4 days to go - only now am I starting to get excited...the reality of departure, transit and then arrival is starting to set in. Thanks to Boatboy for the following (
MapJack (Beta) - Your City Online) for my first proper look at Bangla...somewhat intimidating for the first timer but I think we'll manage.
My only fear is I won't get to see everything, as we're only there Saturday afternoon - Thursday afternon but I suppose that's a good excuse to come back, and I know already I will be back as there's obviously more to see than just Patong.
Still, there's some daunting decisions to be made: which bar to have the first beer at (555 MTB would be a good answer?), what sights & sounds to check out in the short time we're there, where to hunt for the perfect bedfriend etc etc I'm sure all will work out fine.
I do have a couple of questions - where do the younger farangs hang out? My mate and I are both 25 and keen for at least one night to chase some foreign (free) skirt while we're there - other nights I suppose will be spent trawling various soi bars and the clubs for hotties. We don't want to spend the majority of time with our own kind though (given the reputation of a lot of Australians who visit Phuket) and prefer the company of like-minded persons and locals.
Also, can you hire larger capacity roadbikes by the day? If the roads are ok I'd like to do an island circumnavigation on a larger cc motorbike (will consider bringing gloves & kevlar jeans if yes).
Thanks and see you soon!
