    Pilanesburg and Kruger?

    How many thousand miles do you like driving on holiday?

    Or, not and.
    And you fly to the game park then drive around it. Not so many miles :)

    Thanks all.

    i think i am going to attempt to develop an itinerary for....(drum roll please): Thailand!!

    With just over two weeks or so I think i can see Bangkok, Phuket, Phi Phi, Krabi(?) and possibly a national park (Khao Lak?) for an overnight stay.

    I'll take a look at the respective forums and for the time-being will park the idea of Vietnam or Mexico.

    The Op has decided to do Thailand so arguments over any where else are pointless IMHO

    Start a new thread about the merits of SA MSE-I'd be interested :cool:

    Thanks again one and all.


    Everynamestaken - I do love the beach so I would imagine much of my trip will be in the south.


    PompeyPete - thanks. I will take a look at that trip and see how it fits in to the few days/nights in Bangkok.

    Ao nang, Krabi. Phuket. Plenty of Islands.

    I enjoyed it. Feel free to Pm me hotels in certain locations etc.

    It's very touristy and although I'm not really a beach person and it wouldn't be my first choice again, the South of Thailand is extremely nice.

    Thanks, Everynamestaken. I will take you up on that offer when I get to that point.

    Currently working out must see's and do's to help draft the initial itinerary which is as follow:
    - Bangkok - 3 nights
    (Fly Bangkok to Surat Thani Airport)
    - Khao Sok National Park - minibus from airport and arrive noon(ish) - 1/2 nights depending on the tours I go for
    - Krabi - 3 nights
    - Phi Phi Island - 2 nights
    - Phuket - 5 nights
    - Fly Phuket to London via Bangkok

    Thoughts on the above?

    Does anyone have links to previous Thailand threads that may be beneficial?

    You'll more than likely be paying more for an open flight rather than a bog standard return. I really enjoyed the North where you can wash elephants and tpstuff, plus there's a few other nice places up there. My minds gone blank but it's well known
    :T:T :beer: :beer::beer::beer: to the lil one :) :beer::beer::beer:

    Phi phi is horrendously built up, but is a nice setting.

    Phuket is a big airport, if you fly with, for example, Qatar, etihad, Emirates etc then you may be able to fly into Bangkok and direct back from Phuket, obviously with a change of planes in Doha, Dubai or Abu Dhabi.

    Puerto Vallarta on Mexico's west coast is far cheaper than Cancun way
