I loved Bangkok. Although after a day walking around I've never been so tired. It's a mad mad place but if you like that kinda thing its great.
We only had 2 days there passing through and just went to some of the more well known sites. If you take a boat ride on the river just keep your gob shut otherwise you could pick up god knows what disease if any water gets in.
Bali is a love it or hate it place as well, personally I loved it. Kuta is a hole, but again I found it entertaining and stayed there for a week or so. Stroll down poppies 1 and 2 and get in with the Aussies!
Ubud is the one for culture. I much prefered this place. Admittedly it's nowhere near the sea but it's well worth a walk through the paddy fields and meet some of the artists living there.
The volcano was impressive to walk up, just do it early in the morning because the heat is unbearble when doing that kind of exercise.
We also took a boat out to the Gili's. This is where we went diving. Three tiny tropical islands and lots of great diving. Well worth a visit if you have time.
In both places you will get hassle hassle hassle. But just wave them off and say no thanks. In Kuta it can get really excessive, but hey ho it's all part of the experience.
Have fun, I can't wait to get back to that part of the world!!
