Phuket
Well, I was NOT expecting that. We thought Bangkok was mad but it is not a patch on Patong in Phuket.
Arrived early evening. After lugging our rucksacks around we found ourselves a hotel. It was expensive but we were all a bit irritable and wanted our house off our backs. It was so worth it though as it was big, cool & beautiful (not what we are used to in South east Asia).
we had a lazy beach day the following day. We even got a sun lounger(wow) Phukets beach was ok, very similar to a Spain holiday resort beach with jet-ski'sand banana boats. Phuket is a very dirty and putrid smelling place but the breeze and the weather was incredible and we even had someone sweeping the sand from our loungers. Later that night we got a bit dressed up and went out on the razz! We played Connect 4 with a prostitute in a brothel bar. We think she had a soft spot for me (Oi Oi). Shell still wasn't feeling 100% so we walked her home and me and Sarah went back out. We walked down the main strip and sat in a bar. It's hard to explain what this place was like. A really, really long strip of different bars that were all outside, with prostitutes and lady boys dancing on the tables. it was like a festival of w****s. Me and Sarah had our mouths wide open most of the night trying to figure out which were real ladies and which were men. The give away was usually the hands or the Adams Apple. Honestly, I feel sorry for western men as it really is hard to tell and Some of them are absolutely beautiful... Some of them however, not so beautiful. We had a 'lady' come up to us who got her boobs out and pretty much shoved them in our faces. I had my camera out and she said 'photo?' so I snapped away at Sarah and boob lady and she did the same for me. Next minute the 'lady' wanted 100Baht each for the photos taken on MY camera. We said NO and then she started screaming some curse and saying that we were going to hell. Me and Sarah just nodded politely (and sarcastically) saying yes of course we are going to hell. Surely she has committed a ridiculous amount of sins? A pimp man eventually got her away from us and me and Sarah were laughing, dying to see the pictures but not brave enough to look just yet... The photos are CLASSIC.
Next minute we were sat minding our own business and a man came along with a huge Iguana/Dragon and popped it straight on Sarahs shoulder. Sarah just stared straight at me calmly saying 'I'm scared Clara' 'get it off me, get it off me' with me just staring back in shock. he too wanted money for a photo but we had learnt our lesson by then. Sarah however hadn't learnt her lesson as a few minutes later another dragon and his owner come along and she actually asked for it on her shoulder. I think it was a love/hate relationship.
When we got home I went out on the balcony for some 'fresh air' to find a Ugly Naked Man completely starkers sleeping in the room opposite. Photo evidence attached for anyone interested?? Or not.

Carmel(Clara's Mum) I guess this is the side of Thailand we all have heard about. UK chaps going out there to look for a wife could get more than they bargained for. Don't like the sound of Phuket much.........so much exploitation. My guess is that the people are poor and have to pimp themselves in order to survive. Yes, that naked man, an ugly view of his Phukets!! He he. Sarah, one word for you.........BRAVE. XXX
joe golden what a beautiful lady, so nice i almost vomited. miss you
