Sawasdee Karp,
Back and what a great time I had even though I went with my older brother & my Dad.
It cost us $1300 + $ $140.00 insurance which got us Flight on 747 to Bangkok, flight too Phuket, 8 nights @ the Patong Beach Lodge, Flights back too Bangkok, 6 nights @ The Grand China Princess (Don't Recommend).
In Patong hire a Scooter if game enough & in Bangkok catch Taxi Meter - around 60baht each trip beats the Tuk Tuk who will try and charge 200baht for same journey. Very Cheap to eat I recommend the Number 6 bar best Squid in Garlic Pepper ever 100baht & all other food is great & cheap.
By Dvd's in Patong cheaper than Bangkok. Get your Clothes in Bangkok @ Puhtunahm Market get good deal when buying 10+ 100-120baht for grouse Diesel/Von Dutch etc. Goto Sampeng Market in Chinatown for good shopping also!!!!
Met a beautiful (Soi Jing Jing) thai girl named (Wasana/On/Anna) on the second night in Bangla Road she was serving drinks @ her friends bar (Joy Bar) in Soi Dragon. She eyed me off the Previous night @ another friends bar where she go after work Right up the back of the Tiger Beer bar as far as you can walk down left side can't remember the name? People always ring the bell which means 'shout the bar'
Took her & 7 friend in back of Tuk Tuk to Safari Club (can recommend) after we spent time in the bar accross from Bangla on The Main Street. Out of the 14 nights I never spent 1 night in the hotel I was staying @ !!!! Party, Party & More Partying!!!! Anna then came too Bangkok with us & took us too many places without her would have had trouble.
I'm going back in July not sure dates new special have just come out can fly Thai return for $916.00 from Melb. Then travel AirAsia from Bangkok to Patong stay 14 nights for 2 people about 10000baht not much at all, then will go and visit Anna's family up North then most likely we will both fly back to Melbourne!!!!
Stupid me when got out of Taxi lost my camera/video with over 220 photo's & video on it. Might be lucky to get it back has offered a reward to taxi company thanks to Anna who also speak great English.
Would have been good to be their with some TA's or mates but had the trip of my life, and the next will be better as I know where to go now.
Will had more info soon as i'm still feeling jetlag & tired has slept for 3 hours everynight over in thai if I slept @ all
Anyway good luck to those who are heading over, might see you their in July for some 
times!!!!

| How much did you save up for this trip? |
| quote: |
| Here's the thing, the decision to do this trip only came about last week really. However I estimate a minimum of 3K will be required (budgeting 3.5K with spending money), which I should have before November. I'll whack as much as I can on the credit card |

| Phuket - Koh Samui - Koh Phangan - Koh Tao - Bangkok! |
Has anyone been on the James Bond tour?
Is it worth the $$?
Any one recommend any tours in Phuket - Koh Samui - Koh Phangan - Koh Tao ?
woot, I'm probably off too.
Borneo's been scrapped for the FMP in january.
Probably gonna fly over on Jetstar ($900) then maybe a day or two in Bangkok or Koh Samui, about 7 days on Koh Phangan (NYE, Full moon and a few days either side), and then back.
Should be sweet!
Seems like everyone's off to Thailand 
Going to Bangkok and Koh Samui in Feb for 10 hot (and dry) days

I reckon you could go on $10-15 food a day and $10-15 accommo a day I'll be in thailand from Jan 5 - Feb 16, pretty much partying and beaching around for most of the time on the islands, a couple jungle trecks in the north and then exploring vietnam can't wait! |
well it was a conservative budget :P
won't be going this year. as life would have it my priorities changed and travel has moved down the list, but I definitely plan on hitting up SEA within a few years.
As I was there five years ago I am not sure how much things have changed. What is the average cost fo a meal in a restaurant? How much money should I have saved for 8 days (with shopping in bangkok).
