My wife and I have gotten some cheap tickets to Thailand in November and we have decided to go to Phuket. We went there many years ago (as you can see from this early trip report http://gardkarlsen.com/thailand.htm ) but after that we have only checked out other places in Thailand. This time we have decided to stay at a place called Avista ( feeds@yuku.com (gardkarlsen) http://europetogo.yuku.com/topic/8398 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 12:00:09 GMT http://europetogo.yuku.com/topic/8330/t/My-trip-report-from-Phnom-Penh-Cambodia.html
My wife and I went to Vietnam and Cambodia during Easter this year. This is the last part of the trip report and this time we have come to Phnom Penh, the capitol of Cambodia. It is not really a main tourist destination and it does not have a number of attractions like some other cities. But we got to experience a city where people were celebrating New Year with dancing and games in the street. But places like Tuol Sleng S-21 torture prison and killing fields reminded us about... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (gardkarlsen) http://europetogo.yuku.com/topic/8330 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:25:36 GMT http://europetogo.yuku.com/topic/8309/t/Thailand-in-February-March-2010.html feeds@yuku.com (mcbg1) http://europetogo.yuku.com/topic/8309 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:16:32 GMT http://europetogo.yuku.com/topic/8271/t/New-Zealand-visit-February-2010.html

First the logistics, we saved miles for awhile and secured 4 business class seats on AA/Japan Airlines for the trip. I can't imagine doing it in coach!

Can anyone recommend a high quality tailor in Bangkok? I need to have some suits made, so the choice of fabrics available is important. Somewhere near the Oriental would be ideal.
