Hi Guys,
thanks for the info. Would love to be able to stay at the places you mentioned but we are hoping to stay for 6 weeks this time and go to Phuket, Bangkok, Kanchanaburi, Pattaya and Chiang Mai. To be able to afford to do all this we are trying to cut back on accomodation costs. But with 2 kids (3 & 8) we are trying to find budget accom. but not nasty - as long as it is clean, has a pool and no creepy crawly's we will be happy as we intend to be very busy!!!. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
GERI - have a great trip, keep your ears to the ground and eyes pealed for me and don't forget a JBR when you get back....

Cheers

Karin
