Hey Mike, I'm headed to Bangkok on Wednesday and would really appreciate your tailor's name/location, if you are satisfied with the suits. I was thinking of buying silk in Singapore, where I live, to save time and haggling. Sounds like tailors don't mind if you bring the fabric, huh?
unless you have been there you can't belive the color of green. i have been to 4 of the best of the far east thanks to the united states marine corps. if you have the chance do not miss it......
Hi Mike, I appreciate your willingness to share your experiences. I am going to Siem Riap in January and wanted to know if you might be able to recommend a hotel while I'm there, perhaps you could tell me which one you stayed at and whether or not you were pleased with it. Thanks
Hi Apatin24, In Siem Reap the Le Meridien Angkor is very nice indeed. You will pay extra for it but the rooms and staff are worthy of the only 5 star hotel in the area (OK by western standards it would only be a 3 or 4 star but compared to other hotels in the area it is among the best). Hope this helps- Mike
Hi Mike, I really enjoyed your trip notes. I was wondering if you could provide the contact details of Tek or the company he works for, so that I could set up a similar trip to Cambodia next year. I like the personal touch of having a local take you around the sites to provide an insight into recent history and culture. Thanks.
Hi JayDee, I have tried about 10 ways of getting you the info but it looks like Yahoo travel does not allow links or email addresses. If you search trip advisor for Tek Leng you will find the contact information. Have a great trip!
I just got back from a trip to Bangkok, Cambodia and Laos with a week in Phuket. That was a 3 week trip and worked well for me. I think you could pull off either trip but if it is your first time visting the region you might consider just visiting Thailand and Cambodia with 2 weeks.
