They are all beautful. Just make sure you avoid the monsoon season.</p> <p>I'd recommend going to Siem Reap in Cambodia and visiting Angkor Wat. It can be a lot of walking / climbing, but there really is no other place like Angkor Wat. 3-4 days there will be plenty.</p> <p>And you probably know all about the budget airlines in SE Asia. You can fly for like $20 from Thailand to Bali, even (Air Asia, One-Two-Go, etc...)</p> <p>I've been to Hanoi and some remote communities in Vietnam (for work). Hanoi is a beautiful city with a lot of history and culture. Food is great, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>My sister went to the Maldives and Malaysia for her honeymoon. She wasn't wowed by Malaysia, but probably because she was spoiled by the Maldives!!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/vietnam-thailand-or-malaysia-cant-decide-any-advice#post-451001 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:01:55 +0000 formerlybuttons 451001@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Thailand!!&nbsp; FI and I spent about 10 days there for a vacation, and it was amazing.&nbsp; We were in Bangkok, Phuket, Khao Lak, and Phi Phi.&nbsp; We went during "off" season (mid-June) so crowds weren't a problem at all -- it was peaceful, relaxing, secluded, and beautiful.&nbsp; It was really, really beautiful.&nbsp; We stayed in amazing hotels too -- snorkeled, rented out a longboat and driver for the day and just went exploring around the islands.&nbsp; I loved it and would love to go back.&nbsp; I think it's a pretty perfect honeymoon spot!</p> <p>I've never been to Vietnam, but I have friends who have visited and they didn't really like it there. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/vietnam-thailand-or-malaysia-cant-decide-any-advice#post-449443 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:51:30 +0000 simpleandchic 449443@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>2 mountainbride my FH's brother lives in Canberra, in Lyons, we go there often to visit.

Depending on how long your honeymoon is, you can visit more than 1 of those countries. I'm biased since I have lived in Thailand before so I would say Thailand. I have heard great things about Vietnam but never been there and definitely will plan to visit there soon. I have only been in KL in Malaysia. It's kinda meh for me. Although thailand is a big tourist country, there are many non-touristy places and the types of services/accommodations/opportunities available are also great since it is a tourist-centered country.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/vietnam-thailand-or-malaysia-cant-decide-any-advice#post-448840 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:07:44 +0000 El Capataz 448840@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I'm going to Thailand next week!

(Anyone else think we need a board?) I really wanted to go to Vietnam for our honeymoon but bc we're getting married so close to Christmas, flights and accommodation were too expensive. We decided to save our $ for a time of year when we'll get more bang for our buck, and we're off to Byron for a week instead.</p> <p>I have been to Malaysia before and I love it, I plan to go plenty more times. KL is great and if you want a relaxing resort style holiday Langkawi is a good place for it. I've also spent time in Penang which I liked. I think it's a great option. I haven't been to Thailand (fi went with his ex, one reason I've never been that keen!) but it doesn't appeal in the same way, I think bc I assume it's full of other Aussies. My sister went there on her honeymoon though&nbsp;and they had a great time, I think you just need to choose where you go carefully. Vietnam seemed a bit more off the beaten track to me which is partly why it appealed.</p> <p>Anyway I think any of these places would be great for you and it might just come down to what good deals you can find and what takes your fancy :)</p>
