hi im traveling to Phuket (Patong) flying from MAN(uk) for 19 nights in Nov/Dec its the 1st time i've traveled so far and not sure about checking in luggage.Does luggage get checked in through to final destination or do i collect it at the connection at Kuala lumpur and check it in again?Going there my connecting flight is 1.45hrs waiting time but going home i have to wait

13hrs.
Also i sent my Blue Ocean Resort a email asking about joiner fee and they said 500bht only in high season, so when does high season start?
Finally anyone know how far(walking mins) Soi Kebsap is to Bangla Rd.
thanks
