I wasn't going to write a TR but might as well.
My itinerary is:
1 night BKK.....met up with Dupree, Chob and Nomad. Had a great time......got a bit too drunk and was way hungover the next day.
4 nights in Lamai......hung out with Nels and Dopey. Lamai is dead quiet, one night we went out and Dopey could have his pick if any BG he wanted!
Despite being quiet I still absolutely love the place. We stay in the next beach over from Lamai.....Hua Thanon, it's very local and just real laid back.
1 night Patong/2 nights Kamala.....Phuket airport chaos and the horrible drive to Patong had me questioning why we decided to come back to Phuket for the 1st time in 6 years but once we settled in Patong, we were happy to be back.
We had US Thanksgiving dinner at Summer Breeze and it was fantastic! The spread was varied and top quality and the girls were very attentive for drink orders.
After, Ao and I went down to Bangla. Bangla has changed a ton, so many touts every 2 feet.....mostly young farang.
But we went down to Soi Freedom(old Soi Eric) and it was oretnuxh the same as before. I would have to say there were a lot of pretty girls down that Soi. We sat with Dao who used to waitress at MTB and had a lot of fun chatting.
We are now in Kamala at a Villa we rented. It's a bit showing it's age but still very nice
A nice private pool overlooking Kamala Beach
