Which one to choose

    food, nature, adventure
    Thailand

    The real split is beach, nightlife, social — that is where the two records diverge most.

  • Suits

    couples, solo, friends
    Thailand
    solo, friends, couples, families

    Both records list the same groups — couples, solo, friends — so this row does not separate them. Thailand additionally suits families.
