Honeymoon in SE Asia

Hello all,

I am getting married next August & we are just started to look into honeymoons. We would like to go to SE Asia, particularly Thailand or Malaysia for a week. I have heard that you can pay around £600 each? Is that right? Could anyone please point me in the direction of any websites/good deals? If it helps, we will be looking to depart (from any airport) around August 23rd

Many thanks

    Our budget would be around £1500 I think, to include flights & hotel.

    Friends of mine are going away tomorrow on their honeymoon to Thailand.

    They got flights from Scotland, via Amsterdam, 3 nights at Royal Orchid Sheraton Bangkok, transfers to Hua Hin Hilton and 8 nights there for under £1500, so it can be done :)



    August isn't the best time to visit Thailand, but the way the world weather is now, you can never predict !

    Try looking at travelfish.org for general info on Thailand.

    There are ALWAYS deals on for hotels in Thailand in August, make sure you get some nights free, free upgrade on room etc

    I've been here since mid August. Only two rainy days so far. When it's hot it's really hot.
    Packages aren't cheap at that time of year and limit your choices. Put your own itinerary together, with the help of the forum.
