Thailand part 1

Jordans 21st 036

Hi All, first update from thailand, it all started yesterday morning in auckland at 130am, we were picked up and taken to airport.  flight from auckalnd to brunei was long but went faster than expected, was disapointing that there was no inflight entertainment system on this flight, but it did start working towards the end, mione jammed so i had to sleep as quinn watched movies.

Got to brunei and this was just on stop over didnt leave the airport here, carried on through to bangkok and what a massive bit of dcity that place is, the airport was pretty amazing as we managed to get through customs unharmed and coordinate ourselves for the flight to phuket..our bags werer transfered through to phuket so we put trust in the airport people to get them there.  By the stage that we landed in phuket we had pretty much been gonig 24 hours with a few sporadic moments of sleep inbetween

Into phuket we were picked up at the airport by our accomodation and whisked into patong beach, this was possibly the most craziest car ride we have ever had, with cars, scooters etc going in all direction. Brand new hiluxs everywher with about 15 people on the back....once into accom we walked down the street to find some sort of western food and water before heading back to bed for som deservant sleep.  We paid $5nz each for dinner whcih was a pizza and a few beers, everything is ridiculously cheap and easy to get here,

Today we got up early and wandered down the road to get a view of the beach in the day light and find a few places, im currently sitting here typing while quinn is having a beer in the bar accorss the road, local time is 9:20am in the morning, plan for today is book our bus to the islands to see the boys and then possibly hit the beach before going out for a sniff tonight, along the way we will haggle and barter with people to try and pick up some cheap goods, suits look like the go today.

better be off, not much time left, will update in the next few days.
