What is the best holiday destination for snorkelling?

Q. Me and my partner went to the Maldives last year and were totally spoiled by the amazing snorkelling so now I don't want to go on a holiday without it featuring in our plans! I am interested in Thailand and Mexico.. has anybody been to both and can comment on the quality of snorkelling?

A. I've snorkeled a lot throughout the Caribbean- I love snorkeling at the properties at http://www.sandals.com/difference/included.cfm?referral=134793 since snorkeling excursions are included in the room price. It saves me money and it's also some of the nicest snorkeling spots in the Caribbean. Scuba diving is also included as well, if you guys want to do that. All are National Geographic approved and sponsored dive sites.


where can i borrow £100,000 to purchase a resort in thailand?
Q. Property i have found has been reduced from £200,000 to £100,000 due to fear of last tsunami. The resort has 16 bungalows, 2 houses restaurant and swimming pool.

A. First of all, is your own local bank where yuo have an account. That should be your first valid option. Second, should be a local commercial bank in Thailand. Whichever, you have to have a number of things, ready with you.

1. Business plan, that is how are you going to run the business and what kind of expertese you personally have, or who are you going to hire to run the business for you.

2. You must have good record with your bank or any financial institution who sholud recommend you for a loan.

3. You must have collaterals, that is security for the repayment of the loan.

4. You must have license or permission to run such business.

5. If you are not a Thai citizen, you must secure work permit in Thailand or investers' license for opening a hotel business.

Once you have all these at hand, then go to your bank manager and have a word wih him/her for the loan.

Good luck.

All the best!/


What are the nutritional benefits of eating hot, spicy food?
Q. Please be specific about the ingredients and how they affect our bodies. Are they best cooked or raw for absorption in our bodies?

Some food types might be those served in India or Thailand that I am referencing.

A. They increase metabolism, have anti carcinogenic, anti microbial properties. Black pepper is a powerful decongestant, much better than chicken soup!

Spices add flavor to otherwise bland food, and so 'make up' for low sodium and/or low fat diets.


Can I store luggage at the airport in Bangkok for a week?
Q. I'm just finishing a teaching contract in Korea, and I'm planning on doing a bit of traveling in Thailand before I fly back home to the states. Unfortunately I'll have a big suitcase with me that has all my stuff from living here.

I'd like to just pay for storage for my suitcase and travel around with a backpack instead. I've been to train stations that provide that type of service. Can I do it at this airport too?
