Im going to...

Gulf Air - www.gulfairco.com

They even reccommend cheaper flights for you!!

you can get hotels in thailand for £14 per room per night...you would pay over £150 over here for the same standard...

it's just awesome bri

sounds amazing!!!!!!!!!

i really really cant wait

Most defo. Sort a plan Ruth - Im in

tickets arrived this morning

do you know where he lives??

mackem land is canny big (if he lives that way on)

I really want to go to the south of Thailand...it was too soon after the tsunami when we travelled... But Cambodia was amazing & I'll deffo be heading back to Thailand to go to the beaches in the south

Whats crime like over there?

Reason I ask is I was gonna take either my mobile or PDA to use as GPS device, help us find places easier.

Likely to get robbed/murdered for it?

dunno but i never take anything too expensive anywhere except my camera...don't even take jewellry with me when i go...

just get a lonely planet guide & you'll be right

i wanted to take my geekyness with me tho :strop: :laugh:

tis up to you but i personally wouldn't....it'd make you possibly more of a target for your geeky stuff where as who would want a book written in english

very true!!

im just readin the british embesy site...

interesting read, sounds nice and dangerous

especially Karachi where I have to transfer :doh:

Tickets

that's just what i'd do...also if you're on a sleeper train sleep & not in a private carraige sleep with your baggage against the wall cos it means people will have to lean over you to try & nick it..



you'll be fine

gonna take as little as poss and just buy stuff there so can fetch loads back

go to an evening market when you are there...you can get cheap herbs n spices, really nice dinner sets & green tea at well cheap prices

you can also get chepa clothes over there...

have you got a ruck sack??

it'll be easier for travelling around than a suitcase

yeah gonna buy a new rucksack to take!! good tip, cheers!

that's the best idea...when i went with my mam last year i even got her to take a rucksack

are you spending a full day in bangkok??
& are you planning on sight seeing there?

I think the others are stayin 1 night in Bangkok - will be leaving shortly after I get there the day after I think.

Altho may stay an extra day to give me a chance to get sum rest cos will be shattered!

you can rest on the train to the beaches man!! don't stay in bangkok if you can avoid it

it's smelly & minging

more sound advice - how far down south is it safe to go btw?!?!
