Today, was time to check out of the Bodego Hostel and head down the west coast of Phuket to the beach of Karon. I packed up and checked out, walked to the small shopping centre to have some breakfast, and a drink before getting a Tuk-Tuk to Karon! ********************************************* Oh, I've been meaning to write about the traders of Phuket! Of course everyone wants you to buy things from them, weather it be suits, gifts, DVD's and offering massages. ...

I was picked up about 7:45, and when I couldn't see Richard and Laura on the mini bus, I guessed they would be picked up by a different transfer, as their hotel was the other side of the hill!
