Yeah I think it's quite good too, Many would recommend July too since you do not need over bulky clothes. During April it's still equivalent to other's country's winter temperature.

Looking for a companion as travel buddy (and to share out some cost, hehe) to Maldives, 17/6/11 - 24/6/11.

I bought MAS airticket with a friend last year, but now my friend called it off for new job offer.

My friend has since offered to still bear 1/3 of the accomodation cost, remaining 2/3 will be borne by me and the joining one (if any), else I gotta pay 2/3 if I'm goin alone.

Checked MAS fare, some details you might wish to know:

1. Airfare - return KL - Maldives should cost around RM1206 (MAS) on 17/6/11 - 24/6/11

2. Accomodation - there's not much backpacker kinda stuff in Maldives. The standard room rate costs at least US250++, with someone bearing 1/3 and some offsettin with my credit card, you may budget max of RM1900 for accomodation

3. Daily spending will be on your own

4. Since there'll be 7D7N, I intend to stay on some budgeted hotel on the first night since I'm arriving bout 10pm. Next 3 nights will be on standard hotel (perhaps slightly cheaper) and final 3 nights on a relatively good resort.

Look forward to hear from you!
