Its up to you what you do, you can just travel (Thailand is good for that) or maybe work and volunteer.

If you are worried about that to do book a tour prior to leaving and you get to travel safely and meet lots of people.

I think there will probably be far more options open to you if you take it after sixth form, you could have more money to spend if you work, and being older makes things worlds easier.
