Anchalee Inn Hotel Phuket Patong

... the seat back doesn’t automatically become the temporary property of the person standing up. What I mean by this is that it doesn’t mean you have the right to lean on it or into it. I had the misfortune of having someone lean violently into my seat back which almost resulted in me wearing my water(fortunately it wasn’t a hot cup of coffee but I learned my lesson about that the hard way thanks to Air Transat). I quickly looked up at the offender ...

... some great feedback from our tutors and also from the students. It gives you a big kick when the students come up after and thank you for the lesson. Them telling you they enjoyed makes all the planning worthwhile. It feels like we have only just arrived now that it is nearly over but we are once again looking forward to getting on the road and having some adventures. It also makes for a much better read on here for you lot too J We ...

... decided that I could not possibly take any more of the sun and headed back to the hotel to take a dip in the pool to rinse off. Frank wasn't feeling too well so he had stayed in the room all day and slept mostly. We all layed around some and then decided that we would have a few drinks, grab something to eat, and then head out to the bars. We had nothing else to do and it was Friday night! We noticed that that the streets seemed a lot quieter than usual and ...

... for entertainment, if a couple toursts are feeling brave they can get in the ring too! The reward is a free bucket of alcohol. Justin and I had already had a bucket each but we wanted another so we volunteered. We were the first match of the night so the crowd was totally into it. People were placeing bets, entire sides would be going for one or the other, felt like a football (soccer) match! I have had some previous muay thai training and Justin ...

... Det ligg** ett svagt dis öv** bukten och vi skymtar vaga siluett** av öar i horisonten. Båtar av olika slag ***** lojt i den svaga dyningen, förtöjda vid sina färgglada bojar. Stranden är lång och sanden mjuk och skön. Ett gäng grabbar komm** springande eft** oxar, ell** tjurar, i långa rep. En und**lig syn. Vi install**ar oss i vår bungalow. Sängen är en gjuten upphöjning i betong. Nattduksborden lika så. Några andra möbl** finns inte. Toalett och dusch med kallvatten. Men ...

... stumbling back to our room and having a few laughs about what had just happened in the last 12 hours we crashed to bed. We heard the after party was just as big but it was a little disappointing, no people dancing all through the day. After running into Hamesh again the three of us ventured up into the infamous Mushroom Mountain. It took 10 seconds for us to decide to give it a go, hey it is moderately legal ...

... the virtues of tropical fruit and gives a fruit lesson to anyone and everyone on board who will listen to him. "This is rambutan, this is very special banana with very thin skin, this is orange...this is...." . An American man asks Dad "Where are you from?" Dad replied "Australia", the American man says "You don't look Australian" and then they were inseparable all day. Dad told him that before he retired, he was a Corporate Lawyer. Mum ...

... over which to cook the meat in the other bucket. plenty of motorcyles abound, including one kind that has a food cart attached. the shop keeper seem to like to call jason "mr long hair" of which he very quickly tires. they also love to shake hands tightly to hold the customer in the shop doorway. fortunately, we are pretty sweaty and can slip away. we see plenty of thai women sitting or standing with groups of men where if you listen, you can hear things like "i love you ...

... we are due to head to Phi Phi on the 7.30am ferry. As we had only been in bed a few hours we decide to knock this idea on the head and try and get a later ferry. Luckily there was a 1pm ferry that we managed to get, just! We head to Phi Phi where we will be meeting some of Bevs friends for more partying. Right now though neither of us feel like partying or drinking ever again and we vow that we should never drink before we have to travel the next day!!

... night. Damn they are good too. They kicked our asses! So after a few relaxing days at Kata Beach we headed to Patong Beach to see if we could get a bit more action. We certainly found it!!! It ranges from Thai Girls (really boys) walking round the street and dancing on bars, cars with speakers advertising bars/thai boxing, sidewalks that are cut off by all the street vendors (forcing you to walk on the crazy road), bars ...
