Just booked my flight BKK-HKT for 23 December, departing 29 December - hoping to be clear of Patong before Dirty Mike arrives and all the BGs start walking funny.
Had a dreadful tour in off-season Patong, hoping to fare better this time. I suppose the draw of the tsunami anniversary and perhaps my tsunami girl will be around for a reunion...
Anyway, hunting around for accommodation at the moment.
Also spending the first week in BKK (16-23) and last week+ in Patty (29-09).
Update: Got into the Expat

- v. prompt email responses within Thai working hours. Now... Bangkok and Pattaya hotels...
Cheers,
K.
