Can not remember seeing the email in previous years but would love to go! Might have to make a note to put it down for next year as can not make it this year. Will need to investigate best way to get to Bangkok in J from Brisbane. MH used to be good value redemptions but they no longer fly from Brisbane. Last time I investigated Thai they did not seem to have good value redemptions.
When I read the email yesterday I recall seeing that only 40 spots available - not sure if that means 40 from Australia or only 40 for the whole event.
Just looking at those dates accommodation alone is 683.44NZD, the rest seems reasonable. I think I can go, I'm just not sure about my partner as we have travel in Oct booked and requesting leave etc etc.....
Yeah it seems limited spots, but damn I love Thai food! I don't care what these chefs cook, I'm sure I'm going to love it. Tempting to book and ask questions later ....
