Friday Off to Phuket

We had a nice breakfast, checked out and spent some time relaxing on the beach at the hotel until 1PM. That's when the longtail boat pcked us up and took us to the main pier for the ferry. We boarded the ferry and bid fairwell to Phi Phi Island. A beautiful day for a boat ride back to Koh Phuket.

We go off the ferry and into our van and off to the Royal Palm Hotel on Patong beach. We checked in and went up to our room (no elevators in the hotel). Our view is of a a wall about 18 inches away ;-). Oh well..... We checked into the price of a suite with a beach view, but it's an extra $100/night, so we are staying put. It's only for 3 days anyways. We did a bit of shopping and ran into the greatest salesman ever. He is a hoot. We got some reasonable deals from him on golf shirts and shorts but he was a real laugh to talk to. A real character. Had supper at the S&G restaraunt. Great Thai food and cheap. Did a bit more looking around and then to bed.
