Have a read through this web site http://www.anachak.co.uk/index.php its written by a work colleague of mine who has travelled extensively in Thailand and has family connections there, what he doesn't know about the place, its traditions and how to behave properly there isn't worth knowing.

Koh Samui is an amazing place, just off the mainland. Do 3 or 4 nights in Bangkok as it's defo an experience, and then go to KS for 10 nights and enjoy the experience of chilling out and the beaches and the more relaxing side of Thailand.

There are several sites around Weymouth that are pretty good we have used Haven in the past and if tou look through the horror stories they are pretty good, we've not hand any disasters, avoid Rockley Park Poole though as it is in the middle of nowhere and next to an RAF base..

Make sure you visit Dorchester market, a real old fashioned market with lots of good food, household stuff and clothes.

Monkey World isn't far away and it's a decent day out, even better value if you use Tesco vouchers.

We're off to Cornwall again this year, either Perranporth or St Ives.

cheers. i was looking at west bay on tinternet last night, only downside is the beach dog ban. im sure there will be dog friendly beaches somewhere up that way.
always fancied monkey world, but doubt theyd let the dog in?

cod ead. in july ive booked the following week off so wont make that.

Going nowhere. That is the financial crisis for you.

Nice to see cock measuring competitions are still in vogue.

Do you think so ?

I'm seeing lots of people saying that they are looking for cheap breaks, me included. Good luck to anyone who is young, has no home ties and has money to spend on world travel, do it, because you won't get a chance later.

For me I get a freebie few days in Portugal and I'm looking at renting a house somewhere (northumberland, lakes or scotland) for a couple of hundred quid so yes, I'm praying for a last minute deal, either that or fill the car up with that money and re-discover some of the remoter Dales (sounds like a good option).

Not going anywhere as I cannot afford it but I'd like to go to Russia if I had the money.

Cuba in April for a few weeks 11 of us going should be quite the trip.

Maybe try and get somewhere in September.... maybe east coast.

Make sure you get to Havana (for a few days if possible), amazing place.
