Andaman Resortel Hotel Phuket Patong

... Sightseeing all day. Dave arranged a scooter for us and 2 helmets and of we went. The Scooter is the transportation in any Asian country. Who cares for a car?? To big,no parking,it get scratched, to expensive to buy anyway. No the Scooter is the answer!! So Pauly & Blondy together down to the south of Phuket. Dave showed us all the good sights, and we had some late lunch near the most southern part of the island. Phuket is a beautiful island. Friendly people..they ...

... Town, which is an impossible comparison. For one, CPT smells like sunshine and hot pavement while Phuket smells like garbage and spicy pollution. However, I have begun to accept Phuket for what it is and am warming up to this place. The craziness is a bit intoxicating. I recently rented a motorbike for the month, and the added freedom as well as learning to manuever through the insanity has certainly helped me see a new side ...

... was a mistake! They started growling at us and one jumped up on Anna's head! Now this is an interesting situation, surrounded by a pack of hungry growling monkeys on their turf. At this point i started to get a little nervous, i didn't want to get my ass kicked by a monkey :) We got the monkey off Anna and headed towards the water. Escape successful, most of us swam back to avoid further monkey aggression. This was Jasons last night on the island so we hit the town to party. We went ...

... and made sure she paid us back, it started to rain quite hard and we discovered the bus had no wipers...this did not seem to bother the driver in the least bit but we definitely could not see a thing. Jes was attacked for a second time by monkeys after her slurpee...why she had a slurpee near the monkeys is another story and not to be out done Sheryl walked too close to the monkeys ...

... such an experience. The caves can only be entered depending on the tides, so in some cases we were required to lie flat on our backs in the canoes to pass through. And then on the other side of the caves are amazing lagoons (hongs) carved out of the limestone cliffs. Really amazing. We explored a few caves including the Bat Cave (full of bats and smelly bat poo) and the Diamond Cave (sparkling stalagtites) before paddling back to the boat ...

Stayed here for a few days before heading to Phi Phi, We found a gorgeous little hostel wirth really lovely owners who were really helpful. Neasa could have stayed here forever I reckon. Beach was lovely but really strong rip tides. Not good for swimming in.

... front of my building I noticed a pile of riff raff strewn about on the lawn. I didn't think much of it since my life is in a constant state of disarray and my home was no exception. I didn't realize until my brother had pulled away that everything on the lawn were actually my belongings. My roommates had decided to conduct some sort of hillbilly eviction while I was gone. I tried to find out just what the hell had happened but they refused ...

... boy! There are lots of prostitutes and ladyboys, it may sound very sleazy but its quite funny and surreal. There are loads of people selling all sorts of stuff on the streets, be it lighters, cigarrettes, hats etc. But I finally gave in on a fresh flower necklace! We met a Canadian and a mexican on the second night and some Thai guy who knew all the words to every Oasis song! Rob was very chuffed with this bar as it plaed Stone Roses when he walked in!

... a commission for stopping there with all of us, but I ordered some food, and surprisingly it was really good. So 2 more hours to Phuket, this is after and hour and a half in this cramped van, were the AC barely is blowing so your sweating your nuts off. This is where I say again, why did I leave Koh Tao. So we pull in to town of Phuket, the drop off station is pretty much not near anything, probably another little scam, so you have to pay them more money to take you to the ...
