I flew down to Phuket after a brief stop in Bangkok on Thursday morning. My brother Joe and his girlfriend met me at arrivals and we went back to their rented bungalow where I’m taking advantage of the spare bedroom. The last few days have been spent chilling on the beach by day and necking back the Chang’s by night. At about 6.5% those bad boys pack a punch.
Yesterday we went on a bit of a road trip, eight of us on four bikes took the coastal road to Leam Singh beach where they have a funky house party at one of the beach bars every Sunday afternoon. So cracking beats followed a bit of a snorkelling session out near the rocks where some pretty big and bright fish were knocking about. We left just before sunset as there is a cliff you have to climb to get off the beach which is apparently pretty difficult to negotiate in the dark. I’m enjoying being back on a bike again, I’ve got a 125cc Honda getting me between the bungalow, the 7-11, the two beaches in the area and The Beach Club, the bar my brother is managing. It’s looking pretty sharp and they have satellite/huge TV, a pool table and decent sound system so it’s a winner in my book.
I’ve decided the two or so weeks I’m spending here is like my ‘holiday’ before I get back to the proper travelling. I’m stepping down a gear but it’s only temporary and who can blame me? There’s some more pictures on the right, if you click though you can navigate all the one’s I’ve uploaded so far. Bye for now!
