Well Koh Samui was good, Chaweng beach is the best place to stay on samui lots of bars, places to eat and general tourist nonsense had a good week there. Very expensive and too many touts (including timeshare!)for our liking. We took the bus to Phuket, should have been about 3 hours took about 8 and unfortunately had our (locked!) bags broken into whilst they were stored under the bus (could only have happened during the 1 and half hour ferry crossing) You live and learn at this game.
We stayed in patong hired a bike and saw the whole island, found a nice place for a two week holiday in the north of the island. Naithon, very peaceful reasonably priced resort, the opposite of Patong.
Patong is a single man's dream destination, loads of scantily dressed very pretty young Thai women (or they looked like women, (but some had VERY big feet)). We then flew back to Bangkok for 1 night and are now in Siagon. Within 2 hours of arriving a young lady offered to "Make Andy very happy", I have been racking my brain ever since trying to work out what she meant. We met our neighbour for dinner last night, which was good as he gave us some good tips and sorted some stuff out for us,(a trustworthy person who speaks the local language is worth their wieght in gold). Time for dinner now in the superb place our neighbour took us to last night. (I had fillet steak with all the trimmings for 2 quid!!)
Hope everyone is well and enjoying the snow!!!!
