Hi

We arrived in Phuket on Tuesday 27th November after a 13 hour train journey from Chiang Mai back to Bangkok then a 2 hour flight to Phuket, Train journey wasn't as bad as i thought it would be and we all had bunk beds and slept most of the way and luckily only see a cochroach as we left which was right near my bed yuk....

Flight was quick and easy but the tiredness was hitting me a bit, Phuket was lovely when i got here i felt like i was properly on holiday now, sun shining , parm trees and yes a beach at last whooooo, apartments were nice apart from jen kept seeing ants and we had a bathroom with a shower on the wall and had know bath or curtain below so you really could dance in the shower,

soon as we got there it was bikini's on and white legs out and straight to the beach, beach is lovely and the sea is nice and warm, that day spent most of day having a dip in the sea or falling asleep on the beach was so so tired.....after the beach we went shopping there so many markets here selling everything and anything like in koh san road in bangkok but even more stalls, that night we went for a italian which was nice and then we went for drinks in tiger bar so many random people out here you have all the lady boys followed by old men yuk.... walking up the strip is mad everyone trying to sell u things, or lady boys trying to get money off you for pictures off them and constantly thai men asking if u want a tuk tuk taxi so anoying, like does it look like i need a taxi after that fat italian know i need to at least walk off the grlic bread ha ha

Second day (wed 28th nov)

We had to pack up all our stuff and go to our new guest house as we had only 1 night booked in this hotel but lucky enough my mum and dads mate alan had a guest house up the road wasn't anything as nice as our first one but was clean and had a big roon, no pool thou either, so i literally had a fight with my back pack to get it all packed again its such a nightmare living out of a back pack, and i have so much stuff its a joke, u know me always bring literally everything but the kitchen sink ha ha.... after checking our bags in we head straight back to the beach and today was even hotter whoooo lovely spent the whole day there, then more shopping, then quickly back to have a shower also i\even splashed out and went to hair dressers to get my hair blow dryed and striaghtend only 1.50 in our money what a result and thai lady did good....then we went for dinner then striaght to the bars we ended up in some random bars with lady boys dancing on tables it was funny but scary, they kept hugging me and flashing there boobs so wasn't impressed ha ha, after that we meet 3 italian guys who were journalist's from italy doing a documentary on the tsumai, one of the guy was stunning but facied jenna lucky cow ha ha... then we went onto tiger bar again there was busting the r&b tunes we was loving it, thai women dance so funny they hardly move, sort of just side step they really need to losen up ha ha, that night got in late
