asia web direct
 
my mistake ia asked before about asia.com for booking but it is asia web that seems to have good prices
is this a reputable place to book and give my credit card info?

I haven't heard anything bad about them except that their cancellation/change fees are unclear and strictly enforced. But with any web booking site, it is a hassle to cancel and you'll end up paying something to do it. One thing to consider booking this early...do you want to prepay for something that you will have 9 months from now?

thats the dilemma- lots of things are indeed already sold out at xmas it seems
and what there is is very expensive (I need 2 rooms)
if I wait and try to book later on discount sites, I may well be out of luck

if asia web is a reputable company I may take the chance and book now so I at least know I have a place at the beach
thanks for your help on all my posts KimJapan!

Are you talking about Airasia.com? I just booked a flight with them on line from Bangkok to Bali and the price was indeed great. I'll let you know if all goes well.

the prices look pretty good to me but most hotels have not set their rates yet.....so ultimately you might be disappointed

no, I do mean asiawebdirect.com--
it is the site that frequently pops up when I google a hotel, as a discount site to book. it is one of the only sites that has prices and bookings avail this far ahead (makes me a bit suspicious!) but the sites do look profesisional, for what that is worth. I would love to know if anyone has used them!
thanks

i've used this website a couple of times and didn't recall any problem. but of course u always need to read the terms and conditions very carefully before deciding.
