Well after 5 weeks on Phuket we decided to leave our lil bungalow and head over to the other side of the lower gulf. On Thursday after 11 long hours of coach and ferry we landed in a heap in Phuket and checked into our first hostel of our travels in the capital Phuket town. Yes Phuket town is slightly ghetto with a rife taxi mafia but is a cheap and excellent base to access the rest of the Island. The hostel we're staying in is nice and we've been able to meet an...

It also monsooned the same afternoon and we found our selfs sheltered in a locals market with everything and anything from skinned squirrels to dried jelly fish. After 15mins in the mark...

Not a lot to report at this time. We managed to stumble across another lil hotspot called the sunset bar (a reggae bar) high up on the mountains overlooking Chaweng, it's beautiful. It's cool, laid back n they're very friendly. Yesterday we went and walked the entire length of chaweng seeing the good n bad of what was on offer. Unfortunately I'd left my glasses on scooter n sum1 had pinched them. Also sum1 has made a massive scratch in front of scooter which we'r...
