Well it was up at the crack of dawn this morning to fly to Phuket. I managed to pack up all my stuff and check out of the hotel and walk down to the Sky Train station. Once there, I had to lug all my crap up about three flights of stairs, as this station is built specifically to service the airport, you think they might have a lift or something! I got the train with no hassle to the main airport, off loaded my bag and went and sat down and had some breakfast. Breakfast this morning consisted of a really nice pizza, which actually had stretchy cheese.

I went down to my boarding gate to wait for my flight, which ended up being delayed for about an hour, due to the incoming aircraft being late also. Go Air Asia! I finally boarded the plane and it took about an hour and a half to reach Phuket, I collected my bag and thankfully my hotel transfer was waiting to collect me. Really wouldn't have wanted to struggle with taxi drivers in the insane heat and humidity outside the airport with all my stuff.

I reached my hotel, Club Bamboo at about 2pm, after setting off from Bangkok at 7am. With all the farting around, I'm not sure I would have been better off on the bus!

I checked in, the room is ok for $30 a night, except the toilet insists in talking to me all night. After check in I went out to explore the local area and get some food. I had a nice chicken burger in a western style pub. I walked for miles and miles and did not find the beach. I eventually decided to take the long walk back and found the hotel no problem and went back to my room for a much needed rest.
