Phuket

The lads booked all our travel for the rest of the month one morning in Bangkok, while I was sleeping, so I havent a clue about where we're going for te next month. I'm sure I'll pick it up on the way...

In Phuket now. We took a 14 hour bus journey to get here.

Right, so the plan was for the travel reps to meet us at the hotel at half 5. We got there at 5, just in case! Eventually, they turned up at 6, brought us literally 100metres around the corner to the bus station, which we were unaware of, to wait another hour, maybe 2 for our magical "VIP" bus to Phuket. So, after waiting over 2 hours, we then we had an 11 hour bus journey through the night, with very little hope of getting any sleep, only to be dropped off in some shitehole of a restaurant at the side of a road, to wait for another hour for a minibus to take us to a tourist office......so we could wait another 2 hours for another foookin bus, which would take us to an hour away from where we're goin, so we'd have to get 2 taxis (6 of us) to the hotel...out of our own pocket!! We didnt agree to this! I feel like we're being taken advantage of so they can get more money out of us! I don't like being in the middle of Thailand somewhere, with our fate in the hands of these people. We tried talking to them in the tourist office about the situation. We told them we were not happy and this is not what we signed up for! So, the lady in the office informs us that she can get a driver to drive us all the way to our hotel in Phuket....for 600baht each. Pain in the sack that we have to pay extra. I dont see what the point in booking these things, payin for them, then bein told we've to pay more!! Bangkok is a kip! Thank god Phuket seems 234234% nicer so far...but will that last....?

also, im constantly hungry!! just had spag bol and chips and now im super starvin again!! like i had them maybe 20 mins ago!! wats goin on!!
