Honeymoon in Asia
« on: September 29, 2012, 10:50:28 PM »
Looking to fly from Israel in March to somewhere in Asia on the way back to the US. I am looking for a serene beach gorgeous place. I have 8-9 days. I was thinking of Koh Samui in Thailand because I can get Kosher food in BKK and maybe Chiang Mai. Would love to hear some thoughts. If I do Thailand what is the best place to go? Best hotel?

I can also go the Maldives but I can't get Biz on the flights. Bali was also recommended to me.

Thanks

If you have/can get HIlton points, Conrad Koh Samui would be my pick for the best value.

I got it from jetsetter on a flash sale (it was in off season/augst and I think it was around 280. After doing research I got the lowest level room-which is what I advise. The 2nd level room,I think its called the lagoon room, is the exact same size and room type,except its on the lagoon. All that means is that its near the water. My friendd took that room and he said it was terrible bec much more mosquitos and lizards. And u barely see the "lagoon". Stick to the reg room.its perfect very large and gorgeous.

according to the averages 86% of the time it is cloudy there in August so although you got lucky why risk it, the world is such a big place you might as well go somewhere in season.
