    #7449816 - 09/24/07 10:54 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

Hey all, i need your advice...especially from those whove been there.

This was just thrown into my lap, and I have to decide on a location for a timeshare for early-mid May by tomorrow.

Who was that one member who traveled out there and visited all sorts of trippy temples and stuff? I remember seeing pics on the shroomery.

here are the choices im researching:

Brunei Darussalam
China, Beijing
China, Guangdong Province
China, Hainan Island
China, Shanghai City
China, Shanghai Province
China, Shenzhen City
India, Bangalore
India, Goa
Indonesia, Bali
Indonesia, Bintan & Batam Islands
Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia, Pahang, Cherating
Malaysia, Sarawak
Nepal
Philippines, Aklan
Philippines, Batangas
Philippines, Cebu
Philippines, Cebu, Mactan Island
Philippines, Davao
Philippines, Zambales
Singapore
Thailand, Bangkok
Thailand, Koh Samui
Thailand, Pattaya
Thailand, Phuket
Thailand, Rachaburi

I've never been to any of them but I know in China they give people severe (think death or labor camp) sentences for weed. Singapore gives the death penalty for bringing drugs in the country so you'll never score a bag there. Philippines, Thailand, India, Nepal, Indonesia, or Brunei are left. So now Philippines are a US territory so US drug laws apply. Now in India and Nepal weed is used religiously in temples and pilgrims have full access. So if you're looking for "trippy temples" and stuff that leaves how many left? Thailand is full of baby rapers so I'd avoid it. Maybe add Bogata Colombia to the list, a friend that went there said that weed was $50/pound.

all those China sites are pretty cool
but you should also check out Han Zhou
pardon my spelling
i don't know how to spell Chinese with English

HuNang province is pretty nice too <-- hometown baby

Beijing really has nothing to offer
to be honest
and you'll probably get pick pocketed a couple times too


Shanghai is nice
good shopping area
but if you are white
you might not get the low discounts Chinese people would get haha
but still cheaper than here

if you are into spirituality
you should visit the largets Bhudda statue in the world

Great Wall is a looker too
i forgot where
but my grandfather's brother's name is on the Great Wall

yeah not true
they don't care (depending on where you go)
and there is no drinking age in China either


hashish is actually widely used in some provinces
it's almost like drinking water

I would have to say Phukett.

I just like the sound of that.

Or maybe Bangkok.  :shrug:

The sound of Phuket does sound ideal for a vacation.

Laos.

I read a book about a nifty magical critter that had good things to say about it.

Since you want something jungle-ish and tropical...then i would suggest to head towards malaysia, thailand or the philippines

with malaysia, i'm not sure how it'll be...
in thailand, i'd say koh samui or phuket. pattaya is nice too so i've heard, but it's quite dirty.

as for the philippines..well, i'm heading there next year for 1.5 months. davao i wouldn't suggest since that's in mindinao (area of conflict with abu sayaff). cebu is beautiful, same with batangas.

if i were you, i'd take a look at photos of the places on flickr or on the net and then decide from there.

i can only tell you about the philippines as i'm filipno, and could wholeheartedly say that the people are friendly and warm.

I've been packing around se asia for over 7 months and i think Thailand was the best place to be. I stayed there for half my trip.

But for one week i would definately go to Phuket, then take the boat to Phiphi Island for a day or two. Its unbeleavable.

Places I would recommend (I've been to all of them):

Louang Prabang, Laos and some other random places there

trippy temples:
Siem Reap, Cambodia - look up Angkor Wat - the centerpiece of the biggest temple complex in the world I believe

nice beaches - Thailand:

skip Pattaya unless you just want to party and bang hookers
Phuket has lots of great scuba diving, but it is extremely touristy/overdeveloped. If you don't mind that though, the beaches are very nice.
Railey - specifically, Ton Sai beach - small beach surrounded by giant limestone walls that are all fully bolted - it's a big climbers destination - you can smoke in the open there - no cops at all
Ko Phi Phi islands are extremely nice, but there are a billion other people there with you, so it gets old quick
I've heard great things about Ko Chang

That's all I have for now. If you want to know more just let me know.
