ok our class trip is in the works but nothing can be done unless u guys confirm the dates you are free... READ THIS, please confirm if you are free on the week of 17 MAY to 24 MAY... based on my research (and caifong's), this seems to be a good time... firstly, school holiday commences on the 26th May and we really dont want to kena the peak season... cost of everything goes up...
we have suggested bangkok or thailand... Taiwan's definitely more fun (plus i miss taiwan food), but bangkok's much cheaper and we get to live like a king, for those who want to "la sup" can go ahead, i know the way... The last time i checked (which was today), the flight to Taipei alone is $471 with Jetstar... to Bangkok, its $204... or we could do the genting thing again but i really rather not... anyway, here is my personal research, complete with summary of air tickets, hotel fares and expected expenditure on touring! All prices for air tickets are INCLUSIVE of all taxes...
Macau / Hong Kong
S$234 for Return Air Ticket to Macau (Tiger Airways)
Asia's version of Las Vegas... We can alternate between Macau and Hong Kong and eventually fly back from Macau... Hong Kong is S$380 away from Macau by helicopter (gasp!)... but we can get there by ferry within S$30 one way or go to shenzhen (yes that is in china) for about the same price. And if we go to Hong Kong, we can go DISNEYLAND and Ocean Park! Entrace is S$60 and S$35 respectively... Hotels in Macau and HK average S$100 a night... Read more about Macau here!

Darwin $466 for Return Air Ticket (Tiger Airways)Perth $519 for Return Air Ticket (Tiger Airways)
Australia is nice and all, but after busting half a grand on the air ticket, i have to pay big bucks for everything on the island... if we wanted this type of budget, we would enjoy ourselves more in taiwan... please correct me if i am wrong... but then again, ITS ALMOST WINTER! we may want to go there and play with real snow...
Bangkok
$182 for Return Air Ticket (Tiger Airways)
Accomodation is about 800B a night for up to 4 persons, for that works out to be $8.70 a night... its practically retarded... the Chaktuchat Weekend market is a highlight, since there are 20000 stalls to spend your money on... plus everything is so cheap we can live like a king and have really good food...
Phuket
$156 for Return Air Ticket (Tiger Airways)
while researching holiday ideas, i bumped upon an idea! we can charter a yacht in Phuket! I've checked the rates and I saw a nice CATAMARAN that goes for $700 a night... not too bad if we share, plus we have complete control over the boat for 24 hours which can be potentially fun... ok just an idea... i know places where we can book a bungalow by the sea and stay by the beach resort for maybe two nights or so... one bungalow 100 metres from Patong Beach costs 1800B or $78 a night... retarded... even cheaper than Downtown East Chalet... the biggest bungalow is about 2800B ($120) a night... If you guys want to see real tigers, can go to Kanchanaburi and stay at the farmside resort for 1 night and go take pictures with tigers like what I did... Bungalows are 450B a night twin sharing and transport and entry to Tiger Temple, transport to and fro totals about $28...
Taiwan $471 for Return Air Ticket (Jetstar)
Taiwan is just fun la, been there more than 10 times and still like that place... not sure if I'm willing to pay that kind of price for an air ticket though... how about u guyS?
