2 Nights Singapore
2 Nights KL
2-3 Nights on the Malaysian Islands
14 Days split among Thailand/Vietnamn/Cambodia or Laos
I would really like to find a nice cheap relaxing spot somewhere and stay for a good 5 nights or so, can anybody recomend such a place in any of the countries listed?(I am sure they are numerous...but to narrow it down I am looking for something beachy, scenic, rural, cheap, and hopefully having a nice mellow party scene of some sort.)
Also it seems that it is somewhat controversial to travel to Myanmar, do you think it might be worth checking out anyway? I am looking for some get away from it all, genuine adventures on this trip(However short) and the name "Burma" evokes very nostalgic and interesting imagery.
Is it bad to reply to yourself?
Anyway I think I have ruled Myanmar out apparently it's extremly rainy there in July. I also didn't realize how affordable Thailand was, but I am concerned with the crowds, is it extremly crowded there in late July and Early Agust?
