Phuket- 1 night only

---

Travelled most of the day on the 5th January by bus- boat-bus to Phuket. Mark and Dan detested the place but we wanted to check it out for ourselves, and it was a suitable stop off on our way back down south. Stayed 25 minutes outside the main Phuket strip, but headed there in the evening, again very similar to Ko Samui, except more seedy bars, and the biggest ladyboy collection I've seen. We had quite a good night there, had a good laugh with a couple of aussie girls, plus it was FA Cup night so spent most of the night glued to the TV screen. Villa losing to United brought the night to an abrupt end, went home in a sulk.

Didn't get te check Phuket out during the da but looked very commercial and I'm sure there are better beaches to be had in other parts of Thailand.
