It's been a crazy trip. My body will need a holiday from this holiday!
Hasn't been a lot of issues with the 30 days of morning. No kick boxing (therefore no Tuk Tuk's driving around with the music and stuff playing promoting the fights) no fire works allowed and none of the fire things that go up in the night sky of a night time (can't remember what they're called) it's certainly the most quiet it's been since I've been to Thailand (5 times) although I'm not sure that's all the king passing. Patong has seemed to of lost its identity, it's now very commercialized. It's a shame.
The dollar is also shit ATM, the best Ive got so far is $26.76, prior to this trip the best of got is $35-$36. Talking to a few they all seem to think now most Aussies go to Pattaya, Koa Somu etc etc.
I'm certainly not complaining. I've had a few great tours with still 2 to go but with that being said my 5th trip to Patong I think will be my last.
Hopefully my liver can hold up till Next week.
