Orchid Resort Phuket

Well, since we spoke last an awful lot has happened. We finished up by doing a bit of shopping on the Khao San Road and then got a taxi back to our hotel. Did a bit of bargaining for trainers etc that Leanne wanted - not bad - she ended up with some Pumas for not much more than 10pounds!! The next day was our Bangkok shopping day. We took the skytrain to one of the big shopping centres and started doing what us girls do best.........SHOP!! I bought some trainers - nice Reeboks for about 15pou...
