Trip Report June 24 – July 6
Part 1 of 3 part report.
I feel I should contribute something to this board as it has been so helpful. Maybe this trip report will be of interest to some. This was my third trip to Thailand. Previously, over two trips, I have been to BKK (8 days), Pattaya (10 days). Koh Samet (2 days), Phuket (6 days). This year’s trip was 5 days in Phuket, then 3 days in Chang Mai, then 5 days in Pattaya.
My friend and I flew from Los Angeles non-stop to BKK on Thai airlines; 18 hours, then onto Phuket. We didn’t have flight reservations to Phuket, so just bought them at the counter when we arrived in BKK. From door to door 25 hours….ouch. Two scotches, two ambiens and 4 movies helped the time go by.
We checked into The Expat Hotel, where I have stayed before. I love the pool there and the location is great. I was disappointed this time however as there is significant construction going on. At 7:30 am the power saws start screaming as they cut tile. I bit much, so after three nights we moved to the C&N hotel. The construction project is extensive, so if any BMs are planning on going there, beware.
The first day we arrived around 11 am using the Expat driving service, showered, ate, walked around and made a path to Christen’s. It was early in the afternoon but there were plenty of beauties available. I was not disappointed. Being clean and refreshed, and with the edge off, we chilled at Shipwrecked waiting for MTB to start up around 10 pm.
We met Nicke, Ead, and the charming ladies there. Nicke was a great host throughout our stay in Phuket. Thank you, Nicke. Around midnight my friend mumbled something about being drunk, having a headache and not sleeping for the last 52 hours- what a wimp. After walking him to the Expat, I went hunting for my first night’s companion, without success. I just couldn’t seem to see anything that caught my eye. So back to MTB.
I had noticed her before, of course, but thought she was with someone else. Smaller than petite, a smile that would light up any room, anywhere. She is beyond cute, beyond beautiful, eyes you can fall into. Twenty-seven (I later checked the ID) but looked eighteen. I am withholding her name, but if you are at MTB you will know whom I mean. A few smiles and a wink later she was mine, and off to the Expat. I spent all five days in Phuket with her, and wished it were forever.
During our stay in Phuket we took her and my friend’s companion to FantaSea. I was more fun watching the girls enjoy the show than watching it. We went to James Bond Island – bats, swimming monkeys, and a great lunch on board the boat. One day chilling at the beach. The time seemed to go by so quickly.
Next, part two, Chang Mai.
