Fay, my sister's suggested us sending my mother to Thailand for an upcoming birthday, and that one of us should accompany her. Sister's already been, which is why she's so keen on the maternal unit seeing it. She really had a great time.
BUFFISTA F2F IN THAILAND, BAYBEEE!!!!!
Hell yes! Based on my (admittedly v. limited) experiences so far, I think everyone should come to Thailand, for it is very good and much shinier than anticipated. I'd love the chance to show you and your mum around Bangkok! (Or your mum and your sister, of course, should it pan out thusly, but it would be lovely to see you.) Or, you know, not - if they've got their own stuff in mind then that's totally cool, but I'd be happy to have a stab at being Local Guide person.
Although the apartment I'm hoping to have acquired by this time tomorrow is a studio apartment, and thus I can't offer you folks rooms, all my sofa bed are belong to you, should you wish. (I appreciate that sofabeds aren't neccesarily mums' cup of tea and that you may prefer a sexy hotel, but if you do need to crash, then you'd be most welcome.)
