to be honest Primrose I believe the asia disaster will help Mytravel as they are generally costa del europe based. This is an area I see becoming more and more popular again Thailand yep its cheap to buy a dinner £1(along side a mortorway or sewage route) but hotels are not increadably cheap nor is the flight or drink particuly unless you go with a non tour operator and stay in a BB etc as for got a bungalow on the beach for £1 a year I think most in Thailand not sure about Asia have relised they can cash in big time on tourists thus you are just as well to go to Mallorca etc.
