Need to brainstorm: Asian/SE Asian vacation in February?

We have some holiday time during Chinese New Year and I'd like to spend it some place warm. What's a good place I can go for about a week that isn't (mostly) celebrating CNY, not likely to drench me daily in a rainy season, isn't super far from korea, where I'm flying from. Aka not Australia/NZ (saving that for a 2weeker).

Is anyone familiar with Bali's weather in Feb? I'm seeing "only rains a little in the afternoon" and "don't go there in Feb ever" so I'm confused. Guam is on my list too but the flights I've looked up are at terrible times. I would consider sucking it up though. Any other recs?

We went to Bali last year in late January/early February and the weather was fine. We were by the pool or on the beach every day with a slight shower at night or in the afternoon. Nothing that bothered us too much.

What about the Philippines? It was a short and direct flight to Boracay.

I've found better flight times to Saipan than Guam, so you may want to check there, too.

It's supposed to be the driest time of the year in Palau (though with a tropical climate, it can rain anytime), and a direct flight is only 5 hours.

I have also looked into traveling during CNY and I've heard Bali is a good bet it is one of the few places in SE Asia where CNY isn't a big thing. I have also heard it could be rainy then, but I don't think that is the height of rainy season.

I would also look into the Philippines. I'm not sure what the CNY situation is there, but I think the Chinese population is fairly well integrated so it probably isn't as big of a deal as a lot of places in continental SE Asia.

We went to Bali in February and the weather was great. We literally got 10-15 minutes of rain a day, and the resorts were crazy cheap (and dead) because it is their low season.

Not sure if Thailand/Malaysia/Singapore is too far, but I've been there in February as well and the weather is fabulous.
