I took many over night trains in China... once you get used to sleeping on them it's good fun :) Thanks for the heads up bpl - I think nationwide have changed their deal with the flexi account. Thanks again, Hi Trotskakkerlak,

Excellent way to get used to time zones en coping with different cultures.

First time I went travelling I got my flight way too soon, though, and then had to work much much more to save up the money I needed… There tends to be a range of accommodation in Thailand depending on your budget, but the more you spend the more comfortable you’ll be. I personally didn’t mind a simple little hut on the beach… that’s perfect for me.

It's usually a good idea to book your first nights accommodation so that once you get there you don't have to worry about finding somewhere. After that, if you want to stay a few more nights (if it's a good place) you can usually just book them when you are there. If not you can continue onwards. As I said it really depends what happens and what you what to do... for example I did some scuba diving on Koh Tao, I roughly planned to stay a week but ended up staying for 2 weeks. That's the great thing about travel if you have the flexibility of time... you can stay when you find a place you really like and you can move on if the place isn't very good etc. There tends to be a range of accommodation in Thailand depending on your budget, but the more you spend the more comfortable you'll be. I personally didn't mind a simple little hut on the beach... that's perfect for me. If you do intend on staying somewhere for a week or more it could be worth bartering for a good discounted price. The best way to go is just simply go with the flow and enjoy yourself! Hope this helps, Paul @ TravMonkey.com Hi Tom,

More for where to stay rather than what to do? Great site by the way, I've had it book marked for a couple of months now.
