Chapter 49 - Phuket - a retrospective

Short and sweet to say the least. It is very heavily developed and is certainly the most holiday orientated of all of their destinations in the South. Very few young 'uns and the two of them appeared to be the only two long term travellers in town.

Nevertheless a gratuitous party town has its place in the pantheon of experiences and Pattong provided that in abundance.

It is also the sleaziest and seediest of their destinations to date with a very high number of Ting Tongs and Go-Go bars.

On the Ting Tong front Pattong has its own breed of real sad losers. Most of the blokes drive their Ting Tongs round on the back of a moped/scooter. This lot can't even learn how to drive and have to be driven around by their Ting Tongs.
