After being back home unexpectedly for a while, we're back on the horse and in Thailand; the land of a million smiles. We got a flight straight to Phuket from Bangkok, and went to a place called Patong for a few days. We stayed at a good hotel called Kelly's hotel; admittedly the owner was a bit of an Aussie bellend, but to be fair that's Australians in general.

After 2 days we decided that was enough of the Go-Go bars and old men, so we headed to Phi Phi island - this has to be my favourite place in Thailand because it's chilled, brilliant food and quality beaches. Note to Mum - you will love the food! Loads of fresh fish and crabs cooked to perfection on a grill.

When we arrived in Phi Phi, my mate Toy (a Thai local) was waiting at the ferry port and had already squared us away with a hotel that's just off the beach, with A/C and a pool - ideal! It was Toy's last night on the island so we made special effort to get him extra hammered for his 9:00 ferry in the morning. It was a very messy night!

It's good seeing all the locals I met last time and surprisingly they all still remember my name.

Today we've done nothing but lay on the beach all day and now Nix is getting ready for the night out while I lay on the bed. I'm feeling pretty hungry now so I think I'll order a prawn curry......
