I just about hit 4 and a half of your criteria BUT I am guilty of traveling business class for long haul and I hate to say it much as I love the 22 train journey (scheduled as may be anything up to 6 hours late) from Bangkok to the deep south of Thailand I do sometimes opt for the hours flight down to Narathiwat or back.
Eating local food I can't imagine not and being lucky enough now to have many local friends in Thailand and Cambodia I am treated to many dishes that a tourist would be hard come by to find
On the topic of sustainable development as Stuart knows I love the village of Chi Phat in Cambodia and during covid my friend Vanak built a new chalet in the jungle. I saw the site before covid on my last visit and am looking forward to getting back soon to see it for myself
Hi as always thank you. Feeling depressed about travel. If I get to SE Asia. Will I be welcome? Probably takes me over 5 mins to eat my noodles. I think I made all 5 on your check list. A good list by the way. Stay with this important work.

Fantastic, righteous rant! (Rant meant in the best way.)
