We have stayed at Ko Lanta before and loved it but wanted to stay where we don't have to travel too far to the dives sites. At the moment i can only really think of Phi Phi, any suggestions? The purpose of the trip is the girls want to shop for a week then we are diving/beaching it for a week. So we are heading to Bangkok for a week then to an island off Phuket. I was alternately thinking of going to KL for shopping and then heading to the Perhentian islands for a week. Does anyone think this would be a better option?

Shopping is better in Bangkok than KL. Have fun...once you start diving...it's a great drug! Did few amazing trips this years... Have fun!

Phi Phi would be my first choice - also consider Ko Lepi - further south - PP from Phuket is a few hours on a ferry so easiest. If you enjoy the diving courses - it's the right season for heading out to the Similans on a live-aboard...

Ali, how are Perhentian Islands treating you :-)? Hope you are having fun too! and looking forward to more diving pictures, Laetitia Trenty Trent Muldoon Post Count: 15 Msg: #5 88 days ago, September 8th 2008 | Thanks for all the advice.
