Going to Hong Kong for a week and a half then off to thailand to sit in the sun for 3 weeks. Anyone here know of good places to see in Phuket and Bangkok?
 
Walk in for some good time (with $50) walk out happy (with $45) and with the itch! Diesel fuel does not help against the itch (buddy states!)...the auger only drills into one hole!!!!
 
Depends on where you stay in Phuket. The last time I was there we stayed at Patong Beach. That is where all the fun is (If your a single guy).;) Just beware of the many He/She's in various stages of change, if you know what I mean.:eek:
Patong Beach is the one of the beaches that got hit hard by the Tsunami a couple of years ago, Its the beach you see on TV when the Tsunami hit. If you see the water go out then run for high ground.

was in thailand in 2004. you looking for nice and pricey or cheap? in bangkok all the backpackers start off on koh san road. cheap guest houses and plenty of nightlife and backpackers from all over the world. great time. just ask a cab to take you there and your options are plenty for places to stay. Also lots of go go bars not to far from there. but beware, also lots of lady boy go go bars! :eek:
a cheap way to get around if you can figure it out is the boat systems. its also pretty fun.

phuket. lots of fun to be had there. just get downtown on the beach and there is block after block of bars, booze, and DRUNK backpackers! from there i belive you can hop a snorkoling boat trip to the island where the movie the beach was filmed. costs extra to get onto the beach but it is a beauitful place.

now, if your REALLY looking for a party hit up the Full moon lunar party in phangan. its an island off the south east of the mainland and it is SICK.

you can get there a couple of ways. the fast boat, which is kinda pricy but only a few hours. or the route i took, the slow boat. all night long trip. not only is it cheap but you get a feeling of what the slave ships must have been like. crouded, about 3 or 4 feet high and sometimes scary chit! but hey, its all part of the experiince.

umm, thats all i can think of right now but if ya want to know more let me konw. ill try and get some pics up soon.
 
You have to go to HAD CHAO PHAO!!! It is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. As the dj's play in the cliff side and the sun is setting low you can get a totaly killer buzz! I mean it is awsome! Some of the nice-est people hang out there and even though the money grubers are there there are still some descent chicks! A lot of fun!
 
Thanks for the link sand2snow.
Iceauger I did Mexico last year and just about married her so heading east this year... I am going with my gf though and yes that is like taking a bagged lunch to a buffet..
 
cat, no worries man. i was single, well am again, when i went and it is a woundreful place to hang. always thought it would be a great place to take a girl. you can chill on a beach in a bungalo for days smoking......um, chilling, or you can party every night. its whatever you you two choose on doing that day. cheap and fun man. i could go on for days about the time i had but i think it really would be just as great or better with someone to share it with. another thing i really enjoyed in phuket besides the snorkoling is the rock climbing. fun time and a great view when your at the top.

beer, food and lodging is cheap as long as you and your girl dig roughing it. everything else is........awsome! pick up one of the tahialnd travel books and it has everything you need to know. things to do and things to stay away from. either way you two will love it.
