We did the James Bond Island tour, it was a good day out. It was too rough the week we were there to check out Phi Phi Island. We had teenage kids with us for Phuket and we took them to the zoo show.... Can't recall the name of it, but on the North side of Phuket - someone on here will know it. It was advertised heavily when we were there, assuming its still the same I am certain you will hear about it. Again that was a good evening out.

There's better Islands closer to Phuket than James Bond, but yeah Phang Nah is a beautiful spot so a longer trip isn't too bad. I think a lot of people do James Bond instead of the closer Hongs purely because the movie was made there. Do the closer ones on a sunset cruise, that's the best option and you don't have to get up early.

Well gents the time has come, I'm off on my honeymoon tomorrow morning! After a ripping day Saturday, as gay as this sounds it was actually perfect, the day was fantastic.

So thanks to the likes of Boon, Corona, Jimbo, Kooka and of course the Pirate I'm going to try and get a look at the venues listed below;

BANGKOK-

We'll Transport via the Sky rails and be sure to get to The big mango, MBK and the Platinum shopping mall. (What is the BTS Line?)

Koh Samui-

Ang Thong marine park, Chewang, Phensiri, the rocks, Islander Bar, Phen Siri and the Scandic grill. If after all these bars were sober enough we may try some snorkling in Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan


Khao Lak-

Bang Niang markets, Phang Nga Bay and then for a feed, The Golden elephant restaurant, Little mum and dads restaurant and the Boom Boom party time restaurant.


Phuket-

Been here plenty of times (This is number 8) don't need much help here but never been to any of the above places.

If anyone thinks Ive left anything out please don't hesitate to suggest i'll be all ears....

Thanks again guys
you've gota keep on keep'n on .........

Pretty sure MBK is on the national stadium line. There are maps in all the BTS stations and it’s dead easy to work out... even at 4am!

Absolutely amazing mate. I’ve been a huge Patong fan for years but Koh Samui and Koh Lak are a million times better. I was planning on a full review on the flight home.

I did stack the scooter with the Mrs on the back 3 nights Ago I wasn’t very popular the next day.
