[zenn]

Hi celtricia,
Did not receive your email. Can you resend pls? [email protected] Thanks!

Hi racherlle,
Evason Koh Samui is a great choice! I just back from Evason Hua Hin. If I ve see Koh Samui earlier, will definately go there. Have you find out the price?

 

[fanyong]

Hi gals,

Let me intro myself too... Me 26, ROM this yr.... customary next next Sat.....

Hi nyny,

Wow one more additional night cost 3k baht per pax is considered ex leh... is it for deluxe room or junior suite? if junior suite then OK lor... but a bit ex for deluxe leh.... is bussaya the one who replied u?

 

[nyny]

hi oraia
deevana's website is www.deevana.com from the website, it looked nice leh. but seem not very popular.

hi fanyong
ya, bussaya is the one who replied me. and it's really strange leh. i sent 2 mails to her from my difference account. the price that she quoted me (same room type - deluxe), is different!!!
i wonder why....

 

[novgal]

good morning ladies!

wow!! seems like all of u are pretty young, except for nyny and i

hi racherlle,
ur HM certainly sounds interesting.. Koh Samui and Switzerland

hi fanyong,
so u must be bz since ur customary next sat! where are u holding ur dinner?

hi oraia,
i agree with racherlle on Evason Koh Samui.. looks really great for HM!! u may want to find out more info : http://www.sixsenses.com/hideaway-samui/index.php

 

[fanyong]

Hi nyny,

Could one be deluxe pool/ garden view and another be deluxe pool access? cos pool access is more ex as u can walk to the pool dirctly from ur room....
For me, she quote 5,400 per pax for deluxe pool view...


hee novgal,

[nyny]

hi fanyong
can't help you much on the co-ordinator thingy. 'cos mine was not in the hotel/restaurant. but understand from my friends that you will meet up with your co-ordinator i think 2 or 3 hours before the dinner time for briefing.

 

[novgal]

sorry fanyong,
my AD next year.. heard from some of my frens that emcee was only involved during the briefing thou. perhaps u can join the Oct04 brides to seek for more advice on the co-ordination?

 

[celtricia]

[zenn]

Hi celtricia,

Wow family event ya! Thanks thanks for ur photos. Btw, which resort did you stay in krabi?

How much is Evason Koh Samui?

 

[oraia]

hi girls,

thanks for the reccomendations.

zenn~ how is evason hua hin? i thought of gg there, but decided to go phuket instead.
racherlle~ evason phuket nice ah??

nyny~ will chk out deevana too, thanks!

anyone knows whr its cheaper to book via travel agent at natas or directly w the resort? cos some of the resort prices seem v v steep. (eg. banyan tree, while agent prices are much cheaper?)

 

[celtricia]

hi zenn...

ya.. we luv to go for holidays together.. more fun mah.. hee..

we stayed at Aonang Villa Resort in krabi.. a very nice place..

the price for evason is 10,944 baht to 94,970 baht...

 

[zenn]

Hi oraia,
Very nice! We stayed one nite in beach front (sea view) and 2 nites in Pool Villa (with private pool). Love the pool villa

From pix Evason phuket and hua hin seems similar but I think phuket is more x. Evason Koh Samai seems best cos they ve the bed facing the sea....

Hi celtricia,
Agreed but difficult to ve all available at the same time.

The price varies so much? Any idea pool villa how much?

 

[celtricia]

hi zenn..

dat's y most of d time we arrange half a yr b4 hand lor.. n mostly is during sch holidays.. heh.. but den again.. there's always some of our relatives who can't make it.. so use to it liao.. kekeke..

yup dat's d price range lor.. hee.. tot u went b4? whh one did u go to for evason? can check it out frm their website mah.. hee..

 

[racherlle]

hi gals!!
Evason Koh Samui is really great rite?
ahhh heheeh i love there a lot!

another great HM hotel is the Four Seasons Hotel Maldives! juz love the water bungalow!!
totally luxurious!!

 

[oraia]

hi zenn/ racherlle,

wow! sounds good already!!!

i just took a look at evason koh samui!! am drooling over the pool villa suites!!! rachelle, u stayed there before? is it as beautiful as the pics?

how how? shd i go phuket(pool villa) or koh samui? (pool villa suites) *stressed* hehehe.

 

[zenn]

Hi celtricia,
I went to the one at Hua Hin. The website only show package price. I ve email them for per nite but ve yet to receive their reply.

Hi racherlle,
You been to the Evason Koh Samui? Maldives v x leh!

Hi oraia,
If you willing to pay, go to koh samui lah. So nice!!!!

 

[celtricia]

Hi zenn..

they also got show the per nite ones.. juz click on their accomodations n rates it will show out d pricing...

Wah! to me Evason's rates for all is ex.. kekeke... tough it looks beautiful n tempting to enjoy n pamper myself a bit.. hee...

 

[celtricia]

hiya oraia...

hwz ur church prep?

 

[oraia]

hi zenn,

agree that maldives is super ex! *faints*
gave up all thoughts of gg there when i found out the price. but it IS a truly heavenly paradise.

hi celtricia!

church preps ah... errm... finished the pre-marriage enquiry. that's about it actually... oops!
how's urs??

 

[zenn]

Hi celtricia,
Oh I found it! Pool villa till dec 04 is $14k+ more x than hua hin...

Hi oraia,
Same here thats why I changed to Evason instead hehe

 

[celtricia]

hi oraia..

gd for u... ur wedding in dec right? den church bklets n all done up liao ah?

hi zenn..

very ex hor.. heh.. haiz... dun tink can afford.. kekeke.. go one trip got to spend so much..heehee..

 

[oraia]

hi zenn,

hehe, same..

that's why i was trying to decide which resort to stay in in phuket, until i saw koh samui's evason...

girls, do u know which is a better pl to visit - koh samui or phuket?

hi celtricia,

yup.. dec. errrm... hahaha. not yet!!!!!!!! waiting to decide mass hymns etc. then can start...

 

[nyny]

hello
koh samui is more pricey leh. but i think it's nicer and less commercialised.

 

[zenn]

Hi celtricia,
Ya heartache hor hehe

Hi oraia,
Put evason aside, personally also prefer koh samai than phuket. If you do not want to spend too much, you can consider Chaweng Regent in Koh Samai. Very nice too but of course cannot compare with Evason. 4D3N in Chaweng Regent is abt $700+ per pax...

Looks like we are abit out of the topic...

 

[racherlle]

hi oraia

i would definitely recommend Koh Samui.. coz it's not as commercialised and for HM.. tink shld find some serene place! hehe... to rest & relax!

gals i've not been to Evason Koh Samui yet.. but am looking forward to it!!
they have a soft launch earlier in the year but i missed it!!

sobsob..

best part abt Thailand is that they have many lovely resorts in the many islands surrounding the main island!

ya agree it's very pricey!
hmmm but tink for HM.. shld be worth the money.. hehe juz pamper urself once a while!

 

[racherlle]

maldives was initially my HM destination..
so i spent quite some time researching on them.. hehe...

oh ya btw there's another beautiful muz go island.. Bora Bora Island!! swoooning juz looking at the pics!!!

hehehe

 

[zenn]

racherlle, u booked ur koh samui trip? if so how much?

where is bora bora island?

 

[zenn]

btw evason koh samui having promo - stay 3 nites, 4th nite free...

 

[celtricia]

eloz.. morning gals!

my colleague went to both maldives n mauritius.. n said dat mauritius is a much better place to visit for HM... hee...

oraia...

u not stress meh.. u seems to take it so easy.. so envious.. i feel so stress leh.. coz yet to choose church hymns, readings, the flowers.. haiz.. headache leh.. kekeke... i tink to go for HM Koh Samui should b better place to go too.. agreed wif the rest opinions.. its much less commercialised...

hi zenn..
tink if wan to go spend at evason, got to save more sia.. kekeke..

hi racherlle...

seems like u've got lots of places u wanna go leh.. got so many days leave ah.. so gd.. kekeke..

 

[zenn]

gd morning!

celtricia, why mauritius better than maldives? maldives water clearer rite?

so when is u gals' wedding?

 

[celtricia]

eloz zenn...

not sure leh.. dat's wat my colleague said.. she said its much nicer at mauritius n d food n things there much cheaper...

my wedding is on 1st Jan 05... hw bout urs?

 

[zenn]

Hi celtricia,

my wedding just over...

 

[celtricia]

oic.. i not v sure la.. coz she juz went during july period..

ur wedding juz over? when was it? din go HM ah? hwz everything?

 

[butterkiss]

Went to NATAS Fair...
Most agents do not have flight for that weekend trip which I was planning...
Decided to postpone the trip...
Coz Phuket Marriot having a promotion... Just need to pay US$99 for a 4D3N stay... Somemore, it's applicable for a family of 2 adults and 2 kids... That means it's around S$200 for 2 pax throughout the stay... Just need to get our own air tickets...

 

[celtricia]

wow! dat's a great deal.. any idea when will the promo end?

is there lots of ppl there butter? so when are u postponing ur trip to?

 

[oraia]

hi girls!

zenn!!! really??? where did you get the info about the promo at koh samui?
local agency??? i'm attempting to make a tentative reservation via their local sales agent.

hi celtricia,

[celtricia]

hi oraia...

[oraia]
