So where should I go? I've got an intense desire to go somewhere within the next month, I'm looking for somewhere that's cheap in terms of hotels and food, I don't mind if the flight is slightly expensive just if the place is quite cultural and cheap. Looking for the overall trip to be under 1000 GBP.
I was thinking thailand, really interested in going there but I want other suggestions.
Anything really exotic or obscure out there that one needs to see? Apologies, I know how annoying it can be to tell someone where to go

I'm in the same boat, OP.
It's ironic, because the two places I'm considering most are Peru and Thailand/Cambodia.
Would have to do Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Machu Picchu and ayahuasca in Peru.
Have you considered Morocco? It's fairly close to the UK, cheap enough to fly to, cheap as shit once you're there, and radically different from the UK. You could easily spend a month there with roundtrip airfare for under 1000 GBP, and that's if you made no serious effort to be thrifty

Hm, I'd like to but I actually have an Uncle who recently went there and said it was shit for some reason, I'll find out from him what he has to say.
What do you suggest to do there?

It's not my favorite place I've been, but it was fun and cheap and very exotic.
These days I would never consider going to most Muslim countries, but Morocco is decent. Everyone is Muslim but you can buy alcohol or even be drunk in public without getting arrested or anything. I'm not saying to get blackout drunk and wander the streets, but it's secular-ish as far as Muslim countries go. Your hostel might have a bar and it's possible to meet cool foreign travelers in your hostels.
As far as attractions themselves, you can tour the desert, go windsurfing, go to the open-air markets, go to the beach, and overall do anything else you'd do while traveling, just cheaper.
If you're not sold on Morocco, you could look into Romania/Bulgaria/Albania area. I've never been so I can't really say what to do, but I'm currently to go there this summer. Airfare to Istanbul is cheap and then you're surrounded by very cheap Eastern European countries.

How do you cope in Morocco without knowing a lick of French or Arabic?
Can a guy go there on his own knowing only Enlglish (and OK Spanish) and get by OK?
