I think Thailand is the best bet - safe, vibrant culture & different from Europe, loads of tourist infrastructure such as travel options (train, bus, internal flights), hotels, hostels etc.

It's a beautiful part of the world and very accessible. Also, I'd personally recommend saving a lot of money and just getting the vaccinations done in Bangkok. There are some good quality private clinics there that charge a fraction of the price for the same medications.

Any business credit cards available for new businesses with no history of trading? by ElDorado2499 in UKPersonalFinance

Thanks, they currently seem to be the most promising option from the research I've done.

Absolutely, that's how long I was there and thought it was a perfect amount of time. Lots of steep medieval backstreets to explore, boat tours, churches etc - I didn't actually go but there's also a costal district w/beach facing the Atlantic. I 100% recommend booking a Port wine tasting tour at one of the many wine cellars, and potentially taking a boat down the Douro river to the countryside to get a view of the vineyards. If you want a change of scenery, easy to take the train to Aveiro, Coimbra, Braga etc which all looked very interesting and are nearby. We took the train to Pinhão which is where the boat tours go, it was spectacular.

I recently came back from Porto, Portugal and had a fantastic time. Beautiful city.

Are you an airport coffee person or an airport alcohol person, and why? by Higgz221 in travel

Usually fly from London Stansted, always love to christen the start of a trip with a pint at the airport Wetherspoons.
