I would look for monastery that is absent of tiracchana vijja (tiracchana literally means non-human animal, or crossed animals (animals that cant make progress in Dhamma). tiracchana vijja means low art. Or practices that crossed with path to nirvana. Also monasteries that do not have donation box every 10 ft. Ajahn Cha's monasteries are nice.
the appendices of this books shows tiracchana vijja or wrong livelihood for Bhikkhus. tiracchana vijja

I will be taking a retreat near Kuala Lumpur starting 1st December (Mahasi style). Full retreat is one month, but no problem leaving early. Let me know if you are interested in more details.

Goenka's Vipassana techniques is very effective, hence I would recommend to stick with it. Also a similar techniques is taught at International Meditation Centre.
Also Suan Mokkh is a pretty good place to study Anapana I would expect though I have not been there Ven. Buddhadasa's books on this are very effective.
Also if you are going to Burma you can try Pa-Auk Forest Monastery. Also you can try out Mogok Sayadaw's Meditation techniques, there many monasteries but little web presence hence you might need to do a bit more searching.
Also have a look at World Buddhist Directory. This might help you find more centres. If you are interested in coming to Sri Lanka there is a directory of meditation centres here: Information about Meditation Centers in Sri Lanka.

If you come to Sri Lanka, there's nice place up in hill country called the Rathmalkanda Meditation Center for Insight Knowledge. The head monk there is venerable Madawala Upali thera who has been a meditation teacher over 40 years. The main meditation taught there is the Vipassana(insight) meditation of the Mahasi Sayadaw tradition. But venerable Upali also teaches Anapanasati, Kasina and other Samatha(tranquility) meditation techniques as well.
