I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

We're looking to do A Far East Adventure with Travelscope in either May or November next year.
http://www.travelscope.co.uk/Far_East_Adventure.html
It's
3 nights in Bangkok
3 nights in Hong Kong
3 nights in Singapore
3 nights in Cha-am

for £999.

We've read several conflicting reports on what to expect weather wise and aren't sure when to go. I know we can expect high humidity whenever we go, but would prefer to know which month would be the lesser of two evils.

Also do you think this is a good deal...we want to have a look at each of the destinations with a view to being able to go back sometime in the future for an extended holiday to one of the destinations.

Any views will be greatfully received.

Thanks

UL

difficult one. As the Cha-Am part of your holiday is obviously the R&R part I would base your decision on which month is the best weather for there. Neither is ideal but November would be better. The later you can go in November the better.( December is actually a good month)
Re the price- that looks great! Which hotels are you looking at? ( I take it, its the Regent in Cha- am??)
Perhaps another member has been to these destinations in the months you are looking at( and may have a different view). I'm afraid I have only been in April, July and August.

The latest we could go would be November 22nd leaving the UK.
The hotels are
Century Park Hotel for Bangkok
Charterhouse Hotel for Hong Kong
City Bayview Hotel for Singapore
and yes
The Regent at Cha-am

The holiday sounds like great value and I have been to all 3 of the cities mentioned and they are all fantastic, Bangkok and Singapore will be hot at this time of year, Hong Kong will be a little cooler but still t shirt weather and Cha Am as Fiona said should be great , probably about 80 - 85 degrees, for that price I would grab it.

We've got another couple of possible departure dates during June and September...would those be better than the November choice.
Would like a bit of heat, but not the really high humidity.

Thanks in advance
