hi, it is my 21st birthday in september and i am looking for a special holiday for me and my boyfriend to go on. We really fancy thailand in particular doing a twin centre trip to Bangkok and a beach resort but abit worried weather wise?? September seems like the worst time of year to go anywhere!! i'm open to all suggestions and would just like to know any recommendations for where is best to go at that time of year thats abit more special than your average hol, Budgets around �1000 max each without spends, oh and my boyfriends not yet 21 so cant do Vegas,thankyou

I am a regular visitor to Thailand but I was left feeling disappointed after my 12 day holiday there last September. Whilst we did enjoy three or four fantastic days of sunshine and blistering heat, the remaining days were ruined by heavy rain and constant showers, which meant that you really couldn't plan anything in advance for fear of it raining! July to September are the wettest months in Thailand and best avoided, especially if you're going there to spend a fortnight lying on a beach.

I guess it all depends what you want out of a holiday though. Being such a special occasion, why not up your budget ever so slightly and buy a round-the-world ticket, stopping off at a few cities of your choosing - including Bangkok! I am sure you can pick these up for �800 or �900 and if you can make do with 2-3* accommodation, the trip would certainly come in under budget.
