Honeymoon next year in South America - looking for 2 weeks in something approaching mainstream comfort and a week reasonably off the beaten track. Cartenga, Colombia for off the beaten track - anyone been? Or indeed, have any insights on Colombia?

Have been to thailand 4 or 5 times at this stage and have done all the main spots - samui, phanang, tao, phi phi, phuket, chiang mai, etc. I have a wk there next Jan and want to hit somewhere closer to Bk without having to get on a plane. Anyone been to Samet? Or have an alternative island...

Lads, I know there's a good few Thailand experts out there, I've been 4-5 times myself. But always to the islands. I have 5 days in Bangkok from next sunday and considering a couple of days up north in chang Mai. Would it be pointless going up for 2 days? Can get a air asia flight for 60 notes.

Long shot but has anyone been? I have an opportunity for 2 days in Rangoon in a few weeks and was wondering if it's worth it. Probably wouldn't be willing to stray any further than Rangoon though. Things to do in rangoon? Visa situation? Safe? Cheap? Hotels? Cheers

Here's the deal; i'm heading home in late november for good (so one way flight). Intend on spending about 3 weeks seeing somewhere new en route - one final adventure if you will. I'm in NZ. Money is not too much of an issue (within reason). I'm struggling to get flights to South America (which...

I know bangkok quite well from past visits but different budget/mindset this time - i.e. i'm going with the girlfriend as opposed to a bunch of horned up alco mates. Any advise on half decent places to stay? Have end of trip accomodation booked in Siam Square so would prefer to split...
