Hotels.com is offering discounts up to 40 percent off hotel reservations as part of its “Early Summer Sale” promotion. As many travelers are expected to start their summer vacations early, the hotel booking site has drawn up a list of hotel recommendations in Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, and discount offers.

The list includes Hua Hin Mantra Resort, a modern boutique hotel located near Hua Hin beach in Thailand with rooms themed with the Thai tradition. The room rates start from $84 (86,000 won). In Malaysia, room rates of Shangri La’s Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa start from $205 per night. The Marina Bay Sands, one of the landmark hotels in Singapore, offers room rates from $280 per night.
