    Indeed that was exactly my thought - how can there NOT be just another person who fancies a getaway to somewhere exotic and stay in the Pen, all for less than what you pay for a night of hotel in London?!

    Alas, 4 of the 6 friends that I asked have got visitors in town that very weekend - and that's before you told me the same MovingIn07!

    Just for info, me and Jimbo are paying about $3,700 after tax, and they were asking for $6,300 if you're travelling alone....

    Let's keep searching for that fourth person then shall we?

    You are right! This single traveller surcharge is really outrageous!!!! Nearly double the price of the trip. Okay I must really find someone to share!

    I am definitely interested. When exactly would we leave and return? Need to confirm with work, but should be a go!

    I am new to HK. I moved here five weeks ago. Looking for friends to travel with.

    Hiya, the travel schedule is:

    Depart from HK at 4pm on the Friday (7 Nov) - so we only need to take half a day off!! Arriving at 5.50pm.

    Coming back on Sunday at 7pm (the latest flight available with the package). Back in HK at 10.45pm.

    May I also suggest you have a word with elodie (she's on this thread)? Last I heard she's still looking for someone to share a room with, just so that she wouldn't have to pay the "single traveller penalty"!

    Srpbflo, you don't need a visa for Thailand.

    Elodie and Srpbflo, have PM'ed you both.

    Weirdos? Well done mate, you've charmed and befriended us all already.

    Don't think you're actually interested in joining, but to answer your question quickly: boys and girls, young but not too young. As for what our plans are, you'll find out if you're actually coming along.
