hey all,

I'm off to the LOS (phuket) on wednesday for a couple of weeks with my partner and a couple who are to wed. and i would like some advice please. it gonna be a relaxing holiday without all the bars and girls. you know...romantic.

ive spent hours reading through this forum, but my head is spinning now so i though i would just ask.

sorry if all this has been answered before.

1, we have rented a 2 bed villa at the outrigger laguna resort. Anyone know it or stayed their. is it nice?

2, where is the best place to rent a motorbike? prob gonna just get a 125 but i may wanta 600 (CBR, GSXR etc..)

what are the rough prices for day hire. are they insured. is it woth bringing my lid if im only gonna rent for a few days or will they have some?

3, is their anywhere around where i can swim with dolphins?

4, will £2500/3000 be enough for a couple for 2 weeks? (Not going for the girl and beer remember) a few trips and sightseeing.

5, where is a good place to charter a boat for the day. not looking for a super yacht but something nice. a speedboat would be ok. what are the rough costs.

6, is there anywhere i can do a little muay thai, like a leeson for novices.

7, I have planned to go to phi phi, similan, phang nga. elephant safari. Can you reccomend anywhere else,

8 best place to change my money. im taking cash, is that the best option? i have read that i should use the hotel safes but surely in a good hotel i should be fine...no.

9, any other must do's, see's while im in phuket

oh yeah, is there a market wher i can stock up on food and stuff between the airport and laguna?

sorry it was long....lol
