Exclamation More Questions !!

Well, my mum got her friend, who used to live in Thailand since he was born (not thai) with his boyfriend (gay partners) to organise most the holiday. Here is what he came up with so far, stay at the Sheraton Laguna resort for 4 nights, then go to bangkok, and stay at the sofitel silom for 3 nights, then go to "Evason Hua Hin" WHICH I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF, after looking it up it is like a health spa kind of place on the east coast of the Thai bay. My question is do you guys have any tips, the thing is i stayed with my mate at the sheraton laguna when i was 12, so i cant really remember it, but it was ok i think, pretty far from everything though
So tips and advice as to the accomodation etc, btw for all accomodation i got my own room, but since i doubt these hotels are guest friendly i wont be using it for that purpose :p

Kill your mum's Thai friend, and organise everything yourself. Sounds totally boring. If you stay at Laguna, then you'll have a bloody long trip to/from Patong, in Bangkok your not far from Patpong.

Thats the thing, my mums friend organised it like this since my mum loves to be pampered and spa's and sh!t. Now i need to decide whether i stay on my own in town somewhere and let them stay there, or i stay with them :/ Im not worried about Bangkok since my thai mate lives there, but Phuket i want to enjoy. So, what are some really nice places in patong that are really safe, and i could enjoy myself, keep in mind i havn't done anything like this before Im guessing in Evason, im going to be just relaxing and having spa's all day unless i meet a nice farang chick (i wish) to keep each other company while the parents go pamper themselves Also since its in January it will be really busy, and me on my own even though i feel i could protect myself is still a bit iffy

Ditch the folks..

Patong has loads of places and being seperated from them will give you total anonymous freedom.. Definately reccomend it..

If your mom likes to be pampered I would have chosen the Banyan Tree at Laguna. Options for your mom are there at patong as well with spa. But indeed the Spa at Banyan Tree is nice. Though even at Crown Plaza Karon you will find a great spa, great villa's and closer to patong. And your mom is still pampered. But like I said, even in Patong there are enough options

Just go to MTB, and the rest will solve itself. There are always someone you can go and explore the nightlife with.
Dont worry, just bring your **** down there, and you will be taken care of...

Rizza, I know it seems daunting to be somewhere on your own but just book a nice local hotel/guesthouse like the Yorkshire Inn, The Orchid Residence, C& N Hotel all guest friendly nicely located as easy walking distance from Bangla Road etc. Call in at MTB and introduce yourself, the guys there will make you feel immediately at ease and it will give you a base knowing where you can always meet friendly company, they will be happy to show you around or just tag along and as for later on you will never be without the option of female company for the evening, whether it be dancing etc in Tai Pan, Baya or Safari or going out eating drinking etc, the girls will show you around. My son found each evening he was with a group of Bg's/TG's etc and went to what ever nightclub they were going. After one night you will have more friends than you can imagine and will be totally confident to get around.
It might be first time youv'e gone on holiday on your own but I bet it will not be the last.

safari beach hotel

Nice hotel with a nice pool, 30 sec walk to Bangla and about same distance to the beach, don't know what price they'll want but july they had lowered their price from previous years so might not be too bad..also remember to specify that no joiner charge should be added.
Never had any problem in that department myself and always been treated very well, so has the girls..

You wouldnt go far wrong with Patong Villa either.

print any emails you send and the replies re.guest friendly. Some people have been asked to pay and their policy is to allow guests without charge.

Theres nothing to decide, just do it. Dont worry about a pool, just stay at C&N, as you will probably met other BM's there.

watch out, if Ally takes you around your parents might never see you again for the rest of the whole trip as you will be going to sleep about the time that they wake up and waking up to go out about the time thay are going to sleep.

I have seen the pictures. I have read the threads. The truth will set you free. I am not sure many people can keep up with you Ally so just giving him fair warning. Don't want him to end up under house arrest after first night with you.

Yer, but i will be like that everywhere except evason. I looked this place up and it is actually like a health spa resort in the middle of no where. As in not much night life at all, thats where i got the farang chick idea, might have to knock up another tourist
