Leaving Chiang Mai, we decided to fly south of Thailand to try and find some sun. Here we are in Phuket. We did know that some parts of the island were a little bit dodgy but we decided to see for ourselves... Landing in Phuket, shared a taxi* with 2 other frenchies we met in the plane and here we are in Patong Beach. How could we describe this place... Magalouf style main road, Tacky, full of tatooed covered overweight people mainly eastern European, sugar daddies with young thai girls or ladyboys, bars with neon lights everywhere even in the taxis ! Got proposed 100 times to go and watch a Ping Pong show, will avoid to explain you what it is... but definitely not for us ! In this town, tuk tuk are like "pimp my ride" minivans boosting out music as they take you to Bangla road. See for yourself :

Top rated activity on Tripadvisor and the lonely planet was Simon Cabaret so we decided to go. An aray of different colours and costumes amazed the crowd. Still now at this point of time hard to believe that all those women on stage were actually lady boys !
*By saying "we shared a taxi" Sophie actually means she was very subtile in ensuring we would be sharing the same taxi! saying to the guys oh, well you've got someone picking you up and you are only 2? we can come with you then!... lol..
