Default OK Speaking Just English On Asian Travel?

Would a traveler be alright with just English while visiting Asia?
Which countries might NOT be ok?

Thank you.

Definitely yes. Mostly people in asian countries understood English language, though some speak it crookedly but they can understand it. I don't know which country who cannot speak/understand English.

Definetly agree. English is understood and spoken there. I think it is taught in schools at a very young age. I would think that non english speakers may be found in the most interior areas far from toursitic attractions.

I am assuming you are referring to big cities though, not remote destinations, right?

Yeah...larger cities with international business and such should be fine to go and see. Now if you were going someplace out of the way or smaller, you may have to find a guide or something.

I don't even think it is safe to go to smaller, remote places, without a guide, for obvious reasons.
