Vice Don't

Tai chi on the beach at sunset - by all means.  Bonus points for not giving a f*ck about wearing your tightest shorts, shiny bracelets, huge ass pinky ring, bandana, and shades while doing it.  But why would you mess up that amazing ensemble with white Crocs?!?

Dicey

We went to Patong one night.  The main nightlife area is here, where you can see all the infamous ladyboys, pole dancing girls (or were they girls?), and general drunken mayhem.  It's pretty chaotic, with music blaring from all directions, too many flashing neon lights which give everything a pink glow, and girls constantly trying to pull you into their bar to buy them overpriced drinks. It's not really seedy, but it's not exactly classy either, if you know what I mean. Don't expect to be able to have a quiet drink here.  But definitely worth checking out for the sensory onslaught.

Sunset

Arrived in Phuket this afternoon.  It was a Nike reunion of sorts, as a lot of old colleagues also flew in for the wedding.  Catching up over a few beers at sunset at Surin Beach, where we are staying.  Can't ask for much more than that.
