Haha, no pressure for night number one ;o) I definitely think we can show it horns!
Much as I’d love to be staying on a bit in Asia, I’m going to be heading straight back to SA. My family all live down in Durban and will be inn Plett for Christmas so I’ll be joining them there a little belatedly…

Ha Ha wow now the pressure is mounting, but you girls will see that we will start off with a big night guaranteed.
Oh very nice plett is always good fun at the end of the year.
How much spending money are you girls looking at taking?- 0 people like this

Oh indeed it is… I think our little team of 8 here will be showing the rest of the tour what it’s all about though ;o)
Plett is good – it’s very much my annual haunt which is why I’m at least spending some time doing something different and getting away from the Joburgers for a while!
Hmm, that is not something that I had yet thought about at all… Was kind of thinking I might just take it as it comes. Are you going to get some currency before going across? Not sure if THB will be available in SA – I went to Kenya earlier in the year and could only get USD ahead of the time as most banks don’t stock the riskier currencies…

Explorer1297999 – wheres the rest of your crew? thought they would be part of this discussion by now :p
Darren87 — where you from? and welcome!!!! :D
I think I’ll bring close to a grand aus dollar, and exchange it all in thailand. Better exchange rate converting in thailand I found last time. I’m there for 2 weeks so better to have too much than too little. What are you thinking? If you have a strong dollar compared to the rest of the world, you will get a better rate in thailand. your aim is for 30tbh or over someone mentioned to me.
I’m excited. I want it to be December already!!!!
