Baan Karonburi Phuket

... to go to the surface because she started panicking under the water and didn't have Stretch there to calm her down like she did before. It poored the entire way back to the hotel and there was some flooding in the surrounding towns.

So in our time spent in Phuket we really didn't get a chance to explore Phuket at all, instead we spent most of the time on tours exploring the surrounding islands which were pretty cool.

On our way to Ko Samui...

... and sunbathing we took to the water again on the Kayak, only this time the water was getting a bit more choppy. We were a bit nervous as the kayak was getting bounced about a bit by the waves, and before we knew it we’d been blown quite a way out and there was no beach in sight anymore; only sheer limestone cliffs to our left which we didn’t dare get to close to as the waves were crashing off them quite hard. We ...

... the fine is not serious, a minimal 400 baht (£8) so we werent too worried). We quickly turned around and headed towards the actual coastal road. Our first stop was Karon beach, about 20 minutes away. Already the beaches were looking better and the hagglers had been left on Patong so that was one thing. We settled for a quick meal whereby we got dragged into a teddious yet slightly ridiculous conversation with an Australian man. A wee sample of the ...

... trees which is pretty cool.
Afterwards we finally settled for the night where we went camping in our Bungalows. They were so cool and all of us had a merry old time at the bar on campsite.

It was definitely hard to sleep because you couldn't help but feel like there were bugs all over you...which there were most of the time.

... matched in size..If anything..I would say he was a few kilo's heavier than me. I would later find out that Mamai has had over 40 fights. He looked like he was ready to go as well.

Closed my eyes..thought some good thoughts..then tapped the corner 3 times..and proceeded to the next corner ...

... anchoring by some boats. Besides day tourism, Phi Phi Leh provides another source of revenue, in the form of a bird called the Fork Tail Swift, whose saliva nests make the base ingredient for the Chinese delicacy, Bird's Nest Soup. It was hard to believe this region was ravaged by the tsunami just over five years ago, as the area appears to be well on its feet and bustling with life. I'm sure if we had spent more than a couple of hours on Phi Phi Don however, we would ...

... started asking Mitch if he had his insurance card on him. Kata Beach on Phuket Island is so relaxing and laid-back. The resort is beautiful and a great change of pace from crazy/loud Bangkok. We had lunch at a Thai restaurant right outside the hotel. The food was okay, but when Mitch found a dead baby cockroach in his food we knew it was time to go. We walked down the street and ...
