A week in Phuket
BKK-HKT-BKK
AIR ASIA
737-300
This is the first time I was scared to board an aircraft. I only paid $75 so I did not expect much. The 737 was very old, paint peeling off and the interion was even worse. A guy, maybe an ingenering was fixing the front wheel. We left 30 minutes late and in no time we were in Phuket. A good thing the 2 FAs were very nice. It is only a short flight 1 hour and I slept half of it. The starngest thing, still now I do not know if ot was dream or a real announcement, but I remember somebody said: We are proud to fly on this saircraft because this was on Charles Linderbergh shortlist to fly to Paris; He chose the Spirit of St Louis as it was nore confy"The flight back was on a newer 737, uneventful. The only problem we left 2 hours late due to a huge storm in Phuket that morning. Air Asia is a cheap way to get to your destination unless you fly on that plane, scary.
PHUKET-PATONG
The bad thing once you arrive to Phuket the flight from BKK takes less than from the airport to your hotel in Patong. The hotel was nice, nothing fancy, $50 including breakfast. I wanted to stay at the Sheraton Laguna but I decided to be in the centre of the nightlife. I had a very good time, the lowlight or highlight I do not know: 3 girls eating huge roaches and they convenced a coupleof Western guys to try them and a ladyboy kissing a(DRUNK LIKE A MONSTER) GUY. I had a huge lobster for 1500 bath.
