We've been anchored in Patong Bay on the West coast of Phuket Island for almost a week now and have enjoyed walking the streets of one of Thailand's most busiest tourist towns. There are more bars and restaurants than we've seen in one place for a very long time and a great place to People watch as tourists line the streets with freshly fried skin and cash to burn! Every inch of the beach is taken up with hundreds of colourful umbrellas and sun loungers with tourists getting Thai Massages as they soak up as much sun as possible in a two week period.
Just across the road from the beach you'll find vender's selling everything from dried squid to copies of DVD's and tailor made suits. At night the real shows begin with 'Lady Boys' lining the streets trying to get customers into the bars... Local Thai guys dress very impressively as Women and with all the right operations it's almost impossible to tell the difference!!
This afternoon we plan to start heading north along Thailand's West Coast to cruise up to the boarder of Burma and the off lying islands for a couple of weeks.
