Patong Beach, Phuket, Thailand hilaryramsey

We arrived in Phuket after our nightmare journey and stayed in Karom which is the less developed area of the island. It was full of Scandanavian families who were obviously on their half term break. Pete and myself relaxed on the beach for the first couple of days as there was not much to see. Howver Bob did venture into Phuket Town to experience local life. I think he saw someone being searched for drugs and an expat assaulting a Thai girl but said it was quite interesting. I will ...

... I concluded that I would rent a motorbike, go to a winch-cable wakeboard park, buy my little brother some clothes at street shops by Karon beach, where I could get 2 tees, a pair of jeans, a swim suit, and some stylish shades for the price of a pair of shorts at pac-sun. If I had time, I'd go back and visit Em at Leam Sing, grab a yummy meal on the beach, and then get a cheap Thai Massage. I had it all planned out. I was going to have enough fun on Saturday to make up for the ...

... to top it off, a full body rub down with hot stones and warm oils. I think Jenny fell asleep at one point. lol When we were all done, we were served hot tea and fresh fruit. After we left the spa, we spent time at the pool and had a few drinks at the bar planning our next adventure. We ended the night by heading to the beach where Jenny spent the last few minutes of the day surfing in the ocean. The sunset that night was ...

... smudging it! But it turned out nice and im just waiting for it to heal now as its still a bit sore. Ouch : ) So the morning of the 7th we got our flight to Singapore. We had a great time in thailand and we've seen so much but defo looking forward to seeing other places now. I got stung by Air Asia for 2 kilo's excess baggage, the feckers! Dunno where the extra weight in the bag in coming from ill have to offload some stuff! Fran

... away on my popcorn. I'm glad I wasn't ganged up on by an angry mob. I then stood in silence with everyone else. I looked around and witnessed the power of what a cult of personality really is. The Rough Boys are all super nice and friendly but definitely not the kind of guys you want on the wrong side of you! They've all learned kickboxing for years, and Martin has an especially scary Arian look about him.

... need more time. Because the airport bus will take you to Phuket town terminal first, and than you must take the other bus to Patong Beach. There isn't buses route direct from Phuket International Airport to Patong Beach. The trip from the airport to Crown Hostel took about 90 minutes. Crown Hostel is located near Patong Beach, about 5 minutes on foot, and also the famous road Bangla Road. At night, the road is close for vehicle, and only for the ...

We flew from Samui to the Andaman Sea side of Thailand last weekend with the aim of staying on Phuket island for a night, going to Ko Phi Phi for 4 nights & back to Phuket for a night before flying to KL the next day. However, Ko Phi Phi is a very popular destination & even lacked accommodation before the tsunami hit in 2004 - depleting the hotel/resort supply ever further. Therefore, we were only able to get 2 ...

... 10 oz, so very expensive, when ideally we want to keep an entire meal price under $10 for 2 people (including drinks). Lisa is still sick, however James still insists on making me get up early, walk in the heat, and all I want to do is die... Closing off for another day....

... saying she ain't going to make it....we hear the bus slip gears, and what happens....we coast to a stop! After sitting there for a few minutes, the drive jumps back in, oh ya, he got out and walked around for a few minutes and was on his cell phone, we're all like "this isn't happening!" But he jumps in and we are on our merry way again...slowly. This happens a couple more times too. We stop at this little resturaunt, we all figured out pretty quickly that he probably was ...
