The Simple Life
Please note there's a 2nd entry for Koh Phi Phi. Don't read any further if you haven't already looked at that one.
After yet another boat and bus trip we arrived in Phuket. Much to our annoyance we waited over an hour in the reception of our guest house to get into our room and then discovered it had no TV. Grabbed some lunch and went for a wander. Phuket is not for the discerning traveller. Think the Benidorm of Asia. Promenade lined with shops, bars restaurants, hotels and bright lights. However, it was not the karaoke bars and fun pubs of Benidorm we discovered that evening! Welcome to the sleaziest city EVER. Streets lined with prostitutes, ugly fat old british and american men, music pumping and the fabulous ladyboys. The 2 of us nearly tripped over our chins all night amazed at what we were seeing. The ladyboys had on a special show there was ballgowns, glitter, tiaras, feathers, make-up and silicone galore. We luv'd it! Check out our photos. The fag hags were in their element......
Moved to another guest-house today and this place is like the Hilton compared to the sweat box of Phi Phi. We have air-con, TV, proper bathroom, sheets and soft towels. Yippee! The sun in Phuket is vicious. We spent the day frying ourselves on the beach. Too many older men with very small, tight trunks for our liking! Its fair to say our tans are coming along nicely - how about yours as you huddle around the glow of the gasfire?!?!
It's almost 8:30pm here we're going for a mexican meal then planning a fairly quiet evening and some more bronzing tomorrow.
One more day in Phuket then we head to Koh Phagnan for Xmas.
