One place left on a six day competent crew sailing course leaving Phuket on Dec 12 and arriving in Langkawi (Malaysia)

€700

Or, on the 30th of January you could do the same thing if we spend Jan in Thailand with friends/family. I could fly to our next destination from Thailand and you could fly from Malaysia.

Thailand

If Aud and Torlief wanted to come along (or anyone else for that matter!) we could stay at a SunWing resort in Thailand for about $65 a night (long term stay discount may be available):

They can fly charter from Oslo direct to Phuket, 25.000kr for 15 days for two people.

Be carefully booking, though, I found another SunWing Resort that also cost 25,000 for the charter booking but instead of an independent rate of $65 per night, it was $200! So it pays to spend time really comparing the choices!
