Today was our last day in Phuket and tonight was the start of a big festival in the old town of Phuket to celebrate the Chinese New Year. We may of mentioned there is a significant Chinese influence in this region and is reflected in the cuisine plus the Chinese lanterns everywhere! The previous night sleep had been an unsettled due to a gang of male students from Bangkok arriving at stupid o'clock for the said celebrations and not really understanding the concep...

I headed through to the lobby and had the usual breakfast whilst I let Laura sleep in as she was out for the count!! I did a little bit of pointless web searching and researched Cambodia in terms of things to see and possible accommodation options in Phnom Penh.
