Hello all...another quick update! Spent a little more time than anticipated in Phuket but moved out to a quieter area, Surin Beach, which made the stay a little more bearable than rermaining in Patong!!! I didn't make it to Phi Phi...mainly because the trip there didn't really seem worthwhile with my visa expiring in around a week....and it appeared to be extremely busy and consequently, expensive! So.....with my visa due to expire I decided to make a trip out of the country as opposed to a 12 hour visa run to Burma! Therefore it's another month and another country....Malaysia in March!!! I've been here in Kuala Lumpur now for a couple of days. Not really sure what to do from here...I spent some time yesterday working out a bit of an intinery only to change my mind about much of that when I spoke to some people last night. Will give it some thought tonight and decide what to do tomorrow......
