koolking, we've been to Thailand quite a bit and beaches are similar, both have great fine sand and beautiful water, but as Saeyedoc says SE Asia scenery nicer, more dramatic and of course less expensive. However, Negril is only place we've been who's overall vibe comes close to Asia. Like Asia, wandering down the beach in Negril is an experience of its own with unique characters and a funky bar or good place to eat only a few steps away and Negril is much easier to get to. Negril and SE Asia our 2 favorite destinations, well with maybe an Amsterdam visit thrown in for good measure!
