Second week fun!

Our second week has been spent in Karon beach in Phuket. It is closer to Patong than our last apartment, and just a basic hotel room at Phuket Orchid resort.

 It is great for families as it has lots of pools and a playground and some slides for the kids.  

 

When you get to the top you get to jump off the top! 

It is also close to lots of different restaurants so we had lots of take away on our courtyard 

 

Thankfully the boys preferred to eat inside while watching cartoons on the TV and leave us to our quiet.. 

 We did some of our schoolwork  in the restaurants.  This is Steve's across the road which gave us a great Sunday roast 

 We took a tuk- tuk into Patong area!  

The boys spent 100 baht each of their money to get a Minion who had a glow fan and sung Gangman Style!  I asked the lady if she also sold Ear plugs - she just laughed! 

Patong beach was absolutely disgusting! 

The entire beach was covered with rubbish and made both Derryn and I sick !  

Everyone of those bloops is a piece of rubbish :( 

We was watched the crazy para sailing people for ages! 

It was crazy busy on the roads 

We went to mum and dad's favourite Irish bar from their last trips (no where as fun with two kids asking for their Mc'Donalds from next door :( ) 

Two happy boys - 

 

Caleb and Daddy snuck out for a foot massage - 300 baht each :) well worth it they tell me :) 

Caleb was so relaxed !

It finished with a back rub. 

The erosion from the high seas was crazy! Yesterday we walked off the end of this pier ... Today it was at least a metre to the bottom! 

 

We had yummy pork ribs off the BBQ at a little restaurant with two full chicken merilands - ribs were 200 baht and chicken 80 baht each! 

Mummy and daddy had one or two drinks at the room. 

The hotel bar.

Yet another beer ...

2 sneaky day trips for Caleb!

Poor Blake is to little to do lots of the fun things so we have each snuck out with Caleb for a sneaky day trip.  First was buggy riding with Dad and then horse riding with mum!

Day one - buggy riding

Caleb really wanted the photo souvenir - he got it with his saved up money.  

No idea what the two of them were doing here! But any way :) they got to visit the big budda on the way.  They drove their buggy all the way there on the road - lucky mum wasn't there to stress out!! 

Derryn enjoyed the off-roading much more - but wished the buggy had more poke!  Caleb said daddy was driving a bit crazy and the told him to slow down.  

Caleb got to sit on the (poor) baby elephant.

It gave him a nice "hug" around the neck with his trunk! 

 Day two - horse riding

Mummy and Caleb's day out! Sounded like a grand idea! I love horses and all .... 

All kitted out and ready to ride. They whisked us super quick on to the horses without even a greet with the horse or a pat.

This was my not so happy horse, he kept trying to run away from the person who ended up walking and leading the horse the whole way lol! 

  Caleb said it was as good as the buggy riding, but I wished my horse was a little calmer!

At the end we got a water with the tiniest straw in it ever 

Caleb was again keen to get the photo ...

First week fun

Wow we have had so much fun this week - our first week of 11 enjoying our family and all Thailand has to offer without working :)

We didnt bring a camera with us - and these are some snaps we go with Blake's Samsung galexy tab :)
