... had to leave on Sunday morning to go home, as he only had one weeks holiday :-(
Managed to get a cheap but nice room right on the beach, then we headed out to meet Julia. I didn't like Phuket last time I was here, and my opinion hasn't changed. It's just like a Thai style Benidorm, including Thai style 'Sticky Vicky's'. You can't walk down the main street at night without getting offered entry ...
... relaxing way of starting each day. The places we visited included various locations used for a number of famous films, (James Bond and 'The Beach'). The fabulous, sandy beaches lived up to all of the images that we have seen in various posters although the large number of tourists made it a bit crowded at times. All in all we had an incredible four weeks away. It's now time to get back to normal - whatever that may be!!
Phuket, Thailand pandbAfter a long night of drinking and watching the lady boys, we had to get up early to ride elephants! This is one of the things I have been looking forward to the entire trip! A tuk-tuk picked us up at 8AM and we headed to this "Safari" about 15 minutes from our resort. When we got there, it was nothing like what I expected. I felt so bad for these poor elephants. At first, they put us in this cow-drawn carriage. I felt bad for these cows too. We rode up to a water buffalo ...
Phuket, Thailand deniseosu4... we began to find this to be the funniest thing that we had ever heard! Not joking, we half ran half crawled back to our bungalow and my throat was sore trying to hold in the laughter! Our neighbours didnt know what was walking up the driveway. They were sitting on their deck having a nice romantic night as we were bent double and hobbling along with legs crossed and laughing and snorting all the way home. Dont think that they were that impressed. Ros ...
Patong, Phuket, Thailand sallypoffHola! So Ko Phi Phi is an island about an hour and a half by boat from Railay Beach. Ko Phi Phi was badly hit during the tsunami of 2004, not to say completely submerged, or so we heard, but you could not tell anything happened now! We arrived early in the morning and went to meet Andra and Stefan in their hotel which was situated on apparently the best beach of the island. Of course, we had to work to get there and walk on a sketchy path as ...
Ko Phi Phi, Thailand ericabg... I have to have plenty of fuel to practice. Otherwise, I just don't see how I could do it. If I don't get the fat loss result I'm looking for I just may have to push myself to do it. They shed some light on the colon cleanse. They told me they shove a tube in your butt and jet it out with water. I definitely ain't digging the sound of that, me having a virgin booty and all... Looks as though I've beaten smoking for good. I can't imagine trying to breathe in ...
Phuket, Thailand taishan... cop. This was not much of a surprise considering the circumstances. "Sorry about that officer. We didn't know where to sleep; we're not from around here." I said groggily while waving my hand vaguely in the direction of our car and it's out of state license plates. Praying that he would pay more attention to the fact that we were far from home then how dilated our pupils happened to be that morning. "Just pack up and get going, okay?" He ...
Phuket, Thailand nealinthailand... It has rained three times since I have been in Thailand and when it rains, it dumps. Sorry I still have not uploaded any photos. The internet connections here are pretty slow. I am not diving tomorrow and will try to upload as many photos as I can. I have been taking photos constantly since I arrived. OK, I'm off to go to the next town over for a dinner party with some people I met the other day.
Patong, Thailand gage... that we are, we chose to cast our votes for the candidate who had the fewest votes at the time. Finally, at the end of the festival we released Thai sky lanterns on the beach. Thai people use sky lanterns all year round for celebrations and other special occasions. It's considered good luck to release a sky lantern and they believe that flying a lantern is like letting grief and ill fortune fly away from ...
Phuket, Thailand jwharamMy parents were "Ten Pound Poms". When they arrived in 1962, they moved into a flat in Leichardt, Sydney. In the same block, lived another couple called the Flories. At the end of '62, they had a child called Michael. Three months later, my older sister, Karen was born. I was born three years later, and ever since I remember, I have always had a friend called Michael Florie. Loads of times, he would either come to our house or we would go to his, and backyard cricket matches consisting of ...
