Looks like may have solved the problem - and yes one of the kids needs to be taken by motorbike becuase the traffic is too bad in Phuket City where his school is for a car.
Believe have nanny sorted - in fact have a possible spare if anyone needs one.
Despite the relative small size of Phuket (City) - hard to imagine how pissed town planners must have been when they set out road layout - one-way systems. Still problem with traffic is the school run in Phuket is just like anywhere else - Thai parents are just as keen on taking/picking up their little darlings as us farangs.
