5) Thailand. It’s becoming so common for people to backpack through Thailand these days that the experience is hardly authentic anymore but it is still such a great experience. Magic Mushrooms or a much less risky Singha available on all ferry crossings or luxury buses. The hotspots to visit in Thailand are Ko Phan Gan (best out of the three) and home to the full moon party. Koh Lanta a good vibe here and a big island which has various different vibes depending on what your looking for. Some great diving round here pinnacle and hin dang two top spots. Hop across to Koh Phi Phi and experience the island post tsunami. Its quite sobering to imagine what happened as the tsunami hit the side and wrapped around the edges meeting in the middle to 4m destruction. Get a massage and start the evening by enjoying a cocktail at Dees bookshop while you scan a very English selection of novels. Of course stop off in Bangkok and revel in 5 star luxury at least for a couple of nights. Tired of the beach ? Head inland and go trekking on an elephant. Thailand really has got it all and if you have the time then carry on into Cambodia.

All Inclusive Holidays and Resorts for you.
There are many different ways to take a vacation but most popular perhaps is the all inclusive holiday. If you have been on one before you might know what to expect. The word "all" needs to be taken slightly tongue in cheek and it usually means that within reason everything you could possibly want would be included already in the price you have paid. This is referring to hotel or resort food and drink usually excluding cocktails for example though recently in Sharm El Sheikh the resort that I stayed in was all inclusive and you got alcohol for free without real restriction. The palate after a while was the controlling factor for me and I saw no examples of binge drinking either. The cocktails were not so hot as to be expected in this destination. But in the Caribbean you would be lucky if cocktails were included or your cost of all inclusive holiday is really high initially. You need to take these things into consideration.

We thought it would be nice to showcase the best Luxury Hotels we have on landed for you to peruse at your leisure. You may like me not have had the privilege or luck to stay in Many. I have and I can honestly say that unless you are arriving very late and wont really benefit then if you can afford Luxury then it is worth the money.
Why Stay in a Luxury Hotel ?
Its a good question as you might also argue why fly first class or business class. It is all about your feeling and making the most of your trip. You probably work very hard and don't get much time off. Think about the frustrations that come with sub standard service or more common just rooms and views of carparks or construction sites ! Things I never would have thought about have been catered for in 5 star rooms. The pools are very handy for coping with jetlag and its important to get light exercise following a long haul flight. You might feel so pampered for that the location you are in ceases to be as interesting to your room. Be able to balance that and don't wallow around in your perfect sheets watching too many films however.

These are some very cool holes from around the globe. Read down below for more details.
1) Kimberley Apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world,this 1097 meter deep mine yielded over 3 tons of diamonds before being closed in 1914.
2) Glory Hole - Monticello Dam, California A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir This is the 'Glory Hole' at Monticello dam, and it's the largest in the world of this type of spillway, its size enabling it to consume 4,400 cubic feet of water every second.
3) Bingham Canyon Mine, Utah This is supposedly the largest man-made excavation on earth. Extraction began in 1863 and still continues today, the pit increasing in size constantly. In its current state the hole is miles deep and 2.5 miles wide.
4) Great Blue Hole, Belize This incredible geographical phenomenon known as a blue hole is situated 60 miles off the mainland of Belize. There are numerous blue holes around the world,but none as stunning as this one.
5) Mirny Diamond Mine , Serbia I'm pretty sure most people have seen this one. It's an absolute beast and holds the title of largest open diamond mines in the world. At 525 meters deep, with a top diameter of 1200 meters, there's even a no-fly zone above the hole due to a few helicopters having been sucked in.
6) Diavik Mine , Canada The mine is so huge and the area so remote that it has it's own airport with a runway large enough to accommodate a Boeing 737.It looks equally cool when the surrounding water is frozen.
7) Sinkhole in Guatemala These photos are of a sinkhole that occurred early this year in Guatemala The hole swallowed a dozen homes and killed at least 3 people.

I think I'm pretty qualified to have my say on what I think the top bars in the world are. They may be seasonal or general year round haunts, they may be very small or very something else. But Im roughing this out as follows
