Chapter 48 - Phuket let's go to Phuket (I thought we had fired this idiot? - ed)

With a spare day to kill before heading to Bangkok our heroes hopped on a boat to Phuket. Whilst on the boat he managed to burn his forearms and his forehead. They go very nicely with his burnt shoulders. Here's a tip for you all, when backpacking do not (and we really mean this) repeat do not burn your shoulders in the sun.

Once on Phuket they headed to Pattong, a real heavy party beach with possibly the highest concentration of bars anywhere in the world (many of them of the go-go variety) so of course they went out and got obliterated (including a rather surreal experience playing the best pool of their lives in a Go-Go bar/pole dancing establishment) but surprising to report he managed to keep hold of all of his possessions. On the possession front he appears to have lost his belt, well is was last seen in Chiang Mai anyway.

They have a 15 hour overnight bus journey to look forward to now, what joy. In preparation he has steeled himself by buying a Daily Telegraph.
