Mate - that's outstanding. 

I've only been there for Songkran once and it's one of the best laughs I've ever had. You'll love it. Are the kids going to? Where will you be?

Yes the kids are coming as well. Phuket, a couple of days in Phi Phi in a treehouse then back to Phuket for Songkran. I caught the back end of it once before in Pattaya and it was mental! Can’t wait now.

Doesn't matter where you're staying mate - Sat on that beach front just watching the sights that go past is pure, unadulterated fun. As long as you take it for what it is, you'll have a great time

Been on a couple of stag-do's there the last couple of years and they were 2 of the best I've been on.

Have any of you filthy animals ever visited Tbilisi, Georgia? What’s it like? Any good? Do’s and Don’ts etc?

I’ve just been informed that I am going to a wedding there. 👍

I wouldn't expect many if any off here has been. It's a bit dodgy but I assume you have family there so should be fine.

So, I've just back from Tbilisi after attending my lad's wedding this week. What a fantastic city! It's a very well-kept secret. Good food and wine - not expensive. Lots of history and beautiful architecture. Highly recommended.

 

right, good people

i may well just do the usual, but i'm open to suggestions

 

airbnb/rental, walking distance to a beach the dog can go on

needs a bit of outside, fully fenced

and dog friendly pubs

preferably within a couple of hours

i'd do a caravan/lodge thing, but not on a site, cos hes too barky

 

any recommendations
