Britons erupt over delays
According to the report some Britons slept for the eighth nights at Suvarnabhumi International airport with only a trickle finding seats back to London. The airlines were accused of:

• Smuggling VIPs onto flights through ‘staff’ check-in desks to avoid angry confrontations.

• Denying they have seats but offering them on the internet for up to £3000.

• Refusing to accept FIM – Flight Interruption Manifests – in favour of cash buyers

Romantic weekend for Valentine's day special

2010-02-03T02:14:00.000-08:00

Romantic Weekend Getaways

Some of the most romantic weekend getaways exist in the most populated destinations in the US. Here are a few to consider.

I’ll Take Manhattan. You can spend a fabulous weekend in New York City and stay either at the Marriott Hotel on Broadway, for example, which is right near the Theatre District; or you can book a weekend at the Plaza Hotel overlooking Central Park. Perhaps you would like to stay at the Mandarin Hotel and Spa where you can both be pampered for the weekend. No matter what your budget is; Manhattan is more than accommodating.

Needless to say, Manhattan is considered one of the most romantic spots in the U.S. Whether you enjoy dinner in your hotel suite or dine at any one of the five star restaurants, the night is always young for lovers who seek solitude in a city that hosts millions of tourists each year. Whether you take a carriage ride through Central Park, enjoy an opera or symphonic performance at Lincoln Center, or walk along Fifth Avenue during the evening hours; the city offers something for everyone.

San Francisco. With its rolling hills, fantastic cuisine, and friendly people; San Francisco offers hotel stays that are sure to enhance your romantic side. Among the most notable hotels are the Fairmont hotel, located in the Nob Hill area; the Mandarin Oriental, which is known for its best views of the Bay and the city; or the downtown W San Francisco hotel that is close to cable cars, shopping, restaurants, and theatres.

Stroll along Fisherman’s Wharf and stop by Ghirardelli Square where you can pick up some of their famous chocolate before having dinner at one of the many seafood restaurants there such as McCormick and Kuleto’s, where the panoramic view of the Bay, as well as Alcatraz island; both of which are a stunning backdrop. You may also wish to stop by O’Neill’s Irish Pub for an after-dinner drink. You may leave your heart here after departing this great city by the Bay.

Las Vegas. Time will stand still at this resort destination. With a myriad of hotels to choose from you can enjoy your time here without having to worry about time, because there are no clocks in the casinos.

With great weather year round (hot, but always dry), you can wile away the early morning hours at the hotel’s pool and enjoy the evening attending a fabulous show or visit lady luck at the casino.

Whether you take a stay at the Venetian Hotel and enjoy a romantic ride on a gondola; enjoy the Spa and Salon at the Hotel Bellagio; or marvel at the lush indoor gardens, aquarium, and the Secret Garden at the Mirage; Las Vegas is both affordable for any budget and is the perfect weekend romantic getaway.

Lake Placid. Far away from the maddening crowd, you will find comfort and romance at the Mirror Lake Inn. With gorgeous mountain and lake views, fireplace, and very large tubs, you will find the accommodations more than satisfactory. In fact, they are quite conducive to a romantic weekend.

Among the many things you might like to do is to take a walk to the neighboring town of Lake Placid, only two miles away. Here you will find shops along Main Street and you can stop at the Cottage for lunch. Swimming, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking are some of the activities available at Mirror Lake Inn.

The calm and quiet ambience of this Inn is the perfect weekend getaway destination for couples.

I was talking to a friend of mine who owns a company that makes promottional materials because I went to her office and she was full of boxes for the various promotional materials ready to ship to Bhutan.

Bhutan a rich in different cultures, traditions, life styles, ethnic groups, languages and belief systems.

Bhutan has a population of over half a million people and speaks around 19 different dialects few major languages.

Bhutan people are buddhists and many monasteries and temples to visit If you happen to go to Bhutan the place you shouldn't miss is the Taktsang Monastery . The Taktsang Monastery clings on a cliff.
Taktsang Monastery is regarded as a
power place because Guru Rinpoche the founder Tibetan Buddhism is said to have done his meditation in the caves there.

This Taktsang Monastery is one of the most beautiful places to visit. I personally hope I can be able to go during my stay in Bangkok. If I go I will bring you more information if I don't I will share pictures from friends who went their for their honeymoon

Travel web hosting

2009-08-19T00:23:00.000-07:00

My friend who is opening up a travel business service asked me for some information regarding webhosting. Im not tech person but when it comes to getting great information from the web Im good at it.

First I knew it is useless going round the internet looking for hosting packages I knew I needed a website hosting review website which could help me advice on a good web host who is recommended by users who are actually using the service.

And guess what I found?

I found Web hosting rating and reviews at website hosting to be very very useful. Why they are unique is that website hosting gives you independent reviews of the best web hosting providers plus this information comes with information on cheap professional web hosting services under $10 a month meaning that it gives more than just a company name it helps you decide by giving the features and bonuses included with the packages like all webhosting plans that include at least one free domain name registration and 30 day money back guarantee.

I'm very happy to pass on this information to my friend who will definitely benefit alot as all the work has been done for him. If you are too looking for web hosting plan I recommend you check this website and you will be surprised how easy it will make work for you.
And before you go remember to check other parts of the website like the blog and help yourself to all the information you can have to make your decision making process a fruitful one.
Thanks website hosting for this great service I will be recommending it to my friends!

Imagining Bangkok: 6 year old drawing of Bangkok

2009-08-10T08:52:00.000-07:00

We have lived in Bangkok on and off for 4 years now. Last week my son decided to put on paper the Bangkok he knows.

Enjoy!

ps. If you travel Bangkok you can always drop us a mail if you need to get in touch with a local travel agents for packages around. I help friends in booking trips locally whenever they plan to come to Bangkok. It's really nice when you arrive and someone waiting for you at Airport to your hotel without really so much trouble.
The first time I arrived here, I now look back and say I wish I had someone who could have helped me around atleast for the first few days.

Stay tuned as I have more drawing from my son on other places he has visited

Hot travel deals from Southwest and Airtran

2009-07-08T17:35:00.000-07:00

Ticket sales at Southwest and AirTran airlines are aimed at enticing travelers eager for a fall vacation for less than $200 -- but only if they seize the opportunity before the end of the week.

Free Tourist Visa in Thailand

2009-07-07T01:43:00.000-07:00

Thai government extends visa fee waiving to one year
July 2, 2009 in Destinations
Thai government extends visa fee waiving to one year(Forimmediaterelease.net) Continuing its efforts to expedite the revival of the Thai travel and tourism industry, the Royal Thai Government has agreed to extend the exemption of the visa fee for tourist visa applications until March 4, 2010.

The exemption will apply to all applicants for visa on arrival at all international airports in Thailand, as well as those applying at Thai embassies and consulates abroad for stays longer than the period for which they are normally eligible.

Thailand presently gives a visa on arrival for citizens of 20 countries for a stay not exceeding 15 days. Citizens of another 42 countries are allowed a visa-free stay in Thailand not over 30 days.

Those who wish to stay longer than those periods have to apply for visas at the Thai embassies or diplomatic missions abroad before their arrival in Thailand.

The extension is one of several measures taken by the Thai tourism industry to revive itself in the wake of a number of global and local events that have led to a temporary decline in visitor arrivals.

According to TAT chairman Mr. Weerasak Kowsurat: “As a result of the global economic downturn, the worldwide travel and tourism sector has declined as people have become more cautious about spending on leisure and business travel. Hence, the government has implemented many measures to enhance Thailand's competitive advantage and strengthen our country's unique qualities."

Other recent measures include a reduction of landing charges for aircraft and reduced entry fees for national parks. On June 1, the “Package Tour for Transfer Passengers" initiative was introduced. Transfer passengers making a stopover of 6 to 12 hours at Suvarnabhumi International Airport can take short tours of Bangkok and the surrounding area.

In order to tap the weekend break for short-haul countries, TAT has also introduced a 72-hour travel program guide book to several provinces including Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Pattaya. The most recent program guide book in the series is 72 hours in Hua Hin.

In 2008, Thailand welcomed around 14.59 million international visitors, a growth of only 0.88 percent.

In January through April 2009, visitor arrivals to Thailand totalled 4.7 million, down 14.7 percent compared to the same period last year. While most markets showed varying rates of decline, arrivals from the Middle East grew by almost 11.5 percent and arrivals from south Asia were up 3.6 percent.
