Not entirely sure, its been driven by my mate. He was made redundant (he was happy with that!) and got a decent payout. His plan is to duck out of the rat race for 3-6 months and spent at least half the time in SE Asia. Myself, being in work, can only really take 7-10 days off in January (need to save my days for other holidays planned later in the year). So, once he decides what he is doing then I will join up with him for a part of his break. It will start in Bangkok, as it always does, then down to the Islands (Samui, Phagnan and Tao, possibly) but my mate has provisional plans for Laos and the Philippines as well. I think the lure of Angles City is too strong for him to ignore! I will more than likely head out with him to Bangers for a few days then down to Samui and see how we get on.
