General Travel
World Travel Center-Good travel insurance web site.
CircleOfAsia.com-This is the company we used to book our room at the Peninsula. Their rates were the lowest and included breakfast and taxes. The site also allowed us to chose a balcony room; other booking sites don't give you any choices-it's a standard room only. They were also recommended by many different people on the message boards. The only down side is that the room must be pre-paid (common with web booking sites) and they have pretty stiff cancellation rules (less than 7 days notice and you forfeit all), hence the travel insurance.
AsiaCyberHolidays.com-They had a good price on a room at the Peninsula if you are looking for a standard deluxe room. Includes breakfast and tax.
