Ko Phangan Sahthiya in Ko Phangan or Santiburi in Koh Samui for honeymoon?
Posted: Wed November 4, 2009 02:29 PM UTC
Hello All, This is my first time posting on this forum. I hope to get some feedback about these 2 resorts. I am planning my honeymoon in Thailand and wanted to know which of these 2 Resorts are more luxurious. I am looking for a quiet romantic 7 day trip. I looked through the pictures for both resorts and I love the vibes I am getting from Santhiya. Fro several reviews I gathered that Santiburi is also really great but I feel the rooms in Santhiya or Melati are much bigger and many have attached private pools. Whic of the 3 resorts would you recomend for an ultimate honeymoon getaway?

Santhiya
Melati
Santiburi

Thanks!!!!

Phuket Where to stay
Posted: Wed November 4, 2009 07:10 AM UTC
Hi,

I have just booked a flight to Phuket for next Tuesday for myself and my partner. But have absolutely no idea where to stay. I've looked up Asianrooms.com and there are so many different hotels to choose from. I have no idea where to start.

We love snorkelling, It would be lovely to stay on a beach front or somewhere very near, we don't really like partying into the night, but would like to be near some food places, bars etc, Our budget is low to mid range. But fancy a hotel rather than back packing this time.

Any Help would be wonderful

Many Thanks,

Emma

Ko Samui Ko Samui Questions
Posted: Wed November 4, 2009 12:43 AM UTC
Hi I am heading back to Ko Saumi in November 2010 to celebrate my 20th wedding anniversary.

Last time we were there it was July. I understand November is the wet season but I was wondering what the weather is generally like? Does it rain all the time or is there sunshine and heavy downfalls?

I was also wondering what people may suggest as must see's. We did alot of the the tourist stuff last time but I am sure we missed things.

Looking forward to your replies

Ko Phi Phi Don Catching a ferry to Phi Phi - where to arrive & buy tickets...
Posted: Fri October 23, 2009 03:38 AM UTC
Just need a bit of clarification...Is Rassada pier right in Phuket town? If so, can we take a mini bus from the airport into town and walk to the pier or is it better to take a taxi and go directly to the pier (trying to stay on a budget)? Is it better to book my ferry tickets in advance or should we just buy them when we get to the pier? We will be arriving mid-December. Thanks!

Phuket Nice beach for relaxation on Phuket
Posted: Wed October 21, 2009 11:15 AM UTC
Hi!

Me and my husband are travelling to Phuket mid of December for one week (part of pur Asia trip). We have been to Thailand before but this would be our first time in Phuket. My question is where to find the best beach for swimming and some relaxation. We are trying to avoid very noisy and touristic beach stuffed with people, jetskis and speedboats. For us a quite beach with some local restaurangs would do. I've read on the net about Kata Noi. Would that be your choice or? Please help us find our little paradise on Phuket. Thanks!!!

Kind Regards,
Zana

Phuket Accom. for family of 5!
Posted: Fri October 16, 2009 01:11 PM UTC
Hi everyone!
Hoping to head to Phuket (Patong!) with the wife and 3 kids (18,12,9) in early April '10 for 3 weeks.
Have done much researching and gathered invaluable help from these forums.What I'm looking for is some recommendations for hotels/apartments that can accommodate five without the need for two rooms which tends to blow the budget! Priorities are a resort style pool
close proximity to shopping & all the action
& preferably a bit of 'Thai' influence in the decor/architecture (don't wish to feel like we're in Melbourne!)
A view would be nice too
Budget around $125-150 AUD per night. Will stretch this for right property.
I know it's a lot to ask for the money but fingers crossed you guys can help!!
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Phuket Re: Karon Beach Resort (anything to do in the day?)
Posted: Sun October 4, 2009 02:50 PM UTC
Hi everyone,

Myself and my partner, will be staying at the Karon Beach Resort in February 2010. Having read information about Karon, there doesn't seem to be a vast amount to do or see during the day. (ie, shops, restaurants)

Can anyone tell me what Karon Beach has in way of facilities?

We didnt want to stay in the heart of Patong, but we also dont want to stay somewhere that is too quiet.

We are a young couple, who like to be occupied.

Any help with the above, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Anton

Krabi Hot Springs and elephant treks
Posted: Sat October 3, 2009 08:02 AM UTC
Hi everyone,
Just wondering, Im not too keen on organised tours, is it possible to rent a motorbike from Ao Nang to make the trip to the hot springs and emerald pool, or would I need to rent a car for that trip?

Also, although its not my cup of tea, my partner wants to do an elephant trek. Does anyone know which is better - the one near Ao Nang or the one on Ko Lanta? i.e better experience, better treatment of elephants, nicer trek etc etc?

Thanks for your help!
