When I got to the airport yesterday morning in Sydney, I thought I was stressed enough. When i checked my flight to Phuket, I realised it wasn’t going to Phuket at all. I was flying straight into Bangkok. Bloody travel agent. I’ll choose this time to NEVER recommend using ‘Student Flights’ on Oxford St Darlo. They didn’t tell me what visas I might need and then booked me on the wrong flight. I ended up having to call them and find a connecting flight to Phuket from Bangkok. But having said that, the extra stress seemed to de-stress me.
Finally made it to Phuket but the buses had finished by the time I got there so taxi was pretty much my only option. Didn’t have much luck bargaining with cabbys though. Cost me 500 baht (about $20) to get here and I couldn’t talk them down. I spent about 30 mins asking around and that was the cheapest I could get. The cabby was nice though. His name was really long and complicated but he gave me his card and told me to call him Jimmy.
Hostel was pretty much what I expected. Pretty minimal. I got a double for 2 nights with a fan!! That’s about it. Oh but no bog paper which I realised at 4 in the morning when I had to go. Just a convenient hose leaving you a little wet but a little cooler at the same time \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
