4 week Asia trip £10k ideas

[PauloV12V]

We are taking October off having not had a beach holiday for 3 years and the wife wants to go to the Far East. I have done Thailand,Hong Kong and Malaysia albeit 25 years ago. The thought being I would hate the commercialisation of some of these places so not sure of returning although the missus keeps nagging for Thailand.

Without appearing snobbish I don't really want to queue, listen to loud mouths and be ripped off by touts, afterall we are on holiday.
Anyone got ideas for a great twin centre trip? Thinking Vietnam and Philippines/China/South Korea?

Budget circa £10k.

Hi guys thanks for your great comments thus far. We have Phillipines as a definate first destination now and are deciding on second choice, looking at Borneo, China or South Korea.

I want to dive, the missus wants to sit on a beach eat nice food and shop locally.

Comments re Bali agree. Have been before, highlight was wreck diving in Tulamben over the ww2 destroyer.
