Thailand for Christmas

About a months ago the husband and myself started talking about what we were going to do for Christmas. We could feel the Swiss winter sneaking up on us and the last thing we felt like was another cold, dark Christmas. We had a couple ideas, visit family in LA, stay in Switzerland and do the Glacier Express, Egypt and the late comer to the list, Thailand.

To help us make a decision we drew up a spreadsheet to compare expenses and duration of stay for each destination. Surprisingly, or maybe not, staying in Switzerland and spending 3 nights in the Swiss Alps worked out the most expensive. Next came LA and then Egypt, Thailand worked out the least expensive for the most number of days... how could we say no to that, add in the sunshine and beach and Thailand is our winner :)

Once we made our decision we booked flights with Swiss and Stu got in touch with a place he stayed on Ko Phayam, Ranong, Bamboo Bungalows whislt he was volunteering in Thailand a few years back. So flights and accommodation are booked, and then the floods hit. We are watching the situation closely but we are confident that we will be ok as long as BKK remains open!

So very excited to get to Thailand and relax for 8 days.
