Cheap Flights from Bangkok to London or Germany

Hi there,

me and my boyfriend are currently in Australia and planing to go to Germany/London in July for a week for a wedding. However, we thought the cheapest option is to fly from Thailand to Europe, but unfortunately Air Asia flights to Europe are cancelled. :-(

Does anyone know of a low cost Europe to Asia carrier or know of any cheap deals coming up soon? Previously the cheapest way would have been Australia to Kuala Lumpur/Bangkok and then on to London/Frankfurt, but as the Air Asia flights are cancelled we are looking into any other alternative.

CHEERS, J&J

ATM Usage with VISA

Hi,

just reading about some of KBZ's and Co-op's banks ATMs now accepting VISA but have a couple of questions that I can't find the answers to.

1 - If you HAVE used one, where was it?
2 - If you HAVE used one, was there a limit to the amount you could withdraw?
3 - If you HAVE used one, was there a charge?

I'm sure this is going to be one of those topics that a LOT of people would like to know the answer to so PLEASE only reply if you HAVE concise information answering the above. Let's make it easy to get the answers please.
Thanks,
Elli

Apartments in Hua Hin

Hi

I am traveling around Thailand as of Jan 26th for a few months. I am looking to spend a good three weeks in Hua Hin relaxing, and doing Thai language lessons, but would like to rent an apartment rather than stay in a hotel or guest house.

Could anyone direct me to a good website, or know and could any recommended apartments in the area. I am looking to spend around 15,000, excluding deposit, for a three week stay.

Many thanks.

Which area to stay in Rome

My girlfriends parents are off to Rome in May and I am trying to work out which area would be best for them to stay in. I have never been to Rome so any help is great!

Anyway they would like a central area, they are happy to walk a couple of miles to see the sites but don't want to be in the suburbs. Ideally the area will have cafes and restaurants but won't be too noisy.........

Oh and the budget is up to €125/night for a double room.

Thanks.

Need input to decide itinerary in Visayas and Palawan

If you had to choose just one of these alternatives, would you spend a couple of days in Anda or with a motorbike on Siquijor?

How is Port Barton compared to El Nido in terms of the beachfront, offshore islands, accommodation, crowds? Last time is visited El Nido, and really liked it, was in November 2009. This trip will be right in peak season of late March/April, which can't be avoided if I want to go at all.

If I pick two of these four alternatives, would Sipalay on Negros come close and should it be considered as well?

Would anyone recommend skipping both Anda, Siquijor and Sipalay and instead head for Malapascua? Yes, I am a diver but don’t want my trip to be all about that.

Thanks!

Seat selection on Japanese trains

Hi,

Hopefully this is a quick question for someone familiar with the system. I cannot find a straight answer online, for whatever reason.

When I get to Japan, how will I know which trains require me to make a seat selection? Everywhere I see the question asked, they tell me to check Hyperdia - but I just want to know if I will be able to tell when at the railway station.

Also, when I buy tickets at the ticket booth/machine (not using the JR Pass), will this include the seat selection, or allow me to choose which seat selection level I want to pay (ie, Unreserved, Reserved etc)?

It's slightly confusing. I'd hate to pay not enough to travel, just because I hadn't paid the seat selection surcharge.

Thanks for your answers!!
