Today we woke up around ten o'clock, I was a little sick from the night before. We hired a tuk tuk, ( taxi truck with benches in the covered bed, to take us to the Ko Phangnan marina. Our ferry took three hours to get to the Surat Thani marina.
The operation was a little shady and we somehow ended up in a travel agency/restaurant/ internet cafe in the middle of the city. Fortunately the Thai people are on top of their stuff and we had a private minibus as soon as we finished our late lunch.
The bus ride from Surat Thani to Phuket took about four and a half hours. When we got to our hotel at Karon Beach we were disappointed to find out that they had no power. Reluctantly, we picked up our luggage and followed a bellman to an adjacent resort.
Once Jeff and I got settled in we took a taxi to Patong Beach, ( "The City on the Sea), to meet up with our friend Sam. We anxiously waited for Sam at a bar called the Tiger Club. The Tiger Club was less of a bar than it was a drunken outdoor fiasco consisting of multiple pubs. We were happy to see Sam and had quite the interesting night once we had him in our company, (i.e. The Dragon Club).
Traveled from Kp Phangnan to Phuket to meet up with Sam...(to be completed).
