The Asia-Pacific region has almost every activity you could want just a short flight away. With Singaporeans tending to lean towards short, regional trips, there are plenty of things to do in Asia without needing to take extended period of time off from work.

Whether you want to spend your long weekend scuba diving in Thailand, trekking Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia or skiing in South Korea, there are plenty of cheap destinations for you to escape to.

Below we have some of the best cheap destinations for sports and adrenaline junkies and some tips on how to make the most out of your weekend getaways.

Where to go

Since long-haul flights can take precious time away from a short vacation, opting for a destination closer to home can give you great results for cheaper prices.

The places we explore are within reach for a typical weekend (under six hours of flight) and cost S$200 to S$2,000 per person for a three-day weekend for a round trip flight, hotel and activity. Booking your flight with a travel credit card could reduce these costs even further by 15-20 per cent.
