3 days

Wanted to keep track of everything we did in Thailand but my resolve only lasted three days.

Thursday, April 9.

Dale had haircut and packed.

Mum and Dad drive us to airport.

Check-in, customs, duty-free (cameras, booze).

Board at 11:00pm, play with tvs, take off!

Friday, April 10.

Hard to sleep on plane!

Long, long flight.

Brenton beats (a sleep deprived) Dale at trivia.

Arrive Bangkok 5:30am, (8:30am AEST)

Buildings/signs confusing.

Strange smoking rooms.

Dale's bag soaked by exploding Jim Beam bottle.

Dale's bag abandoned, Brenton not impressed.

Ellie constantly hiccuping.

Dale smelling like an alco.

Board Phuket flight 7:00am.

Crazy lady gets her boob out.

Arrive Phuket, Dale buys more Beam.

Transfer to hotel scary, driver got close to things.

No seatbelts, beautiful scenery, poverty.

Arrive Merlin Beach 10:30am.

First impressions, fancy, humid.

Big bug on floor.

Sat down by Thai lady, cold towels to refresh.

Ogled pool, greenery, prospect of sleep.

Dinner on hill restaurant, overlooking beach

Food awesome! (seafood especially)

Retired to rooms and slept deeply.

Saturday, April 11.

Wake at 9:00.

Buffet breakfast from heaven - gorged on everything.

Collected pool towels and swam.

Pool bar - wedges and drinks.

Caught shuttle to Patong, people everywhere.

Dale hugged by nice-smelling Thai massage lady.

Shops!

Different beach restaurant for dinner, waves lapping, peaceful.

Massive swing, Dale tripped over a rope in the dark.

Started a crossword.

Hung out in sports bar.

Read and slept.

Those are the things I chose to write down at the time. It really was my favourite holiday ever! And we did do lots more stuff over the remainder of our time there.

This is more of a "so I don't forget" blog, sorry if it was boring.

Stay tuned for my MC=V theory, up next.

Dale.

Coincidence or a Sign?

The Brand New song  "Welcome to Bangkok" comes on my ipod (which is on shuffle) as our plane starts its descent to Bangkok airport.
