Neither of us got much sleep lastnight so the early morning didn't bother us, we were just happy to get outside where it was cooler than our room! Used the same taxi driver again and at 0715 made our way to the Pier. We will also be needing to get a ferry to Ao Nang in a few days so we bought an open ticket that we use to get to Phi Phi today and can use in a few days to get to Ao Nang - it cost 1000 Baht each. We got free tean and coffee and croissant on the ...

Are checking out this morning and leaving Karon Beach to go to Phuket Town so that we are closer the Pier to get the early ferry to Phi Phi Island tomorrow. Day didn't start well as we were both annoyed to see glorious sunshine after days of rain! We packed up our bags and got ready to leave. Nick still wasn't feeling great with a dodgy tum. The guy that had brought us from Patong to Karon Beach, Maew, gave us his card as offered the best price to take us to Ph...

Nick wanted another pair of shorts & we'd seen loads of people all over Thailand selling Billabong ones. When he ...

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain, not a good sign! Our plan was to spend the day on the beach so with hearing the rain we had a lazy morning instead. Skipped breakfast and went straight into lunch downstairs in the bar. We orderd a jumbo tuna bagutette with chips to share - when it arrived, I'm not joking, it was as entire baguette, like you'd buy from Tesco!! We'd thought of getting one each - glad we didn't!! The rain was on and off all day. We loaded all ...

After having brunch we walked down to the beach as it was a much nicer day so thought we could get some good photos of Patong. The beach was full of the holiday makers sunning themselves into lobsters! We went back and checked outand Square One (our hostel)arranged a taxi to Karon Beach for us for 300 Baht. Our hostel, Baan Suay, is another family run place and is again great! Really nice Boho feel about it. The wife is Thai and the husband is Australian. They...
