Hi to all the BM's
I just returned from my first high season trip to the LOS and thought I would share my experiences and thoughts. My trip started with a 13 hour delay leaving Oz due to mechanical problems with the plane (AirAsiaX) which hadn't even left KL. The airline in their wisdom only informed passengers of the delay when they arrived at the airport expecting to board in the next couple of hours. After getting up at 4.30 am this was not a great start to my short trip when every hour lost was an hour not spent in the LOS. Finally arrived and as you have all experienced, the feeling of walking out into the sunshine of Phuket has that certain buzz that is feed by your expectations of the experiences your mind and body will share in the not to distant future. As promised by Gary from Lawan my transport(Limo/Taxi - 500 Baht) to Patong was waitng and within a few minutes of hitting my room for a refreashing shower I hit the streets in search of my favourite 2 massage girls as I had a severe need for a long 2 hour oil massage after my trip. I found one of them around the corner and off to my room we went and as Bob Dylan said " She stole my voice and left me howling at the Moon."
Relaxed,refreshed and focused I walked out into the darkness of my first night in high season and headed for the delights of Bangla road. My first impression of bangla and the bars was it wasn't as crowed as I thought it would be especially as you headed into the Soi's towards MTB or any of the other bars I wanted to vist which is important as I nearly didnt come to Patong at this time because I don't enjoy huge crowds and I thought low season was more for me. So dont be put off by the sound of high season
( no seats in bars and too much competition for Girls ) in fact in Suzy Wongs at 10-45pm I was the only customer in the place and dancing with 3 semi - naked BG's with a Jakie Daniels in one hand and a firm buttock in the other is just what this stressed out newbie needed. Then came my first experience with a FL..........
