Hey Fella's,
Just got back from Patong Beach 5 days ago, and found it to be heaven on earth!!!! Exactly like all board members have described and more.
This was my first holiday in 3 years, I went with my girlfriend of (5 years now), and I can honestly say that it is the best place I have ever travelled to. I stayed at the Holiday Inn Busakorn Wing which is just beautiful, awesome pool bar and great staff.
My GF and I did the usual touristy things like speed boat to Phi Phi (the water was rough a guts getting there), elephant trekking (thought I was going to die, cause the elephant went troppo in search for food) and Phuket Fantasea.
"Eric_the_Viking" recommended me "Vic's Place" for breakfast which was just superd value and quality, thanks mate. I also loved eating from the street stalls, even though my GF thought I was mad.
My GF and I and another couple from our Hotel went on a rampage down Bangla Rd one night, caught up Nicke at MTB, thanks for making us feel welcome and the free shot for all of us was great! We did the Ping-Pong Ball sex show, Kangaroo Bar (chicks working there are so hot). And the rest of the night was blur, cant really remember getting back to my hotel.
Anyway enough from me, thanks to all BM's for your info before I went, and when I go back I hope to meet up with some off you, hopefully with the lad's not the GF.
Cheers,
PS. I have video (avi) off MTB and Bangla Rd, but I cant host them anywhere, if anyone would like to see them you can pm me, and I'll email them to ya.
