How much did you pay for a holiday to Thailand or similar?

Queensland Club Med is no longer. Only a very recent thing though.

DF and I spent 5 days in Singapore and 11 in Bali. Cost us about $10,000 all up but that included quite a bit of spending money and 'sightseeing' stuff, as well as tickets to the Singapore GP so could definitely be done cheaper.

If you head to Bali I'd recommend somewhere other than Kuta. I only spent 6 hours there before our flight home but hated every second of it. We stayed in Ubud up in the mountains, but there's plenty of other beachy places in Bali that are gorgeous.

Wherever you go a couple of things to take into consideration.

1. travel insurance & what they cover since you're pregnant
2. airline restrictions on pregnant women flying
3. is your DH prepared to have Miss I sitting on his lap the whole time since you'll have belly

I had a look and found 6 nights in Fiji with all meals and flights for $3419 that was leaving on the 1st of September.

Tempting.... Oh wait, this isn't my thread

If choosing between Thailand etc and a South Pacific island, I'd choose the South Pacific. So warm and friendly and relaxed. Maybe not as many historical things to see, but if you just want to chill out, then it's perfect. Lie on a beach, go snorkelling, eat, drink, lie in a hammock with a drink., lie in the pool with a drink..... If you want history, temples etc, then South East Asia has more of that but they also have more people, traffic and ways to get ripped off.

Fiji and Vanuatu etc also have no death penalty, which I always think is a bonus (but then I'm a paranoid traveller).
