h1>\n<p>The 2017 blockbuster was a box-office success grossing $566 million. The movie is predominantly shot around Vietnam, mostly around the Trang An region near Hanoi. The gigantic creature seems to fit right into his surroundings, with limestone karsts rising up around him, dwarfed by his enormous size. Trang An is an underrated and picturesque part of the country. Come here to visit the government-recreated King Kong Island in the middle of the water. It is replete with village huts, actors playing aboriginals and props like a boat where you can take pictures. Beyond the attraction of the erstwhile movie set, Trang An is packed with beauty, best explored on a boat weaving through low-ceilinged caves.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-large wp-image-17481\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot-1024x576.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27576%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201024%20576%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%273576%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot-250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot-533x300.jpg 533w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot-550x309.jpg 550w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot-889x500.jpg 889w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Kong_-Skull-Island-Vietnam-Featurette-Warner-Bros.-UK-1-47-screenshot.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Photo credit: Kong: Skull Island (2017)<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>7. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel &#8211; India<\/h1>\n<p>It\u2019s a shame that a colourful country like <a href=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/eat-like-a-local-in-goa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">India<\/a> remains underrepresented in world cinema. Viewers are either only exposed to the poverty and struggle shown in Slumdog Millionaire, or majestic palaces as backdrops in James Bond films like Octopussy. Enter The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, a 2011 British comedy-drama based on the novel \u2018These Foolish Things\u2019. The movie takes a wider view of the country and allows the actors to blend into their environment without a rosy or dark-coloured lens. Most of the film was shot in Rajasthan around Jaipur and Udaipur. But instead of only focusing on the palaces and forts, the movie gives you a glimpse of local life, markets, public transport and the unmistakable buzz of this vibrant land. When it comes to travel in Asia. India must feature high on your list.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-large wp-image-17479\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot-1024x576.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27576%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201024%20576%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%273576%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot-250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot-533x300.jpg 533w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot-550x309.jpg 550w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot-889x500.jpg 889w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Best-Exotic-Marigold-Hotel-Official-Trailer-2-2-screenshot.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Photo credit: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Allow these Hollywood movies to transport you to your favourite destinations around Asia.
