We were planning not to go until next year, but I saw the cheap flights that Jetstar were offering from Melbourne to Bangkok and thought "bugger it". It only cost us $2250 aus for flights for the 4 of us.(Myself ,Kerry and the 2 boys)
We are staying for 17 nights and will proberbly divide our time between Bangkok and Phuket. Now I can spend the next 4 months planning all the bits in between

this made me laugh when I saw it it is the sort of thing that i would do but then think in between it's too long I will book somewhere in between.

Something nice to look forward to and when you have a bad day you can always go not tooooo long to go for that break to Thailand. I wish I had that thought in my mind, even though I have been looking up to go in July but it is only a day dream.

we took up the jetstar cheap tickets for november cost us 61 buks each way plus taxes a total of about 900 with meals for 2 adults and 600 -700 of that is for taxes , which blows

A few hours after booking the flights, I had a meeting with the local radio station to plan our advertising for the next 12 months. Guess what they offer me as an incentive ? A 7 day. all expenses paid trip to Phuket in August. (someone up there is looking after me) The only issue is that it is one ticket only and I dont really want to leave Kerry at home alone with the kids (we have only just recently moved, away from family and friends and lack any support structure). I could take her, and fly her mum and dad up here to look after the kids but it will end up costing more than our trip in October will for the 4 of us.
Decisions, decisions.....

Hi Shane,

Ask the radio station if there is another deal for the 2 of you. You'd probably have to take more advertising but I don't think it would be double. Then ask her Mum and Dad to look after the kids at your place. You can only ask!
