Looking for a stopover destination in Thailand? Koh Samet may not be the best choice due to overdevelopment. Consider Hua Hin instead, despite its downsides. Find out more about the top-level resorts and beach access options.
I have four nights in Thailand to break my economy flights to and from Europe with a mid-journey stopover. I had thought of Koh Samet but I hear it’s become overdeveloped since my last visit some 20 years ago. Koh Samet has come a long way over the last 20 years and if you want somewhere relaxing, friendly and undisturbed, it might be best to leave that memory intact. If you’re looking for somewhere that doesn’t involve a flight from Bangkok, my preference would be Hua Hin .
I have four days to fill at the end of June in Japan. Can you suggest a quiet ryokan with both an indoor and outdoor onsen within an hour or two of Tokyo?about a three-hour train and bus trip from Tokyo in the Japan Alps. These are the largest rotenburo or open-air pools in Japan and some of the most serene. Since it’s a foreigner favourite, Takaragawa is a great starting point if you’re new to the onsen world.
Shrines, bridges and pinewood changing rooms enhance the beauty of the natural surroundings. Each pool offers different depths and temperatures, and three are konyoku, mixed, while the Maya bath is women only. Accommodation is provided at the riverside guesthouse, Osenkakau, which has English-speaking staff.
I would like to go to Gallipoli, staying close to the battlefields rather than in Istanbul and explore both the Australian and New Zealand sites. Any recommendations for accommodation and tour guides for these areas?is a less expensive option, with tour guide Bulent Korkmaz singled out as knowledgeable and passionate. Another guide who also gets excellent reviews isis a small, three-star hotel close to the town of Gallipoli, with moderate prices and good reviews for its warm service and comfort.
The best islands for biking are Barbados, Anguilla, Bermuda and Jamaica. You might be better off beginning your travels with an organised group tour and there are plenty to choose from, includingis a UK-based operator with a guided cycle tour in Cuba. You can find plenty of trip reports online from cyclists who have biked in the Caribbean, such asis a Sydney-based writer and photographer who has been writing travel articles since 1982.
