I'm trying to plan a 3 week trip to Hong Kong, Thailand and the Philippines. Looking for recommendations on places to checkout.
I love beaches, hiking, waterfalls, snorkeling and some nightlife. My boyfriend is from Hong Kong so I'm trying to take him home.

I've been to Thailand twice...just Bangkok and Phuket. I'm going back in February to Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Krabi and back to Phuket...trains, buses and planes. I want to see the lay of the land this time.

El Nido was a real disappointment for us. Over crowded, noisy and expensive. Bohol was our fave- Ananda in particular and panglau. I recommend hitting some quiet islands or you will be over- run with people!

2 years ago we did Hong Kong, Thailand and Bali with our baby. Was fun. February we are doing Beijing/Shanghai, Hong Kong and maybe Thailand again (haven't ironed out details) can't go wrong in Asia!

Three weeks is not enough time for three _ HK and one of the others would be more wise.
And as for thenPhilippines getting anywhere nice requires an extra flight from Manila. If you can try to get into Cebu from HK
