My own recommendation
Malaysia because
* there are not too many tourists there,
* it is not "too far" from where you are,
* there are wonderful relaxing places

Now where in Malaysia, you can avoid places like Lankawi, etc. which
have a lot people.
So east coast (photo above) of Malaysia Peninsula is less traveled
than the west coast. There are mountains with parks in the center of
the Peninsula.
The Borneo island part (Sabah/Sarawak) has an important number of
National Parks with trails in the mountains and tropical forest.
