All very true, except that I do know people who have had malaria. Not flu....

Ok, well, all sorted now - I pick up my Malarone tomorrow here in UK....

I'veleft my visit to the travel clinic here in UK a tad late - getting a bit blase about it, I guess. Anyway, I'll be heading up to Laos...

Yep, tried the search function for LP, but none of the threads I found actually adressed my requirements....

I'm looking for recommendations, we're spending a night in Vientiane on the way up to LP, and prolly another night there on the way back....

Furniture? In a suitcase?

yep, tc's are the way to go. As tbl says, 33B per cheque so get big ones. In UK Lloyds issue sterling TCs foc, so the 33b is the only fee -...

But what about heavier items? Couple of times I've been tempted to buyfurniture, but have no idea how to ship it.

Hmm... never tried Archa - never seen it....

That's a good price these days. And Etihad are OK....

Gotta be a wind up....

I used sterling t/c s last month, no commission from LloydsTSB. As said previously, 33B commission per cheque (so take high denominations)...

Hmm, bad luck, udornia....

I stayed at Thipurai city inn, c. 1200B a night 18 months ago, thru agoda.com....

Jeez, glad I visited back in 2004. No photo, just buy a ticket and off you go........
