Pesach in Thailand
« on: February 14, 2012, 12:57:25 PM »
Ladies & Gentleman,

I am looking to spend pesach in thailand with a few friends.

I want to do as close to strictly kosher as possible.

Want to keep the cost below 2k per person (Including flights from NY)

Ideally i would love to rent a large villa somewhere near a beach.

Would not want to travel to far from a hub airport.

Any suggestions?

Le Meridian Khao Lak Pool Villa.

Nice place but at $200 per night, its a bit above my price range. I'm looking for an entire villa i can rent for less than $100 per day.

You don't think it's possible?  If i was able to rent 6 bedroom vacation homes in VA beach & Key west for less than 150 a day, I'm sure i can do in Thailand, no?

don't know about USM, but CNX has a cheap hotel (about 30 $ per night) within 5 minutes walk from the chabad house (3 or 4 stars)

The LM CNX is awesome and dropping to a measly category 1 next week.
Best bargain in the entire SPG system IMHO.

Update: Ended up doing first days Pesach in Koh Samui, Last days in Phuket, and 2 additional weeks on Phi Phi islands.

All in all we had a great time, if anyone needs pointers etc feel free to ask.

Dunno about points, but you do get elite status.
