Still no plans for the year-end holidays? Let November's Travel Scoop inspire you to nearby destinations where you'll get that much-needed break. Eat, shop, and explore at new spots in Bangkok and Phuket, or kick back on the sandy beaches of Bali.

Otherwise, engage your inner foodie with a food tour around Malacca. It pays to plan ahead, especially if you are looking to maximise your public holidays and long weekends next year (2025 Public Holidays).

Be it travel deals with free flights or new places to explore, we've got it all in this month's Travel Scoop.
