25 February 2009 Today was our last full day in Thailand so we booked ourselves on a boat trip to visit Phang Nga Bay. Puy helped us to get a really good deal by managing to persuade the lady at the travel company that we should only have to pay the child price! The only condition was that we didn't tell any of the other guests. When we arrived in Poy Bay we boarded a boat that took us out to various islands off the coast of Phuket. Our first stop was Lawa Isla...

22 February 2009 We went to the golf club swimming pool today for a day of relaxing.

The ferry was very busy and when we arrived at the ferry port everything was rather hectic with several thai peopl...

13 February 2009 We left Bangkok this morning for the airport for our flight to Phuket. It seems like we've been at the airport every few days for the last couple of weeks! This flight was only an hour though so our shortest one yet. We were met in arrivals at Phuket airport by Nick and Jack and went back to Nick's house in the centre of the island. We were made to feel really welcome as soon as we arrived - we even had our own fridge! And our room was a milli...
