Yes, I did think about staying in the upmarket places but she's used to that with me anyway - stayed with me in HK in the Mandarin Oriental - she's already smitten
The thing is I just wanna have a good time with her and see how it progresses - and I'm not going to go for the cheaper places 'cos it's my holiday ultimately. If it works out with her fine, if not then at least I've had a good hol.
Thinking of cutting kata thani and staying in patong longer and hiring a car and doing day trips. Is it worth going to Phi Phi in August?
