Everyone likes to bring a souvenir or two home from their travels and every destination has unique offerings when it comes to shopping. This is my third trip to Thailand and I’m back in Phuket. Phuket is one of Thailand’s largest islands and each area has it’s own unique appeal. Patong is widely considered Phuket’s party destination which draws young backpackers in droves, but there is plenty to appeal to families and couples as well. When I deciding where to stay in Phuket, I always chose either Patong, Kata or Karon. Shopping in Patong is dominated by merchants hawking their wares and their enthusiasm to make a sale can be a little bit daunting for a first timer. My guide will help to steer you through the maze and hopefully bag a bargain in the process. Read on for all the details …
A friend and I were given a leave pass as our hubby’s valiantly agreed to look after her kids back in Phuket while we had a girls day out. We decided that the best way to spend the day would be a quick trip to Bangkok!!! Who does that right? Yeah we do! That’s just how we roll. It meant that we were up at 3.30am and our heads didn’t hit the pillow again until well after midnight, so we really made the most of our one day in Bangkok. Read on for all the details …
Eating is one of life’s great pleasures and one of the things I really look forward to while on holiday, so I take choosing each meal very seriously. There is nothing worse than being disappointed with a bad meal as you only have a finite number of meals while on the ground. South East Asia is an assault on your senses. The sights, the smells and of course the tastes, so indulging a little while we are here was always going to be on the cards. Dining in Phuket can mean anything from street carts to five star dining and everything in between. We are staying in Patong and according to Trip Advisor there are 428 restaurants to choose from but there are no doubt many more that have not been reviewed and plenty in the surrounding areas. We were pretty happy with all our choices. Read on for all the details …
Koh Phi Phi is a tiny speck of an island in the middle of the Andaman Sea so don’t expect to be spoiled for choice here. The island is divided by a fairly steep hill so once people have chosen which side to stay on they generally stick to that area. We are staying at the Cabana Phi Phi Hotel so we have been dining in the Tonsai area during our two days here. While Michelin stars may not abound you can still find some tasty treats while dining in Koh Phi Phi. Read on for all the details …

This is my third visit and this time we have The Enabler and her family in tow. It’s the Mini enablers very first overseas trip and they are mega excited to say the least.
