we'd be heading to either Bali for 6+ nights or adding it to Siem Reap and or going via Hong Kong.
I reallypreferred the connections out of BKK for any of those destinations and our fave spa is there (but unfortunately in the embassy district). Guess I'll see what happens. I don't expect any issues in Phuket.
Re Luxlink--I have an additional discount to use on each package, so it behooves me to price there first. Bundarika was well-priced upscale w/perks--i also found some great $ in the ASU Guide.
I just want something more secluded than the resort norm. call me silly.
That private pool /beachfront thing is a real bonus.
