I went to Bali (sort of similar? SE Asia?) by myself. Had a blast (until I lost my credit card...). If going somewhere guides/drivers are cheap. Don't take the many offers of drugs you will get. Careful with jetskis and scooters; in fact w/ scooters coppers single out westerners in bali for 'shakedown'......if in touristy area avoid eye contact w/vendors hawking goods, once you acknowledge them they can be very persuasive. Most of the crap is counterfeit anyway. Some of it is hilarious. As a gag I got my folks a penis-shaped ashtray! If you can learn a bit of the lingo it helps. In Kuta/Legian everyone spoke english but I went into Denpasar to look at the museums/art galleries there...noone spoke english. Except for staff at museums of course.....
