Travel Forum / Destinations / Asia / December 2003

I'll be visiting Hong Kong for a couple of weeks and was wondering if
anyone could recommend places worth checking out that a University
Student would appreciate (aged 20-25). This could include bars, clubs,
particular hostels, districts... Any and all suggestions greatly

I plan to go to Asia- where should I go ? What's not to miss?

I'm looking for cheap air tickets to India. Does anyone have a
favorite travel agent in Bangkok. I'd like to go to Madras.
thanks for any help

I'm looking to purchase a digital camera. I live in the US but will be in Hong
Kong at the end of January. Does it make any sense, financial or otherwise, to
wait until I get to HK to buy the camera? Does anyone have advice on the
matter?

Lo All
Was just wondering if ATMs are now abundant in these 2 countries, or
whether Travellers Cheques are still your best bet ? Maybe even USD
might be the best option in Cambodia ?

Can anybody recommend nice accommodation in Malacca, KL, Cameron Highlands,
Penang?
Simple but clean will do the trick.
Thanks, Ernst.

Thank you for replies to my previous questions about Vietnam.
So I am going to arrive Ho Chi Minh City at 8pm on next Saturday, Dec20.
Is is quite late I think. Probably I'll leave the airport at least an hour
later.

Does anybody have any knowledge or personal experience about Mongolian
hotels Hotel Nuht or Bishrelt Plaza Hotel?
Grateful for  information

We're considering travelling along the Thai coast towards Cambodia, can we
get Cambodian Visas at the border?
If this route is possible does anyone have any recent experiences/ advice
they would care to share.

What's the fastest I can get a visa for VietNam for a USA citizen?  If I
can work everything out, I like to leave on 19 December, a scant week
and a half away.
Anyone know of cheap last minute tickets from the west coast (US) to Ho

I will be going to Thailand, travelling round for 3 months & instead of
taking a digital camera i have heard they are much cheaper over there,
anyone have any experience of this, what sort of prices are they? (i'm from
the UK btw)

 Could someone give me some information on the
quality of 3-star hotels in India?  Looking at
Delhi, Jaipur, Jodphur, Agra, ... (Rajasthan
in general).

Good or bad?
Guided tour or individual travel?
Cheers
Don

Is anyone aware if there are any fees other than bank transaction fees
to withdraw money from ATMs abroad. I'm in the US and planning on making
a few withdrawals in India.
I checked the ATM locators and found that there are a lot of Cirrus ATMs

Does anyone know how to travel from Penang to Krabi other than by
flight via Bangkok or bus? I was hoping to find info on boat options or
private planes.
