my summer trip
« on: June 28, 2011, 09:17:43 PM »
i have the following reservation on hold and wanted to get some feedback on how to most wisely spend my time

Wed Aug 17, 2011
Arrive BKK 5:30 PM 

Mon Aug 29, 2011
SIN-HKG CX
8:05 AM - 12:00 PM

Tues Aug 30
HKG-TLV 12:30 AM - 04:50 AM
 
i'm thinking of leaving bangkok to chiang mai thursday eve, so i would be in cm fri, shabbos, sun and mon. sometime tues i would fly chiang mai - phuket and be there until fri morning when i would fly to SIN for fri, shabbos and sunday.
i assume its not possible to go to koh samui instead of phuket if i also want to visit Singapore
 
Is there enough time in bangkok?
is there enough/too much time in singapore?
is singapore good for a shabbos stay?
any other feedback/tips?
too much time in chiang mai?
 
or i could flip around bkk and sin (arrive in sin instead of bkk) and be in bkk for shabbos

thanks

It really depends what you're looking for. Chiang Mia is the place to do the Thailand activities and there are plenty to do. Phuket more for the beach/relaxing.

Why couldn't you go to Koh Samui instead?

If you're leaving Friday, earliest you'll get to SIN from HKT is 12:30pm. You can be in SIN by 2:30pm from Koh Samui. Although, there is one stop.
So depends on your erev shabbos worries...

Or you could leave the night before...

or maybe i should switch bkk with sin, and theres plenty of flights from usm-bkk........

in which case i would be in bkk for shabbos, anyone with experience?

i noticed a few different option for shabbos meals, either BETH ELISHEVA SYNAGOGUE, or the OHR MENACHEM CHABAD HOUSE
