Family Inn Hotel Patong

... in the many limestone rock islands that extend out of the emerald Andaman sea water in Phang Nga Bay. The last stop was Ko Phing Kan but a large rainstorm persisted so we didn't leave the boat and never got to see it. We decided it was just too wet at this time of year to risk any more trips so we remained in town from then on.
Our resort was very comfortable and we were happy and content to stay put until our adventure continued on to Bangkok in late September.

... 10kg or less! Phuket has been an awesome place to stop for a month. Think being January helps as it is not the hottest part of the year. Taking an apartment instead of a hotel was a good move, as we like to have the space and at least a big fridge in the kitchen (for the beer of course). Sara tells us she can find cheaper accommodation but we did enjoy having the terrace with the view over the bay. We'll be back...next stop Hong Kong!

... of jobs available, but as I needed to leave the country to go get a visa, I wasn't sure how much time I would have to look for one. So I ruled that option out. The other options were, take the certificate, move my flight to Oz and work there for longer or take the teaching placement. I finally decided to take the placement as it was what I was there for in the first place. So I'll be teaching somewhere north of Bangkok, but not got many details about it. I have asked the company for ...

... two of them and spent the next hour gliding through the giant waves that were coming in. It was the best time! Unsurprisingly, swimming against the waves tired us out pretty quickly. I had the itch for a plate of spaghetti, so we found an Italian restaurant and had what I guess was Thai-style spaghetti. Tiring day. Bed time for sure... but not before watching Harrison Ford battle the terrorists in Air Force One on DVD!!

... arrive on 1st June. Bungalows here all face a swimmimg pool......the bungalows have a glass frontage with smoked mirror doors so you cannot see in the rooms from the outside but can see out from the inside.Except when you have a light on in the room and then you provide a show for everyone.......rather funny waltzing about in the old birthday suit in the morning making a cuppa with the curtains open and ...

... and I try to negotiate a fare to Patong with him. He pulls a face and points at the road. Before we left Sydney I did read that Tuk-Tuks can drop off at Hotels but aren't allowed to pick up any unsolicited fares from drop-off points at Hotels, or else they have the "transport mafia" to deal with. I run down the driveway and around the corner for him to pick us up. He slowly drives past, pulling faces at me again and points to the "men" across the ...

... on America Idol! SHE SAID: Adam is right the pool at AtPanta was really nice; a good temperature, lots of greenery around, and cute elephant fountains. This was also the first time that we had our very own cottage to ourselves, our first house. The perfect place to relax before heading the the craziness of Cambodia.

... I have to say I don't there is a better way to wake up than knowing you will be under the water in 15 minutes, so nice. I loved it. I ended up doing 14 dives in the 4 days we were there, I only skipped one. On the last day we saw Manta Rays with a 5 - 6 metre wing span, so awsome, I can still see them in my head. They are such beautiful creatures. Now I am sad because who know when I will ...
