essox essox Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 this is a stupid/silly question. Surely you can find some places to go without asking on here. Do you know how to search the web??? It seems you are NOT geographically minded. People who suggest places on here are good....but might NOT suit you. SEARCH THE WEB.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I second Hoi An, Vietnam. Can fly direct from Bangkok to Da Nang International Airport, and from Da Nang, Hoi An is 30 minutes down the coast, by local bus or taxi. There are lots of beaches close by, and Hoi An is a very old, picturesque and quiet town - as long as you stay a little bit outside of the old city. Recent development ; the really loud beer barns, (now favoured by young and recently cashed up Viets) have taken over the old city, and complaints are many, from guests in nearby hotels, about being unable to sleep. The covered Japanese (yes, Japanese) bridge in the old city is truly exquisite, and was built in 1590.Think i went in the toilet in that yellow building, it was stinking, eye watering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveK Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) Don't go to the Outer Hebrides. I worked there for a few years. Nothing to do unless you have friends or family there. *Yes I know you were joking* Don't go to Penang. 12 hours in Penang is enough for me. 1 hour is enough for some people. Is Cebu too far? Mandalay is fantastic. But Taipei is seriously on a whole another level, providing you don't mind spending a bit! I would live in Taipei if I knew what the hell was going on there.

Did I mention the army of Chinese tourists ? this may be a better experience https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g298082-d2068091-Reviews-Tra_Que_Vegetable_Village-Hoi_An_Quang_Nam_Province.html I disagree about Hoi An - mine, and other posters’, experiences are far more positive.

ezzra Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 herad lot of good feedback on this hidden gem Phu Quoc, VN. This peaceful tropical paradise, floats in the warm turquoise waters in the Gulf of Thailand, 50kms from the Vietnamese mainland and a 50 minute flight from Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). Open year round with a peak season from November to March, Phu Quoc is becoming well known for stunning beaches, untouched natural environment, the easy going and relaxed atmosphere, friendly locals, and fantastic scuba diving and snorkelling. The majority of Phu Quoc Island is dedicated to National Park and protected marine environment, providing a memorable experience, with plenty of exciting activities and places to visit to keep you and the family entertained during your stay.

Well...did you go up the railway to Penang hill ? Great views plus there used to be a canopy walk up there through the tree top jungle. Hire a small Honda and ride around the island to Batu Ferringhi and beyond. A very pleasant ride. Visit the museum in Georgetown and and easy walk to Fort Cornwallis. Stroll around the beautiful Botanic Gardens Take the elevator to the top of Penang tower for a coffee with a view. For a small island there is a lot to do if you make a little effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very exciting if you jump from the top of the tower and do a few sumersaults on the way down. Can't understand why people go to Pattaya to do this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
