Bangkock airport must have one of the biggest terminals in the world and managed to cover most of it when trying to achieve our connection. Once we had done so the next 2 hours was spend with Thai airlines, this was a much older plane, less technology and yet seemingly more comfortable – this may have been the result of not being hemmed in by strangers . More fitful sleeps interpreted by snack boxes ensued.
Upon arriving in Phuket we almost fell over in disbelief when our baggage was ready before we were. This just goes to show that the smaller the airport, the better it is. Our prearranged limo was waiting to spirit us to our lodgings. Back home this “Limousine” would be called a “Holden” or a “Magna” Whilst the car itself lacked in prestige badges, number of seats, mini bars and a Jacuzzi (we wouldn’t have minded) and thus proving itself worthy as advertised – the driver certainly made up for it by flashing anyone that appeared that they might get too close to him or was in front of him. Curiously, this sometimes worked. It would’ve worked a whole better if the windows were tinted; people don’t seem to mind giving way to VIPs’. They do seem to mind getting out the way of scruffy, tired looking Tourists whose only claim to fame is that they’d just spent 26 hours being abused by the airline system.
Arriving safety, the room is nice (no views and girls think the wall paper is a bit toddlerish) it should do nicely over the next four 4 days. We had a look at the beach, the street, the bar and then had swim in the posh pool. Dinner was great (a Thai banquet in the hotel) and the weather is really oppressively muggy. We should be able to cope quiet well when considering what we’ll be experiencing in a week’s time.
