If it's just me going away, I'll jump on a plane with my gear and get off to get the train to eventual location - all in, figure <£1000 / week.
If it were me going with the ex-Mrs M, spent >£5000 for a week in the Maldives.

Holy F tulip.... I'd want 3 holidays for that!
I like to bargain hunt... I like to know I'm getting a little luxury at the best price
Plus more left over for shopping, especially in Thailand!!
