Squareone Hotel Phuket Patong

... weird driving back on the LHS of the road. The airport is on the northern end of the island & it is lush & jungelly. Looked at a couple of places before deciding on the Chada Guesthouse which had been recommended by a post on trip advisor. It is on Rat-U- Thit 200 Pee Rd in Patong. It is 1 block back from the beach & in the middle of shops, markets , restaurants & ...

... wir mussten uns jedoch auf eine etwa sechsstuendige Wartezeit am Flughafen von Chiangmai einstellen, da vor 18 Uhr kein Flugzeug fu** uns zur V**fuegung stand. Die Zeit wurde sich natu**lich in d** naheliegenden Airport Shopping Plaza v**trieben und nun sind wir endlich da. Im sehr warmen Sueden Thailands. Auf ein** sehr grossen Insel nahe dem Festland. Die **sten Planungen sind schon gemacht worden. Mal schauen was auf den vielen Inseln so auf uns wartet.

... back when the sun was just getting high enough to bring out the beach bums. I stopped along the way to pick up sea shells and collect my breath. What a morning. I'd run more often if I had a beach like that to run on. When I returned, I ordered breakfast for Jenny and I. After gobbling down some fresh fruit and Thai noodles, we headed down to our spa date. Talk about being pampered. Fresh drinks, feet and back massages and ...

... so the overcrowding was copeable, and the bus journey got underway. We managed to get to Krabi with minimal disruption, apart from brief stop to rescue the roof bags from the thunderstorm! And also a couple of drop offs for people along the way. But then we picked up more passengers and the bus became overcrowded once again. At 7.30pm, 11 hours after setting off, we still were not in Phuket. What happened to 10 hours?! We finally arrived at a ...

... no doubt get mauled by a pack of wild Thai gangsters. Midge and I had to share a bed last night, so that brings our spoon count to 3. Patong is not what it used to be, or maybe we were just blind to it on our last Thailand trips. No western girls, all creepy western guys with ladyboys and thai ladies, it's pretty gross. We'll stick it out here for a couple of days maybe do a few day trips, then it's off to Phi Phi.

... walked through the Bangla Road, and found the Patong Beach and waited for the Sunset. Then we walked around and had dinner. Phi Phi Island At about 08.30 am, a minivan picked us up to pier in Chalong Bay. It takes about 20-30 minutes from Patong to the pier. There are a lot of people; which would join the tour to phi Phi Island and around. Phi Phi Island has 2 islands, Phi Phi Ley and Phi Phi Don. In this tour, they used speedboat to take us ...

... entertaining evening at Dino's Mini-Golf where Sarah retained her title won in Gran Canaria 4 years ago! We arrived in Phi Phi the same time ousted PM Thaksin Shinawatra returned to Thailand & with that the skies opened & it rained for the day - maybe that symbolises his future facing various corruption charges... Nevertheless, Phi Phi is a paradise island with no motorised traffic, beautiful beaches & ...

Op 3/12/2007 komen we om 5u25 aan in Bangkok. Om 8u vliegen we van Bangkok naar Phuket. Na anderhalf uur vliegen zullen we aankomen in Phuket. Van hierruit zullen we met de taxi naar ons hotel gaan. In dit eerste hotel verblijven we 12 nachten. Deze twee weken zullen we enkel relaxen en ons verder voorbereiden op onze reis door Maleisië. We kunnen ervan genieten om goed tot rust te komen.

... you should run and evacuate should it occur again, as well as in the reconstruction that is still going on. Patong beach in Phuket is crrrraaazzzy man! Really, I thought you could not get more people shoving things in your face to buy than in Cartagena, Colombia, but oh no, how wrong one can be! Just the first day has provided us with a plethora of comic relief with the things that vendors and massagers ...
