Countdown to a beach Luxury Escape to the Cape via Katong and Karon

[Flyfrequently]

Countdown now for another flop 'n drop trip for us to evade Victoria's chilly +/- wet miserable July weather.

Enticed by a DSC in February, I looked at Melbourne to Singapore via Sydney with no real plan of where our destination would be - as usual!

As PC+ & WP I was hoping to burn some points and have F seats released - yeah/nah.
Plan B, purchase revenue J and request upgrade to F

I don't have Expert Flyer, but with kind AFF folk who had looked at my dates, I booked and live in hope of a little bit of A380 Luxury.

Now 4 days our from our flight, the countdown is on, so hoping to get "The Text" over the weekend

Need to disclose, I do have inside Intel thanks to my Favourite Nephew (Pilot) loads are favourable for an upgrade.

So putting aside the "where to" I first had to work out our J CR June trip to CGK.
This took us to Bali to enjoy some beautiful weather.

Ok, back to planning.
I first check out Accor properties as I'm Explorer Platinum.
Weather - Mmm, mostly humid in SE Asia with tropical showers anywhere within coo-ee of Singapore, but then again beats bleak Melbourne 11°

With a delays occasionally happening with QF1, decided on 2 nights in Singapore - give me a pool and a Lounge and I'm happy.
Having stayed at Village Hotel Katong before knowing we like the area and easy to get around should we choose to, settled on Grand Mercure Roxy.

Next stop, and Thailand came on my radar.
I recalled my trips of 50+ years ago to Bangkok, Pattaya and a motor cycle accident that had me gun-shy about returning, until we spent Mr Flyfrequently's birthday in Koh Samui 2 years ago, which we both enjoyed.

My ever helpful (lounge pass begging) sister, Party Aunty, suggested coughet.
A few days in Karon and then across to Cape Panwa, and I am back on to the Accor App sussing out hotels.
