Patong

Sawatdee Ka!

After spending two nights in Phuket town, we realized there wasn't much more we wanted to do there. Plus, we weren't successful with the job search. We woke up around 6am this morning, had a last tour of the city and market before checking out and jumping on a local bus. We are now in Patong, which is very touristic and loud, but our first view of the coast was very exciting. The beach is surrounded by mountains and the view is spectacular. It is the monsoon season (rainy season) and it has rained a lot, especially today, but the view of the beach itself - clouds or not, makes us very happy!

We are resting in our great hotel (Tiger Inn), slightly cheaper than the previous one (and so much nicer!!) and getting mentally ready for the night ahead. The nightlife here should be crazy, a lot of go-go girls and flashy bars. I don't know how long we will be entertained, but seeing it for the first time promises a lot!

We are taking the weekend off : apart from sending some emails, updating our profiles on job search engine and checking the Phuket Gazette for vacancies, we will get our bearings, relax and start job searching again on Monday!

Laana ka!
