Wanaburee Resort Phangnga

... upon your return. There are worse fates then to be at the beck and call of the dive shops I suppose but one of the only bright spots about not having IM around anymore is that traveling and moving around is a lot easier and I don’t have to worry about too many logistics but now that she is gone, I have planted my seasonal roots in khao lak. All things considered, I would rather have IM hanging around and being a pain in my side but those days have passed me by.

... this last time I was here. Doug jokes that the little plastic bags for our shoes are really puke bags, ha ha---um, he is actually right! We all have worried looks on our faces as land disappears behind us. Suddenly the reality of how dangerous this ride is sinks in. We are in the middle of nowhere, a vast nothingness is all around us and we feel very small and vulnerable. I am seated at the very back of the boat and Doug is just inside ...

... walk away! So hung out on the nice beaches. One night we went to a bar on the east side with a free buffet. While we were waiting for some papaya salad to be made I noticed a lot of cockroaches scurrying around. Then one ran across Chris' foot, on to my foot, and up my leg. I violently karate kicked the air, while grabbing Chris, and him whispering "don't freak out" at me. The giant creature flew off my leg ...

... hela natten utan att vakna till böneutropen. Vi har saknat Kuala Lumpur. Om man använd** en klyscha som smältdegel när man kort skall beskriva en stad som Kuala Lumpur så är man måhända tråkig men väldigt nära v**kligheten. Det är hett och fuktigt och bullrigt. Att färdas med bil i denna stad är enligt min mening fullkomligt vansinnigt. Men det är ju trots allt vad ett stort antal människor gör. Och vem är jag att idiotförklara dessa? Oavsett hur Du tar Dig fram så är det tr ...

... do. I'm really just trying to see into the darkness and decide which of these men does not smell like alcohol...and who can actually carry both of us and our luggage on their cart. So we settle on this young guy who believes he can do it....I'm just thankful to hop on board and have someone carry me out of this hell hole we've arrived at. In our little cart powered by a tiny motorbike, we negotiate thick, dirty, fast-moving traffic...and little ...

... The bathroom in one villa is so luxurious we didn't even realise it was a shower area - it was like stepping into a private garden. The girls tell us that the Villas are going to get renovated in a few weeks! What for I ask myself? Outside the Villas, Rob takes a photo of the big pond which is really the sewerage treatment pond-thingy! If only people knew what it really was! Disguised as a beautiful pond with water spout (an aerator). I ...

... remainder. Not bad but not what I expected. We walk across the road and to our waiting carriage. We are all excited and satisfied, carrying bags of fruit and treats to eat back at the Resort. We tell the kids that that was dinner. They are soooo disappointed, apparently they have been wanting a "dracula" all day, which is macaroni with bolognaise. We are in THAILAND and they want to eat spag bog! Actually Mei-Mei has been eating not much else ...

... what I wanted to spend but made life easier. Karon Beach was supposed to be the relaxed part of Phuket, well it is not, thousand of people whatever you go, row after row of umbrellas, it makes South Beach look like a very calm place!!!!!!! There were so many people all over, that we choose to sit and have beer during the afternoon and a bite to eat to called an early night, . They picked us up at 8.30 am took us to get the others guess ...

I had booked a 3 island snorkeling trip for that day and just waited around till the tour van showed up to pick me up (around 1 PM or so). Was sharing the couch with this one girl who was avidly planning her Phuket sightseeing. Struck up a conversation with her and found out she was a half Mexican, half Korean (interesting combination) who was teaching English in Korea. We made plans to meet up later and do dinner once I got back from my tour. Her name was Patricia. The tour van came and we ...

... in the decrepit properties of the guy next door until we could move back into our other room. It worked like a dream and was actually cheaper, so on that night, Lucy, Stu & I all piled into the same bed, in our shorts and vests and covered from head to toe in luminous paint. Quite a sight the next morning I can tell you! I phoned Qantas from Ko Phan-Ngan and put my flight to Australia back a few weeks to accommodate for this ...
