2 nights in phuket and we check into our LUXURY hotel which is not only the nicest but the cheapest hotel we've stayed in yet at just £3 a night! Aircon and English tv is so good we don't leave the room for the first day! Whoops and when we do it's to get Pizza Hut! Awful travellers! The next day we are slightly better and walk down to the beach and round the market later we go to the huge shopping centre for some window shopping and bowling! Also we finally get...

So today we were forced into doing another tour! We only wanted to see maya bay but to get a taxi boat just us worked out 3 times the price of the tour so we went ahead with the 5 island tour instead of 1, first stop was monkey cove which was a tiny beach with hundreds of monkeys on which you could feed, as we didn't think to bring any food for them I tricked one of the smaller monkeys into posing for a picture by handing him an empty lychee skin, when he realis...

We go to a hotel pool round the corner which over looks the ocean, perfect cure for a hangover, this and half a c...

When we arrived all tourists had to pay 20 baht to enter! No idea why! Something about keeping the island clean, who knows! Again we have to walk to the other side of the island although we were offered taxis which ...

Today we go on an island hopping tour! It's starts at 2pm meaning we get to sleep in for once! Our first stop in tup island which is connected to 2 other islands by sand bank when the tide is out meaning we could walk from one to the other through the water! The beach were lovely pure white sand and the water was completely clear. An hour later we are back on the boat and heading to another island to snorkel, we were also meant to do deep water soloing (jumping o...
