We are five families wanting to go to somewhere in Asia in June or July next year to celebrate a number of 40th birthdays. We’re interested in Bali, Vietnam or Thailand. We’d prefer a resort with things for the kids to do?

Doc: Have a look at the Bali Padma Hotel (padmaresortbali.com). This hotel is in a great spot in Legian and has everything you need. It’s on the beach, has two huge pools, a fitness centre, many other activities including cooking classes, yoga, a spa and a beauty salon but best of all it has a kids club and kids games centre. Children from four - 12 are able to use the club, and there is different areas for the different age groups.

A great plus is that the girls from the centre are also available for babysitting, so if you want an adults night out, the kids will be comfortable staying with someone they already know.

In Vietnam head to the township of Hoi An in the north. You can fly to Da Nang airport about 30 minutes from Hoi An and then head to the Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort and Spa (victoriahotels.asia), or the Palm Garden Resort (palmgardenresort.com.vn). Both are in a nice location right on the beach and have many leisure activities to keep everyone occupied.

The town of Hoi An is an easy bike ride away and you will find the Ancient town fascinating to wander around. The village is full of tailors who can custom make shoes and clothing, cooking schools and there’s great dining in the centre of town.

For Thailand, have a look at The Novotel hotel in Phuket (novotelphuket.com), sitting on the hill overlooking Patong Beach. It features great views and has the perfect location, merely steps from the shops and restaurants. There is a three tiered pool, kids games room and babysitting facilities. Each room has a private balcony and rates include breakfast.

Also look at Club Med Phuket (clubmed.com.au). There’s more than 35ha of gardens opposite the beach for the kids to run around on, plus if any of yours are under four, they stay free.

Club Med Phuket also include in your accommodation cost, all day dining and bar, kids club and a wide range of activities and sports.

I am looking for a tour to include the games of the Hong Kong Sevens next year, can you point me in the right direction?

Doc: Have a look at International Sports Tours (sportstours.com.au). They provide a couple of package options including accommodation, flights and tickets to these rugby games.

Their accommodation is within walking distance to the stadium, plus the bars and restaurants of the Wanchai entertainment district.

You can choose from three ticket grades beginning with the Essentials package which includes general admission tickets.

The Sportsman’s Bar and Premium packages offer a range of seating plus on-site and off-site catering.

Keith Prowse Travel (kpt.com.au) also offer three different tour packages to choose from, the Essentials, Signature and Ultimate.

Beginning at $A2185 per person twin share, these vary in cost according to the standard of accommodation, nights stay and inclusions.

Events Worldwide Travel (events.com.au) are another providing packages to this event in April 2017.

I will be travelling to central Europe, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic and Germany plus Copenhagen and I’m wondering which currency will be most popular? Do all these countries accept the Euro or will we have to use the separate currencies of each particular country?

Doc: Take Euro with you, and convert this to the local currency if and when needed, for example if you are in a small country village and they only accept local dollars. Alternatively, in the following countries you will find it easy to withdraw local currency from an ATM or bank.

Poland prefers the national currency of Zloty, Hungary the Forint and it’s the Koruna in the Czech Republic.

You will have no issue using the Euro in Germany and Austria, while in Copenhagen (Denmark) you will find most shops, hotels and restaurants will display the price in Kroner and Euro. That being said, it is always a good idea to double check first that Euro is accepted as payment, if that’s all you have.
