Best Places to Visit in April


I have 3 weeks in April (may also be able to start late March) to take a trip. I would like to visit at least 2-3 of the following places at least. Any recommendations?

Cambodia
Malaysia
Bhutan
Indonesia
Burma
Sri Lanka
Vietnam
Laos
Singapore
Japan

I think Thailand is too hot? Are any of these other places too hot and/or mosquitoey?

It will probably be cherry blossom time in Japan.

Bhutan at elevation would still be cool but nice.

See weatherbase site for weather info

bhutan, japan and northern vietnam are the only places that will not be very hot....cambodia generally is hoter than thailand for instance...

i hate the heat too, but i still go and find ways to keep out of it, like a/c cars, etc..

from the places that you list there are some natural go togethers...

indonesia/singapore/malaysia
burma/cambodia/vietnam/laos

if you have not been to thailand, it makes a lot of sense to spend some time in bkk and then use it to visit some of the others, especially laos, cambodia, myanmar (burma), malaysia and indonesia....bkk is a great hub ....

LTH,

If you want us to plan for you , you have to give us all the vital info. ie,what's your budget, where your traveling from, what kind of travel you like to do,are you a couple, how old, are you well travelled, etc.

Then we can totally massacre it for, lol!

Then we can get a better idea of where andwhat to recco.

Aloha!

Japan is on the way to several of those places. I could spend the three weeks in Japan. One time I spent two weeks in Thailand and Cambodia (three days) and then a week in Japan. Another trip was two weeks in Japan and a week in Bali (that was in May and Bali would probably be a good choice for April).
