25/04

So Ruth went into the specialist to get her arm looked at and walked out with a half cast, she hurt it a couple nights before and had been to the hospital for X-rays. Hospital had said it was dislocated but specialist showed us the fracture (which was quite obvious on x-ray).

We met Louie, who was the english guy staying in our dorm room at the hostel.

I went out to our favourite bar where Kathy works, one of the best english speakers we have met and all the staff there are great. At 12 they closed and Kathy was leaving and asked if myself and 2 American guys wanted to go back to her aunties place, it was her aunties husbands birthday and they were having a bbq. So we all went back there and ate sooooo much food and drank beer and scotch, was a very random night but great fun.

We went on a day tour with Louie to 3 islands, one being Phi Phi. The first island was nice, very small and we did some snorkelling and drank some beer. The second island was just a fishing village basically and we stopped for lunch and saw some 4-5 year olds do some dancing.

From here we went to Maya Bay, where the beach was filmed and we snorkelled some more, there was so many fish it was unreal. Then on to Phi Phi where we had a beer and looked around some of the market stalls etc before heading back to Phuket on the boat.

That night we all went to Kathys bar for dinner and some cocktails and then we headed down Bangla rd to check out some other bars and clubs. Ruth went back to the hostel early and Louie and i went to another couple of bars. Just walking down Bangla rd you have so many people trying to get you into their bar that you can end up with fairly cheap drinks which is good. Ruth and i had to leave at 9am the next day so i left Louie in the company of one of the "locals" and headed back to the hostel.
