Thailand ...
So after nine days in Dubai , we will be heading to Thailand for two weeks,
We have plans to visit Phuket as we have family there, then take a day trip to Phi Phi - have looked at some already but it's blagged my head - any suggestions???? HELP
Then with my best friend, i shall be meeting up with her in Bangkok and we shall visit the Skytower and then the next day we shall travel to Cambodia via train and bus.
We spend 3 days in travelling and seeing Cambodia - i think !!! We will be going to Angkor Wat and on our return we spend a night in a hotel in Bangkok to see the other tallest tower- the one in Hangover 2 if anyone knows it. I've forgotten all the names. Forgive me!!
After Cambodia we will all be flying to Surat Thani where we will get a ferry to Koh Samui and will do the islands for the next few days. Then a flight back to Bangkok ready for a good nights rest before we fly onto Sydney !!!!
The ferry websites are very good :

NO PLANS FOR SYDNEY YET - please help !!!

Welcome
Hey there !!!
Welcome to our new travel page which we will keep you upto date with our plans and whilst travelling, we will try our best to keep you upto date with our travel plans!!!
So September 1st 2014 - we depart London to Dubai eeeekkk !!!
Dubai
So here we have decided to rent an apartment to try and cut the cost of living , so we can cook for ourselves or at least have some brekky to save those pennies.
Another thought we had ; was to get the Dubai entertainer which for those of you who need educating - it a 241 voucher booklet for restaurants and activities in Dubai. Have tried searching Ebay for a used one so it's cheaper however they all have used the Aquaventure and monorail tix which are the ones i am most interested in !!
Anyways, it seems it is better to get it on your phone anyway so we don't have to carry the booklets around with us !!! What do people think of this ?
We have arranged to go to the Burj Kalifia with our friend, we will go for Sunset and go on the water boat ride at the front where we will get to view the dancing fountains. Although I have already done this, Luke hasn't and i know he will love it and i am excited to go up the Burj K for the first time. Tickets can only be booked a month in advance.
We will also be going to Aquaventure which we are very excited for, we have been advised not to do the lost chambers as it is just fish in an tanks and apparently a waste of money. We also want to do the dubai safari :)
Anyone with ideas on how much taxis are from the airport?
Catch me again for the next segment !!!
Sophie & Luke
Update : http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_discover_dubai_Dubai_Souks_8330.aspx - great site to help me out with finding out where the Souqs are in Dubai - must see is the Gold , perfume , spice and Old souqs either side of the creek.
