Scarlet Marie Member Philippines	# Posted: 13 Jan 2010 09:01:23 check out the Philippines. white sand beaches here like Boracay Island. You can check it out over the internet. Cost here is is very cheap. 1 usd is about 40 pesos hope this helps to one of your routes

There are often flights from international Airport Bangkok to Siam Reap or Phnom Penh. If you want to see the "real" life in Thailand you have to go to the North. Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai are nice places. But it is up to you, don't go to Koh Samui I was there twice but it was boring and there were to much tourists. I also travell in April to Bangkok! But then I go on to Hanoi/North of Vietnam ;-) hopefully you will enjoy your trip and get nice experience. Oliver Canada, Australia, South Asia
