... days, Thai religious holidays and other holidays; the history of Thailand, and the proper Thai etiquette for men and women in all types of situations. We also learned about Thai food and were treated to a traditional Thai lunch : kap khaw (any food provided to eat with rice&#8230;. Sort of like a family style)<br><br>Lastly we learned about the complicated process of VISA&#8217;s getting, keeping, working and traveling around Thailand and bordering countries ...

... beaches for a few days.<br><br>In the morning I excitedly woke up desperate to see this place in the light and I wasn't let down, it is stunning here and so peaceful. In the few days we were here we only saw a few other travellers, just bliss! In true rainforest style it also rained a lot but that soon clears up and when the sun came out we went on a canoe trip down the river and through the forest where we saw cliff faces ...

... of Thailand and for good reason (also the location of the movie "The Beach" with Leonardo DiCaprio). The water is turquoise and the island is surrounded by massive limestone cliffs, covered in verdant vines and plants. I had thought that the Gili Islands were the closest thing to paradise but I was wrong - Koh Phi Phi is a sight to be seen. The best part was the weather - sunny with just a few white wisps of clouds in the sky. After our arrival and check in at our hotel, we sought ...

... good for its waves. Diving in over-excitedly, our afternoon fun was spoilt by a jellyfish bite on my leg. Being a bit of a baby, and in all fairness it was a bad bite, Neil looked after me by taking us to a pool at a local hotel and we spent the afternoon playing around with all the inflatables they had there, with the pool all to ourselves. Having no one there made it extremely entertaining when playing the game of 'how far you can kick the ball ...

We arrived in Phuket town on the very hot and sunny afternoon of January 15/09. Since we had visited Phuket in 2005 we were familiar with the town layout and so we walked past the team of tuktuk drivers and onward for 10 muntes to the On On hotel. We were happy that they had rooms available as it has some of the cheapest beds in town. We paid 250B for a room with a toilet and shower inside of it. The cheapest rooms did not include a shower or toilet and were only 180B ...

... Beach, for example, might set me back a mighty bail fine, less one kidneywallethairpiece, or a face full of tar. Here, however, Long Beach means sleeping in the spun sugar, heavenly tangle of a mosquito net, the saviour of your existence, atop a lumpy flea-ridden bed and a stained pillow, with your dear friend Kelly. This Long Beach is a leaky longtail ride away from Ko Phi Phi, one of the most notoriously serene, incomparably beautiful islands on this known ...

... but never-the-less it was worth the experience. After the elephant ride they take you to another large hut where they have a buffet of Thai food set up for you to eat. It was very delicious and all you could eat too. Afterwards they return you back to your hotel. Friday, I went on a sail-boat cruise with Phuket Sails, skippered by Captain Mark. It was a fantastic day! They too will pick you up at your hotel and drive you to their pier, which from ...

... toki innostui sitten ajamaan ambulanssin imussa, perävaloissa kiinni jotain 200 kilometriä tunnissa ja oli kyllä tuskanhiki otsalla kun viimein Green Mountain hotellin pihaan kaarrettiin. Ei jumankeuta näitä jätkiä! Käveltiin kauppaan vielä tässä illalla hakemaan juomia ja aivan hiestä märkänä palattiin takasin ...asteita nimittäin vielä illalla komeasti yli 30. Eli Thaimaan osuus alkaisi tästä nyt ja katotaas miten äijien käy! :-)

... few days, we've been getting used to the sheer heat here in Phuket. It's the hottest weather I think we'd had over the whole holiday and it's been pretty exhausting! We've stayed in and around our accomodation in Phuket town itself as we've been well and truly 'beached out' after Ko Samui! The 'mansion' here is very nice. Air Conditioning (for the 1st time all holiday!), a balcony and an on-site swimming pool! This coupled with the fact ...

... sex industry here. As a seasoned traveller to Thailand I barely even notice. Ha - it's hard not to notice when a hookah reaches out and wipes the greasy palm of her hand across your forehead. ICK! Do not touch The Rodster! <br><br>The party was still going on outside but we were done in for the night. The kids have a nice, posh hotel right on Patong Beach with a great pool and ...
