Such, it would appear, has become the proliferation of Thai restaurants into the Australian suburbs, one could argue the humble curry puff, chicken satay or the fish cake could now surpass spaghetti bolognaise as Australia’s national dish.

However, if you truly crave the real taste of Thailand, that doesn’t come delivered in plastic containers on a Friday night, then the only real way is via the miracle of human flight courtesy of the Boeing Corporation.

And if a stunning Thai vacation is on your immediate “to do” list, look no further than today’s Cudo offering that reeks of uber relaxation at a price, you’ll agree, requires not one, but four looks.

Today, you and a lucky partner are landing five nights for two at the Cha-Da Hotel And Resort at Krabi for the mesmerising price of just $299! Put in a mathematical context, that’s a whopping great 71% off the typical tariff price of $1045!

And if the mere thought has your brain in a happier, tropical, cocktail-in-hand place, then contemplate the full details of this essential Krabi holiday offer…
