A day of travelling around the island

Today we hired Som Chaoi for a day trip around the island. On our previous visit we only did Patong and Raileigh Beach so this time around we checked out the Phuket town, chalong temple, Big Buddha and fine dining on the beach.


Yes another AGOT, the phrase has been rejigged {another grotty old temple} for yet another trip lol. As you can see we got in the swing of praying, donating and generally getting in the way of monks lol.



We arrived at ken feng pier for lunch and were absolutely blown away by the food service and the overall quality of everything to do with the place. Could happily teach everything in QLD how to run a restaurant including Brissy "fine dining". 



We started off with a stroll through the aquarium section {yes fresh fish, hmmmm Tree could learn that it doesn't naturally come out of a packet} we selected two mandrels which were flash fried with shallots and chili, truly amazing. A groper steamed with chili, garlic, shallots with the most amazing sauce and to accompany a crab fried rice - awesome. Last night it was off to a beach café called phens with tables on the beach and more wonderful food, I might never leave. Today Ron is going to be jumping out of trees on a flying fox with stretches of 400mtrs plus and Bruce and I will be racing around the track - check in tomorrow.

A shame to see your statuesque friend is in a more camp outfit than you.... I thought you were on holiday? Please try harder.

Never have seen such a perfect match of a AGOT and a AGOQ "another grotty old queen. And thanks to the comment from Anonymous, I thought its Ron + DA, one done up and the other as grotty as ever. LOL

If anybody is using this as a tour guide, or trying to follow this on a map, they are in serious trouble! The phonetic spelling of Thai names just doesn't work. You went out with Somchai. You walked along Surin beach. You ate at Kan Eang Pier in Chalong, Sunset is in Cherng Talay. Phens is on Nai Yang beach. The Monkey Temple is up in Phang Nga.
