Alex_xx Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 I think your set and I think you are there now? So this might be a bit late. I loved my hot water bottle and you can get anything you left behind at The Big C in Jungceylon. Ahh there is a top I didnt get a chance to go back and buy at one of the shops :(...I stocked up on slabs of water brought from the 7-11 closest to my hotel. The Senses Resort has the best breakfast! You can get fresh made juice, watermelon & pineapple. Room service food is nice and same with their restaurant.I didnt like Patong and moved to Club Med in Kata for the second week... it was a little better, but Club Med was great. In saying that, theres plenty to do ! Oh if you want to go to the weekend markets or Central Festival ( I thought they were Ok but a few girls really liked them) you can catch a bus from anywhere on the beach road ( just wave it down) and then get off at Central Festival and walk about a km down the road)...Enjoy relaxing, shopping, eating, and relaxing some more !! PIAC try really hard for everything to be easy for you so its good :). Is your boyfriend going to stay at the hospital with you overnight ?

Alex_xx Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Oh haha, sorry I should have looked at your ticker. The shopping good, but lots of repetition on the streets. The street stalls have heaps of dresses,tops, fake handbags, fake nikes, and for guys lots of fake brand name t-shirts,singlet tops, boss wireless speakers, fake nikes for them too. Shopping in Jungceylon & Central is good. There are lots of shops & restaurants on the way to the Beach or mall from Deevana. I didn't like the smell of Patong, the dirty streets, rubbish everywhere and being hassled all the time. A lot of the infrastructure seems really old even though I know a lot has been replaced since the Tsunami. Its easy to get around within Patong but you have to get a taxi or organise a transfer to do touristy things. They dont have a direct public transport route from beach to beach. I think its because there are so many nicer places in Thailand to enjoy the beautiful beaches and reefs but having to stay in Phuket for the PIAC guarantee was annoying but then again it probably is a good thing to encourage us to actually relax and not over do it ! I just wanted to go exploring and day trips to the islands were not enough because I wanted to stay there. Anyway, I had heaps of fun and lots of mocktails. The cocktails are soo cheap and endless !

Emma91 Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Ahhh glad the shoppings good hahah. Yeah i heard it has a bad smell.

Alex_xx Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Everything is pretty close actually, the islands are close to, even if you head up North to Khao Sok National Park to do rafting down the river or staying on the floating cabins Having a driver is the best way as they can give you local knowledge and you get a better experience of everything.Yea, we met up with some friends at Illuzion show & discoteque? which was different but fun & Higher Restaurant which is a nice rooftop restaurant/club where you can eat with views of the city and also watch the dance floor...and a few smaller places but I dont know their names but they were more cocktail bars... also went to a rasta bar on the beach. Oh and we went to a bar in Jungceylon which was nice.. I dunno its name but theres a strip of restaurants and bars there that are nice...

Bettybee Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 One thing I'd suggest is an ice pack, I found it helped with my swelling and pain relief. (Or even make a note to buy some frozen peas there haha) It looks like a good list you've got going, you must be so excited!
