I am planning to visit Kaili and the villages around it but I have no idea how to get from Guizhou airport to Kaili. Besides, I will love to have some recommendation of hotels in Kaili and a travel agency or a guide to visit the villages around.
Planning a trip to Western Europe for early September, and traveling with my wife and our 18 month old daughter (11 days). It's my wife's first trip to Europe, i've been a handful of times. I know, I know, we should have fit Europe in before we had the baby.
We are set on Paris & Rome. We need recommendations for the 3rd spot. Since the first two are big cities, it would be nice to make the 3rd destination a smaller city, less mainstream, slower pace, with good scenery, good cafes and pastries.
We'll visit 3 destinations and stay a full 3 days in each place, to avoid to much moving around, checking in, checking out, transit. We'll leave a day of travel on the first and last day of the trip, for a total of 11 days. Traveling with a toddler is challenging enough, even if you're relaxing in one spot. The idea is to make the trip now, while the toddler flies for free, and ... more »
I have one question - in the summer (from 8.7 to 20/21.8) i'm travelling to Philliphines, but still haven't got air ticket to there. I come from Slovenia, Europe - small country, so the air tickets from our main airport usually aren't cheap - does anyone has any advice how should i search for cheap tickets - i can go to bigger airports such as Milan, Munich, Frankfurt etc - i can also first fly to Bangkok and from there with Cebu air to Clark or Manila... I'm basicly hoping for ticket around 700 eur. Is that possible? :)
Thanks, hope we'll find something :)

hope somebody cld help me. I'm around to apply for working holiday visa subclass 417.
My situation is:
I born in thailand.
Mum is thai, dad is british.
I've got dual citizenship, it means I'm holder of british passport.
I've never been in Australia before and I'm thai resident.
I want apply for this visa as a british citizen, I mean with british passport online.
Is there any possibility not to be successful?
Thanks guys, appreciate any help.
I am wondering, if there is a rule in the Thai Immigration law, that says, that if I want to re-enter the country, I have to have been in another country before? Because if that is not the case, couldn't I just buy a cheap AirAsia flight, check-in, go to the Airport in Bangkok, go through immigration and to the gate, but not boarding the plane, but going back and enter Thailand again? Or are those areas separated on the airport, which means without sneaking through somewhere I cannot get to the immigration desks to enter the country again?
Happy to hear your thoughts and I am not only interested about Thailand but other countries like Indonesia, too?
I'll be in NTT for my second visit (realy LOVED the place) from Aug 12th to Sep 10th, flying in and out of Denpasar.
Most important is revisiting Lamalera and get to explore Sumba.
After a night in Kuta flight to Maumere
Get to Larantuka
Get to Lewoleba, maybe rent a scooter and explore for a day or two.
Get to Lamalera, stay there until I crave for civilisation.
Back to Lewoleba
Get to Sumba somehow
Back to Bali and home :(
Now the Questions:
Kuta to Lewoleba:
Probably not possible to do in one day.
Should I try to get an early flight, press on to Larantuka the same day, spend the night there to get a morning feary?
Or is it safe to slep in Maumere (more/better options?) and catch a morning boat anyway?
How are the feary timetables?
Is Adonara worth it to break the trip for a day or two?
Lewoleba to Sumba:
So many possible ways to go... more »
Hi all, I realize this is a highly subjective question but here goes anyways... I will be in Brazil for a couple weeks the beginning of Brazil visiting a friend. The first part of the trip is all arranged--we are going to Sao Paulo, Rio, and Iguacu--but i get to pick the last destination (!). With so many amazing places to visit it is very hard to decide!
So, i am looking at:
The Panatal and/or Bonito (both or one over the other?)
Praia de Pipa
Thus far leaning towards the Panatal and/or Bonito or Praia da Pipa. Any thoughts greatly appreciated!
My wife and I have an opportunity to live and work in Shymkent (for a year or 2). What's it like to live in? We've been to Kazakhstan and know the score to an extent, but how about being in Shymkent long term?
We like cultures and exploring and particularly like the outdoors. We hear it doesn't get so cold there as in Almaty or Astana.
Thanks in advance
Hello, guys! im planning a 30day trip to india in july and want to ask some questions..
1) délhi (arrival/departure city to/from india), varanasi, thar desert, goa and hampi are the major places i want to visit! is there any other place i shouldnt miss while in india? im looking for more nature/spiritual places! i know im missing taj mahal, but i have to choose some places only, due to my lack of time.
2) i know july is monsoon season, but i have read that it is the best time to visit thar desert as well! should the rain really be considered an obstacle for my trip??
3) india is big, and i think the most efficient way of traveling is by air, but they are also more expensive. how good and cheaper are the train/bus?
4) my plan is to do some bouldering in hampi! anyone has any info about that?
5) are 30 days enough for me to visit all these places? i know it depends on how... more »
As a first time visitor to Lebanon I have some basic questions, f.i.:
- Where to go in Beirut (a particular bank or money changer) to change money – the best rate of exchange, no commission… ?
- Which currency would they prefer - € or $?
- Is it accepted if you want to pay your hotel bill with € or $, and not LBP?
