Im actually going with family so that would be a no for both!

Looking forward to Tiger Temple and some snake shows though.

Me and the missus went there years ago. Food was fantastic. Took a tuk-tuk across the island (beware - they stop at every shop and store along the way, 'cos the shopowners give the drivers stamps, which they redeem against petrol) into Phuket Town and went across to the Phi Phi islands. Went snorkelling there - feckin' fantastic. You can feed the fish from your hands and they swarm all over you. Unbelievable experience.
The people are mad 'cos they smile the whole time, even when they're haggling over a rip-off designer suit that costs less than 1/5th the price back home.
Enjoy it - it's a great place. Go do all the tourist spots - the temples are unbelievable.

Yeah I hear it's nicknam is 'land of the smiles'. How much did the snorkelling cost cost?

Jesus mate, it was years ago.... can't remember how much, but not a lot. Pennies really....Nothing is expensive over there....Food is dirt cheap, so is beer. Though my next trip out there might be a bit cheaper on that front seeing as I don't do it anymore...

I went last year year with the misses and I've been before to Koh PhangYang (sp) the first time I experienced the women no lady boys though as far as I could tell

Phuket is nice, we stayed at Kataya (sp) beach, the next one up from Patong. The food is delicious the people are friendly, but they can pi.ss you off especially when it comes to haggling. It's hard just to walk down the street and have a gander about without the b.loody Indians trying to sell you a suit. Make out you're Danish or something and start faking a weird language (just make it up) then they may not bother you.

We went to Phi phi don for a couple of nights, you should go there a boat ride a way, it's picture-esk and you can swim around those blue lagoons that are towered by rock formations sticking out the sea. I think James Bond (man with Golden gun) and 'The beach' were filmed there.

If you want a tattoo get one there to, the first time I went I got one and paid 20 quid for it, I would of paid something like a 100 pounds had I got it done in England. The second time I got one done there the price went up a bit, but those Thai fellas I reckon have a talent when it comes to tattooing.

Tip: We'd often take a tuk tuk to the local side of town, where there aren't as many tourists behind Patong. Eat there, the food is authentic as and much cheaper than the beach front resturants, I think I paid a pound for a chicken and fried rice dish, it was fecking lovely.
