Hey John, hang loose buddy! You sound like me, 5 years back. Go to
the home of the Full Moon Party, Koh Phangan. This party island is
in the middle of the Gulf of Thailand and with plenty of beach
accommodation; you would fit in there easily.
If you are under 26, then make use of your age and get a Blue
Ticket from STA Travel. They have a great airfare deal that
flies you to the nearest airport to Koh Phangan, in
neighbouring Koh Samui. You can get from Singapore
to Samui in under 2 hours and then a boat to Phangan
in 2 hours, compared to 36 hours multi bus and
boat ride from Singapore to Koh Phangan. This
Blue Ticket is also valid from a month to 12
months. This means, if you like Koh Phangan or
Koh Samui and wish to stay for longer, just call
them to get your return flight changed.
STA Travel also has plenty of island accommodation and
transfers from Koh Samui to Koh Phangan. Beachside
Bungalows from $50 and transfers from $86. Check out the
accommodation listings by clicking "search now" at

G'day Sammy! Australia is HUGE and there’s so
much to see and do. In fact some travellers take
3 years to just travel all over Australia :) Good
on you for wanting to explore and with most
of your time being spent at uni, I would suggest
looking at getting a long distance bus pass
such as the Greyhound Pass. This pass allows
you the flexibility to travel as you please with
no fixed itinerary. Greyhound Australia offers
you total flexibility to over 1,100 destinations
across Australia. Their Kilometre Pass allows
you to hop-on/hop-off and make your own
itinerary as-you-go for up to 12 months.
Purchase a 'bank' of kilometres from 500kms
to 20,000kms and simply draw on the bank as
Our experts on all things travel will help
you answer some of your burning
questions about where to find amazing
trips at great value, and what to do when
you are on those adventures of a lifetime.
No place is too remote and no adventure
too daring for Dr Travel, so sit back,
relax and absorb these words of wisdom.

Hola Mark! Glad to hear you are heading to España for fiesta,
great choice mate. The most convenient, efficient and picturesque
way of getting around Spain and Europe is to travel by train. With
a Eurail Pass, you can travel on trains throughout Europe. Just
choose the countries you want to visit and the number of travel
days you need. Take as many trains as you wish on each day. How
cool is that? And by buying a Eurail pass, you save at least 30%
compared to purchasing rail tickets while in Europe! This pass is
ONLY available if you are not a citizen of a European country
and have purchased it BEFORE arriving into Europe.
Rail travel is huge in Europe as all the major train stations are
based right in the heart of the city/town. This means that if you
want to leave Madrid, all you need to do is head to the railway
station and jump on a train out into another major city. When you
arrive, you are smack in the city once again. Compare this to
getting OUT of the city 1/2 hours away to some god-forsaken
"ulu" town where the budget terminal is and then
waiting to check in and flying. Then, you
arrive in another city also in the
outskirts, where you have to lug all
your stuff again.
Besides that, rail travel is really
flexible; if you miss the train of
your choice, you have other
options available throughout the
day. If you miss your budget
flight, that's it; empty your
wallet as you'd have to buy a
brand new ticket.

you travel around Australia. Use this in your own
time, there is no rush and it’s simply too easy!
So while you are based in Australia, you can exchange
your kilometres whenever you want, for exciting
experiences like skydiving, snorkelling or deep sea
diving in Cairns, experience stunning Uluru, travel the
Great Ocean Road or trek across the Nullarbor. You
can choose between short bus trips like Byron Bay to
Brisbane to medium trips or even the Kilometre pass.
Prices start from just $88! Furthermore, holders of an
ISIC or YHA card get a concessionary rate.
