hey guys, i checked out the airticket for budget and non-budget.

jetstar: S$240 (including airport tax)
cathay: estimate S$520 (including airport tax)


as for the hotels. these are some rather good recommendations online(in order of rank).

1. The Royal Pacific Hotel and Towers - 4* (THE BEST? LOL!)

personally i think this is the best. it is in the middle of Tsim Sha Tsui and it's rather need kowloon and the other places we visiting(ocean park, victoria park, causewaybay, ect: other parts of hong kong beside kowloon). the only downside that it's not so near the mrt, but generally it's more convenient if we are not just going to kowloon. in addition, the hotel is quite nice and has a mall below it ;). if we are planning to go to macau, it's also nearer to macau. oh ya, did i mention it's kinda near HMV. LOL!

the guys room(2 in 1 room): S$ 652.20
the girls room(3 in 1 room): $1018.55

so it's about $34o/person.


2. B P International - 3* (MOST ACCESSIBLE & CHEAPEST)

if we want a hotel which is very accessible, i guess this is the one. it's smack in the middle of kowloon and it's very near the MRT station and shopping malls. besides the good location, the rest are just average.

the guys room(2 in 1 room): S$ 621.48
the girls room(3 in 1 room): $782.50

so it's about $280/person.


3.The Nathan Hotel - 4* (MOST EXPENSIVE!)

this is something like the first hotel, just that it's nearer to the mrt. it also have a rather nice interior. however, there are no breakfast provided. haha so yea, if we wanna stay here, probably we have to settle breakfast in the streets.

the guys room(2 in 1 room): S$ 763.84
the girls room(3 in 1 room): $1020.52

so it's about $360/person.


4. Metropark Hotel Mongkok - 3*

this is a cheaper form of the 4th hotel, relatively near to the malls and MRT


the guys room(2 in 1 room): S$ 654.12
the girls room(3 in 1 room): $893.72

so it's about $320/person.


5. Regal Oriental Hotel - 4*

this hotel is in the middle of kowloon, so shopping and travel would be easy.

the guys room(2 in 1 room): S$ 691.08
the girls room(3 in 1 room): $ 947.78
so it's about $330/person.



so if we stay the most expensive hotel $360 and air ticket for $ 240, it would be $600. after we add in those extra here and there, i guess it would not exceed S$700 :).



hmm if we take the morning flight, we would reach hk near 11am. but we can only check in at 2pm. so probably we settle breakfast in the airport and walk around then travel to the hotel and check in. after check in would be late noon, by then we can start shopping? lol! (guess what? there is free shuttle bus service to our hotels if we take Royal Pacific Hotel, B P international or Regal Hotel). alternatively, we can take 2 cabs ;).



as for the check out, we must settle it by 12pm. so i suggest, we leave our stuff at the hotel lobby or something then we go walk till near late noon. after that we can proceed to the airport and take the 2015 flight.
