Greetings from A
& F TOUR TRAVEL . For us the start of the new
year was exciting as we moved our office to the street level
on Silom Road next to Patpong We are now open 7 days a week
until 11.pm every day.
Time is going fast - after celebrating
western New Year, and then Chinese New Year, we are now heading
towards the next new year celebration: Thai New Year, or as
it is called locally Songkran - probably the most exciting
new year celebration of all. If you have never have experienced
it, we really recommend that you come and join us here in
Thailand from the 12 - 15 April for the Songkran Festival
or Water Festival as it is also called.
Thailand's tourist industry is going
full steam ahead and we would like to inform you of two of
the latest great destinations: Koh Chang and Khao
Lak
Koh Chang is Thailand's second
largest island - its easy to get their now since Bangkok Airways
operates direct flights to Trad and then it s a short journey
by ferry to get to this beautiful island covered in virgin
tropical rainforest and mountains. The island is still quiet
and there is very limited nightlife. However the beaches are
great and several luxury resorts have opened up recently.
Koh Chang is the perfect destination to get away from it all.
Most resorts have great facilities and spas, so you can pamper
yourself.
Khao Lak is the second destination
we would like to bring to your attention. To get to Khao Lak
you fly to Phuket and from their it takes you 1.5 - 2 hours
to reach the resort. Khao Lak is located on the mainland and
is still quiet. However the beaches are spectacular and if
you stay in one of the new luxury resorts you will probably
want to stay forever! Khao Lak has the largest swimming pool
of over 15,000 sqm or 3 acres. The hotels in Khao Lak are
less expensive than in Phuket or Koh Samui and some of the
new resorts are really a bargain if you consider what they
offer. From there you can make great trips to some unspoiled
islands like Similan Island and Surin Island which are part
of the national park.
It seems 2004 will be a great year
to travel and we will have some great deals for you. Not only
in Thailand will you find great bargains and new destinations
to explore - Vietnam is opening up more and more and soon
many nationalities wont require a visa any more - check before
you plan to travel there. Vietnam, with its extremely long
coastlines, has a lot to offer. Also, when you are in Thailand
it's easy to make a short stopover in Hong Kong or Singapore
as these two great cities only a two hour flight away.
For further information keep checking
our website - we will offer you many great deals in the next
few weeks so make sure you check often.
If you have any questions we are only
a CLICK away, or
you can contact us by MSN Messenger sales@aandftour.com
and you can chat live with us during office hours. Or just
give us a call

We looking forward to hearing from
you and remember - A&F Tour Travel
makes your dreams affordable!
