Thailand again

We arrived at our beachfront bungalow just as the last glimmer of light disappeared from the sky. An uneventful – if somewhat long – journey. 
I reckon the driver who brought us from the airport could have shaved an hour or two of the flight time from Perth if he had been on the flight deck of the Virgin 737.
Interesting bunch of fellow passengers – a few older single men who were probably heading for the attractions of Patong and a lot of young couples – some on honeymoon and some who our Aussie friends may have referred to as Bogans. I am not entirely sure of the definition but the copious tattoos, the garish jewellery and the gold Beats by Dr Dre seemed to be a bit of a giveaway – I am sure Colin will correct me if I have got this wrong.

Felt at home as soon as I sat down to a cold bottle of Chang and a plate of Pad Thai. Will have to wait till sunrise to see what the rest of the place looks like.
