T-8 for me! We are truly ready for a vacation and are particularly looking forward to this one. 5 nights in BKK, 3 nights on Koh Samet and 3 nights in Chiang Mai. City, beach, hills/mountains. Eating great Thai food, shopping/haggling for treasures, and meeting up with a friend from Hong Kong. We're planning on seeing some sites we missed on our first trip and going back to a few that we saw last time - including Wat Arun for the laser light show. I'll post a report when we return! <BR>Oh - LYNN - hubby said the bowling sounds like fun! Thanks for the info.

Well, I don't know if I'm a guru but I sure love Thailand! <BR> <BR>Craig - That sounds good to me. Nothing wrong with being excited about a trip 12 months in advance! <BR> <BR>Beth - I've got one for you; T-415ish for Prague and Venice. I'm in the early planning stages only. Won't be thowing myself into that one until we get back from Thailand. <BR> <BR>jhm - We are seriously considering adding Siem Reap to our trip this November so I would love to hear all about it when you get back. <BR> <BR>Lynn <BR>T-125

Lynn, <BR> <BR>Good for you! If you want info on Venice let me know. I was there in January. <BR> <BR>I have been to Prague once but it was 8 years ago, and, it was a month long Eurail and backpack trip - I completely winged much of the trip so I don't have any books or notes on much of it (I do remember buying a Let's Go Europe and Rick Steves Germany/Austria for that specific trip, but that is it...) <BR> <BR>it was, of course, pre-internet days (in this form anyway). oh the horrors! how did we all survive. <BR> <BR>tongue in cheekly, <BR> <BR>Beth

Hi Lynn <BR> <BR>our number 1 travel destination is also South East Asia (especially Thailand). <BR>If you like to go to an unspoilt area for hanging around on the beach, try <BR>KHAO LAK (just an hours ride from Phuket). That place is like Krabi was 10 years ago. We stayed in March at the Bang Sak Beach Resort, which was an excellent value. But you will find also at the two other beaches (Bang Niang and Nathong) good accomodation. Also Khao Lak and Khao Sok National Park are not far away. Have lot of fun and an excellent stay in Thailand. Look also in homepage www.suedthailand.de for further accomodation. <BR>Bruno

I' m now T-4! <BR> <BR>Bruno- <BR> <BR>We are planning to stay at the Poseidon Bungalows just south or Khao Lak next spring. We're going to do their liveaboard snorkel boat that spends 2 nights around the Similans. Did you go out to any of the islands? The entire area looks great.

T-48 Till South East Aisa. From Singapore to Malaysia, to Thailand, to Cambodia. Then maybe Sri lanka. I'll see how it goes time and money wise. <BR> <BR>Ps Lynn. Thanks for the the Bangkok report. (got it a few months ago) Don't think I can afford the hotels you stayed in, (not all the time at least) but the Market reports were top notch : ) I might just buy myself a nice watch in Bangkok. <BR> <BR>Sean
