    Italy - Rome, Venice & Florence

    Went italy on a 2 weeks trip in Jul, DIY, didn't join any land tours. However, I think if u want to cut down on cost, might be better to go with tours. Of cos, there's not much room to shift your itinerary or plan your time. If you are planning to DIY, I would recommend you check out...

    Accommodation in Krabi

    Hi, Just came back from Krabi. Stayed at Sheraton Krabi, very nice resort. Food is good and reasonably priced too. However, it's about 20min car ride to Ao nang beach, where most activities/shopping are. But Krabi is not as developed as phuket, so not that much shopping/good restaurants...

    Best Buffet in Bangkok?

    For me, the best thai restaurant in bkk is baan kanitha at soi ruam rudee (near conrad hotel). Food is fantastic and service is good. The ambience at the restaurant is good too.

    Silhouette the Atelier

    I'm full of praises for Silhouette too. Had my wedding end of last year. To me, they seem nicer than shops like Ted Wu, bridal veil as they do provide things like kua if you request for them. & at least you get to meet the designer before you actually sign up. Minda is also very nice to...

    Maldives

    hi bonjon, I spent about $5-6k for 5 nites in the 2 resorts. we booked during Natas fair, so it was cheaper. The amount above includes all our expenses there except for souvenirs (not much to buy anyway). It also includes a 2 hr spa session at banyan tree.

    Hi eggie, I'm also a silhouette bride. So far, experience with my designer minda has been good. It's better to sign up with photographer thru the boutique, if you go to photographers on your own, they typically charge u more.

    Grand Hyatt Singapore

    Take note that if u want 1 server to 1 table... you got to pay extra. And the package only include roses for deco... Not the more expensive tulips or lilies. Actually after adding up all these... hyatt is not exactly that cheap.
