i have booked a short getaway to angsana next week . and will be bring my boy there.

anything to take note ? i have not brought him overseas before this is the 1st .
any mosquito / sandfly issue there ?? water wise ok? do i need to buy mineral water to make his cereal or milk ??

- insect repellent to guard against mosquitoes
- medicines for contingency for your boy

the boat ride can be quite rocky near the shipping corridor, so don't feed your boy just before departure, or he might get seasick and throw up.

water is ok. do boil the water, no need mineral.

I stayed in Harris some time back and its good place(atleast I and my family enjoyed)... they have free shuttle to the Nagoya shopping mall... the shopping Mall is far from Harris and Holiday Inn... the free shuttle is too and fro. They have 2-3 timings to choose also.

:hi5: i stayed @ Harris too... only 2 timings for us to choose for the shuttle bus... but bad service lah, the pm shuttle did not turn up.. :rant:

so we went back to the hotel ourselves...

If I am not wrong, it is adjusted since May10.

S$22 per pax for 2-ways, it is for both taxes & levy.
