holiday ideas.
I'm going to be hipster here and suggest something that you could do before it gets too cool...
forget Thailand, done to death.
Vietnam ha, enjoy food poisoning getting ripped off and poor quality everything. would never suggest. (well unless you do a tour and follow the sheep)
Loved walking down the street and watching people carry their kids out to defecate in the gutter
so if you want beach, cheap, lots of activities, do Boracay in the Philippines.
beers sub 1$ all the usual things like parasailing, diving (got to see some cool wildlife when I went out) sailing and lots of very cheap seafood.
fly into Manila then catch a small plane down to the islands.
or if you want to do something completely different, go to Laos.
other than Viet Vian there just not the tourists. (but that's where you go for the drugs.)
and riding a slow boat down the meekong is super relaxing.
expect more hiking and sightseeing rather than action however.
