OT: If you were traveling by yourself

What type of beach destination would you take for 3 nights:

A. A fun island with lots of restaurants and bars but also crowded beaches

B. A secluded island away from the crowds with limited dining and bar options

Can't decide my beach vacation.

 

[GetHooked]

I'd go to Maui.

 

[SFlonghorngirl]

I'm going to Thailand but can't decide which island for my beach getaway.

A. Koh Samui

B. Koh Lipe

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Doesn't matter where, just has to be a topless beach

 

[Lukus Alderman]

I'd go to Disney World.

Be forewarned - 60% of the population is estimated to have AIDS.

That's scary!

So secluded island right? Away from the crowds?

LOL - it only takes one person.

What's wrong with Cozumel - or Belize?

Because it's on my way from Europe to Taiwan. I am taking a month long vacation.

If you'll be in Europe, why not St. Tropez or Nice in France?

Because Thailand is dirt cheap.

Just beware and be careful. Sometimes you get what you pay for.

Thanks Joey! Never traveled internationally alone. Will be a trip to remember I hope!

Then you have to go to the Phillipines. No crowds, jaw dropping beauty and it's cheap. Coron island is an excellent place to start looking - or Palawan. You'll never want to leave.

Thanks Doc! I went to the Philippines last summer for my beach vacay. We went to Boracay! Would live to do Palawan next time! I'm also considering Langkawi in Malaysia.

 

[Brasky]

Must. Be. Effing. Nice.

5 years ago I'd have gone to the party-est place. Now I'd go to the chill-est. I'm a foodie though and if the drop off was too big I'd endure the crowds.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Wherever that is where they filmed "The Beach."

 

[streettopeschel]

Because Thailand is dirt cheap.

You can do Nice reasonably.

And lsampson goes to Disney world for the movies.
