Brit, I have heard that the rooms are quite nice. The restaurant (Karon Cafe) is great with excellent breakfasts. It is located close to the circle in Karon about 10 minutes walk from the beach. The soi that it is located in is rather vibrant so if your friends prefer something quieter than they should consider looking elsewhere.

There are so many options readily available in August so perhaps it would be better for them to rather book on arrival. At least this way they can see what they prefer.

Hope this helps.

Belated Happy Birthday Spring Chicken!

Had a great evening! Nice to meet you folks. Many many thanks to TV, George and Crew and to Buckwheat for the delish ribs and food.

Kawpkhun mak kaa!!

Just a quick Hi to everyone in Phuket..

The Duck is firmly installed in farangland here in West OZ at Bunbury

Working and having a ball..Been trying to catch up with Terry57 in Freo but alas we missed each other last week I got a call back to the South..

Having trouble adjusting to the Cold weather and the Crazy Aussie Rules Footy, pity they cant put something else on TV to look at..

Hope to be back on Hols next year..LBD..

Nice to hear that you are settled ozfarangland LBD.

Good luck with the future!

Give me a couple of days and I will either PM you or phone. Good idea!

Update:

As of this morning - nope the cruise will definitely not be running due to our group of 4 being the only people booked. We were hoping that they would do some last minute special offer promo work at the Dive Expo's in BKK last week.

Som namnaa!!!

Yup will definitely be coming but please add + 1 for me. See you all there!

Not qute sure what you need it for. But if you want to roll up a poster try a couple of the inner toiler roll tubes.

Hope this helps.

Sounds great - Pencil us in (2 pax). Will confirm later as we might be away then.

Welcome to TV Wills

If you want to connect with some keen surfers contact the guys at Da's Surf. The business is located opposite The Boathouse in Kata. Da is presently rebuilding his shop since it got burnt down from a fire. Nevertheless he has temporarily moved his business into 1 of his bungalows on the hill. You can see the sign and boards from the street. Nice bunch of guys!

Happy Birthday Spring Chicken!

Can't you get some of your guests to join you?

Nice thought Steven - but honestly - this is meant to be our first holiday in 10 years. Even we need a break.

Dont want to mention the boat as it is a Phuket based operation and we are still awaiting their reply from management who happens to be an old colleague of ours. But then it is Songkran now so I guess we will hear from them in about a weeks time. In the meantime we will have to jai yen yen.

The pizzas at Salvatoris and M and M are good, but still prefer the pizzas at Alla Capaninas in Kata. Just dont order a large one as it comes with a separate table!

Would love to come but will be away for my first annual holiday in years. Nevermind next time for sure.

Ignore these people! Concentrate on enjoying your life together. Don't let this stop you both from doing what you want to do or going where you want to go.

Have fun!

Am sooo peeeed off! A couple of months ago we booked a Liveaboard cruise to Layang Layang early next month. Yesterday, with less than a month's notice, the operator sent us an email telling us it is cancelled as our booking for 4 people is the only 1 and they need minimum 10 people for the trip to go. No where during our negotiations did they inform us that 10 people were needed for the trip to run.

Nice one since we have our flights and accommodation en route booked and paid for already. As far as we are concerned they should reimburse us for these costs. What do you guys think?

thats very trusting of them............

what boat are you going with?

It is indeed Smarty ... but then again I am a very trustyworthy fellow and If I flood it I will replace it no worries !

We will be on SY Sampai Jumpa leaving from Phuket on the 10th ... will be diving around Phuket, Koh Phi Phi and down to Hin Muang and Hin Daeng and then its up to the Similans and Surins to return back to Phuket on the 19th.

I've been on this boat before a couple of years ago just to the Similans and Surins for a week which was spectacular.

It's going to be cracker of a trip !

Hello Chantal

Uggh David you are making me jealous!

Would be nice to have a trip report, especially about Hin Daeng/Hin Muang.

Have a good trip JD. See you when you get back.

I can't figure out why people want him to pay for repairs to his bike.

HE wasn't riding the bike at the time. Just as well he wasn't sitting on it - could have been killed!

SHE was drunk - lucky she didn't kill anybody (alcohol & driving don't mix).

I wouldn't accept anything less than an apology and full payment as SHE needs a lesson in manners.

Peter

Seconded!

Happy Birthday Spring Chicken!

So long LBD and all the best! Keep in contact and let us know how you are doing.

Nice one and glad you are safe and sound Wolfie!

Only a pleasure Seer

Glad you could make contact with your mate.

Cheers!

Oh Moskito

I'm so sorry about the lttle one. Really hope that you find Dodo soon! One of my dogs was poisoned a couple of years ago and I will never forget it
