The Blogger’s Note:
I have recently brought my wife Soh Ai and two younger sons Wai Yu and Wai Kei on a 4D3N tour to Bangkok, Thailand from September 29 to October 2, 2011. This was my very first Free-and-Easy tour without engaging with any tour agencies at all. I planned the itinerary all by myself with slight modifications on the ground and it worked out better than expected.
