Hi lads n lasses.
Not a LOS Newbie, but plan to arrive Phuket 1st time for 4 nights or so after New Year. Rather than post a whole pile of new threads, I thought it might be better to list my cries for help in just the one:
1) Will be travelling with my Thai GF and my 3 teenage, (farang) kids - both genders so I need 3 rooms or 2 bedroom suite where one kid can sleep in lounge area as, whilst not a cheap charlie, neither am I rolling in it. (In LOS for 3 weeks and the flights alone cost over £3,500 + Christmas presents, holiday money etc., etc., + taking TG's family to Pattaya for 3 days over New Year, + funding the wedding of one of TG's sons whilst over.....you get the gist). Any ideas or recommendations, please?
2) Will Patong (and particularly Bangla) be suitable for teenagers who already have a liking for partying and would be bored stiff somewhere like Samui for to long. Both eldest drink in moderation with the eldest boy already a ladykiller and a complete male "tart" and the youngest (15) is lead guitarist in a local band, so used to girl groupies attentions - lol. Dad (that's me) is reasonably laid back with the teens having been a regular LOS visitor for a number of years.
3) Dad needs a gym as I suffer cold turkey if I don't work out for more than two days.
4) Dad also wants a
good tattoo artist to perform a cover-up on a crap UK tattoo obtained a couple of years ago.
5) Dad's also unfortunately a little more cynical than he used to be (having been a faithful husband to mother of teens prior to her legging it wiv his mate and leaving the kids - thankfully, as they're solid gold mixed with diamonds). So dad's hoping Patong has short-time soapie massage parlours or similar where he can obtain some post gym TLC to various muscles and tendons that will doubtless require the tension to be worked out of
Kop Kuhn Krap in advance.
