Let me ask you this....what's the "oldest" structure/monument that you have ever visited?
That would be an interesting poll in the forum wouldn't it? Pranav |

Well Nimms............
u need 2 1st decide wht for u r going 2 vacation?Whether 2 enjoy the serene beaches or the fantastic ruins which will take u back few centuries in the history book. If its the 1st case I can b of some little help as i hv been 2 the place: If u r planning for a trip 2 S.E.Asia u shld club it in such a way so tht u can touch BGK,KL & Singapore.Reasons: Thailand: Bgk is a commercial city where there is nothing much 2 see but its a shopping paradise as far as duplicate stuff is concerned.There is this market called Platunam bazar which closes by 5pm which is worth visiting where u can really pick up good value for mony stuff.If u r addicted 2 computers/electronics then PANTIP PLAZA shopping mall is a must.Its a 7 floor market stuffed with everything and anything related to comp & the dupli softares u will find all even some which bill gates is just contemplating 2 launch.Price all flat 100 bhats siftware. The big shopping malls r BIG C,ROBINSONS where u get all label stuff & throughout the year some sale is going. Pattaya dn't go.Its promoted heavily but except the sleazy night life u will find nothing extraordinary there.Off Pataya they take u to nongnoch village,coral island but its all marketed very well...nothing great 2 apprecaite. U shld go instaed 2 either Phuket or Kosamui which r less commercial and beautiful with great beaches. KL in Malaysia shld go.Jenting islands dn't venture all hyped up with those essel world games.Go 2 either Penang or Langkawi both r beutiful beaches.Shop branded stuffs in KL as they r cheaper in shopping malls becos most of the factories r there in KL in S.E.Asia. Singapore u can hv a stopover for 2 nights.Dn't shop in mustafa as its expensive though its the only 24 hr mall tht is open.There r lot of good malls where u can shop.Visit Sentosa island which u will love and enjoy the city. Cambodia mandir u can go from thailand.I think its a 7 hr journey by land. Egypt I hv no idea becos i myself is contemplating 2 go & hv a cruise in the NILE........but its expensive...thts wht i heard of. all the best. js |

Jayantda I dont go with the same mood of that of any vacationer.. I like adventure, I like to see ruins.. I love to travel back in time when I go to such places..
Thanks for the details, but I guess I wont be able to make it this winter either.. mebbe the next pooja vacation or xmas vacation. Egypt is a bit expensive, but I am sure it is worth the money. Last year I couldn't make it coz of the Nile cruise dates were not clashing with the travel dates of mine. I wish and hope I should get to go there soon. This winter I might go for a 4 day outing probably to the Kabini river .. Let me see if I can avail the accommodation... as the place gets booked very fast. Thanks again for the details of Thailand and Bangkok. N |

A trip to Leh/Dharamashala is on the cards.. but dont know when! Here is an interesting link on Kabini - http://www.nivalink.com/kabini/ Even tho the place seems to have a hotel/resort kinda atmosphere, now with no fears of Veerappan and his lot.. I would love to pitch a tent and stay! The weather is superb for this kinda activity too. Europe and its neighbouring countries are some of the areas I have never been to. Wish o wish I could travel all the time... N |
