be aware there is a lot of construction going on at the mall of the emirates currently, a better Sheraton would be the `beach on in Dubai Marina

Hi All,

Back now - great trip.

Hong Kong: Great City. 5 days more than enough. Stayed at Tsim Sha Sui side, good and lively. The Peak was good, and even managed Disney Land (not as good as Euro Disney, but ok).

Bangkok: Great place, even with a kid and preggers wife. Hectic, and three days more than enough for shopping, eating and sight seeing (for us). Long tail boated it between the Grand Palace, and the Golden Buddha.

Banyan Tree - very good. Good bar at the top.
Pathunwan - on the return for 1 day. Also great, and probs a better location (Siam Square/MBK).

Phuket:
Grand Centara at Karon Beach - great place and great hotel. A bit quiet as a town, but hired a car so it was fine.
Kata was great for the nights.
Patong was also fine, even on the nights with a push chair, Bangla street was fun :-) The "working" girls/ladyboys were a good laugh, even with taking pictures with my little one in a push chair.

Did the Phi Phi Island on one of boats (not long tail), very touristy but did the job.

Dubai: didn't notice the Mall construction, but I am not a fan of Dubai anyway (always use it as stop over). Sheraton was good though.

Went to the Atlantis for the day, average. Also a total rip off.
Dubai Mail was impressive as were the fountains etc.

Thanks for all the help, hope my feednback helps anyone else searching..

That's me done for 2 years!
