Night Before Phi Phi
So I missed a day in blogging, hope no-one holds it against me... What happened after the last blog was insane. We went to Patong for the night life. Men that are women and Go-Go bars. The place was packed. We didn't like it too much. I got really drunk and have some really good advice for anyone drunk in Thailand, NEVER ride a tuk tuk drunk. The fresh air and motion of the car will make you very sick. Lets just say I learnt the hard way and flodded that night. Then yesterday we went to Nai Han beach... man that beach is amazing. Much smaller than the other beaches, less crowded and very very pretty. Took quite a lot of footage to show you guys when I get back. After that I went to a Muay Thai fight. Thai boxing in Thailand, front row, you cannot get better. It started off with 6 year olds fighting then women and then the older men. Damit, if you ever come to Thailand its really an experience. The local crowd is amazing at these fights. Betting, supporting, drinking if you want, friendly people, the atmosphere got me so fired up. After that I went to bed and then decided to see the massive shopping mall here in Phuket. Everything is the same price as what it is in Cape Town. Clothes the works, but the mall was a nice change. The rest of today wasn't that exciting. We just relaxing before going to Phi Phi tomorrow. There are two Italians here now talking to my sister and looking for a night out in Phuket. Looks like tonight might end up making us really drunk. I love staying in hostels, so many foreigners and travellers and everyone is friendly and it's dirt cheap. I mean shared accom is costing my sister and myself R38 per night, incl coffee and toast in the morning. We've heard that the prices on Phi Phi are very expensive, so we aren't looking forward to that, but we are happily going to stay there close to the beach and not really shop. So I'm hoping it will be fine. Planning to do a tour as well around the Islands and maybe even thinking of leasing a boat if possible and doing the "tour" ourselves. Not sure if we are allowed to though. So I'll leave this bad grammer for you people to read until my next post... I also allowed comments btw.

You seem to be having fun, are we going to get any photos before you get back? it would be pretty cool to see the stuff you're writing about.
ReplyDeleteOther posts have been cool to read, seems like Thailand is worth a visit one day, My only fear is the sunlight part.
