Hi,

I've the first two weeks off in September and am having trouble deciding on a destination. My initial plan was China (Beijing/Shanghai) but then I got thinking about Thailand. The only issue with Thailand is that it'll be the rainy season so I thought I'd split the time between Thailand/China. I am curious to know what peoples thoughts are on this and whether they think I would be better off just concentrating on one country.

Last year I split my two weeks between Japan/Hong Kong and I really loved the contrast between the two countries. It also felt like I'd had two holidays in one.

The current plan is:

29th August -> 7th September in Thailand (Bangkok)
7th September -> 14th September in China (Beijing)

Taking a flight on the 7th from Bangkok to Beijing.

From what I've read 4-5 days is enough to see Beijing, which give me the odd day to do an excursion to neighbouring Cities.

As for Bangkok - depending on the individual again 4-5 days seems to be enough, which gives me a couple of days for an excursion or two.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
