Just got back from 2nd trip to Patong, my wife and I went there 12 months ago this time we took 16 friends with us.as expected it was great. the people are so nice and accomodating. Stayed at the Holiday Inn and will probably stay there again next year (most of us will be going back again).One of the girls in our group was having her birthday and the owner of the Anzac bar(john) put on a bbq for us. it was a great night and his staff did the cooking and even organised a birthday cake.We had regular beer stops at the Aussie bar where we met a guy called Dong, very funny character who is an exceptional pool player,after beating us he offered to give us a chance by only playing one handed.Amazingly he beat us using just one hand.If anyone gets the chance give him a game it is incredible (we did not play for money and he never asked to either).We did the Phi Phi island tour ,atv's,zoo,deep sea fishing, para sailing (not me)and heaps of other stuff,we ate and drank too much and the girls gave the shopping quite a work out. There are only 2 things that I dislike one is the amount of times that people on motor scooters pull up asking if you speak english, this is just a ploy to get you into there timeshare, whilst i am fairly patient this became an annoyance as it would happen every 5 minutes or so. the other thing I dont like is some of the guys standing outside the shops wanting to shake your hand and virtually pulling you towards there door.Looking forward to returning next year and doing it all again.
