mrsbaggins Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Hi, possibly not the best title ever but couldnt think what to put! Can anyone help me with suggestions please? I am going to Phuket in a few months and will be there for about 12 months with my husband. He will be working and i will have lots of time on my hands and want to occupy myself but dont know what type of things there will for me to do. I am not a great drinker and dont want to spend all my time in the bars anyway! The things I do like are fairly solitary which wont help me get to know people ( playing on the computer and reading) - God it makes me sound just so boring. I am in my 40,s and hopefully wil be able to get transport to help me get around as we will be based in the Patong area. I like going to the gym and i know there are a few locally but apart from that I'm stuck so any suggestions would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsbaggins Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 whoops!!! forgot to say that I already dive so thats one thing I can do! but as much as i would love to i couldnt dive forever or I would be even more wrinkly than I am at the moment Yes, I would love to learn thai so thats another box ticked - I would also love to have a go at windsurfing too - although my sense of balance isnt that great.Thanks for all the replies though. Its given me lots to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khall64au Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Have you thought about volunteer activities to help underpriveleged locals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Or volunteer with the local Dog Rescue Center if people turn you off? I can totally relate, if we didn't have our business I would be bored to tears after about a month or so Anyway, gardening is a fun hobby to get into here if you will have your own garden.
