the bus trip to phuket was not fantastic airplane would be better i left bangkok at 7.30pm (14th may ) bus was 30minutes late , so it took 12 hours to out first stop somewhere in thailand but i dont really know where i was then transfers twice to different locations taking about10 minutes each then i was at surat tanti where i waited 30 minutes for my bus to phuket i started off on a luxury coach now i was in a crapy old mini bus, the bus was full with others going to phuket, on the way there the driver stoped about 2 times doing somthing to the wheels god know we all thought we would never get there arriving into phuket at 1.30 pm 15th may we then was put into car to our hotels/hostels i picked up 3 other girls so they were staying at the same place as me they didint have anywhere booked so they followd me. asoon as i got to the hostel i had a shower then went to sleep.

i got up the next day (friday 16th ) and we all got the bus to patong beach where we had breakfast at a irish pub we also saw this very strange thing i took oictures but there was a rainbow circle around the sun it was amazing not seen anything like that before in my life everyone was pointing up and taking pictures it lasted in the sky from 11 in the morning to 3.30 on afternoon. it was pretty hot so we then had a look around the shops we got hagged abit but it was low season but still alot of people on hoilday and lots of backpackers. saturday i didnt do much just relax and think about what tours i want to do as there so many that go to james bond island the the phi phi islands.

sunday two of the girls moved on to the next place so me and alison went to kata beach alison friend that she meet on the bus came to visit here for 1 nightso we took the bus to kata karan beach it was a really nice beach not a busy as patong beach still lots of tourists, patong is more famous people know about it more than the ohter beachs in phuket still i thougt kata beach was nicer i got really sunburnt so i know i was going to have a nice tan in a few days.
