Phuket Old Town Festival 2017

Phuket Old Town Festival is something that I have always like to visit - 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

Here are some details of 2017.

Fancy a ride on a rickshaw? Go to the Limelight area...

I hope to make another visit - see you there...

The bus from the airport

So does this really work - I have seen the metered taxi ranks in Phuket Town that are not used? 

So what do you expect?

Alarm bells ring - I am wrong, sorry, fabulous service - but not sure if I would bank on it being there if I had lots of luggage and children and it might not be going near to where you would like to go?

Do and Don't for Thai Dining

This is certainly necessary if you are here in Thailand and want to make a good impression.

Full Moon Party - ouch

There is another reason why not to go to the Full Moon parties now...

The Enigma returns in the night...

The Enigma was spotted of the beach at Cape Panwa Hotel and Spa - all be it very briefly. There certainly is a tale behind this super yacht.

LEGO Advent Calendar

This was a very popular Christmas gift in our house this year - coming very close to 
Series 2 of Scorpion.

But as I have thrown the box away I realise that I have lost all the instructions - so I have searched the Internet and found a number of sites with pictures of the set.

Thank you - but no instructions...

Merry Christmas on Instagram

Wonderful - I found this image sometime back and it was lovely to see two people that had asked to borrow some bits from me use them - and this was not the only place...

Silly Jokes shared on the Internet - Donald Trump

AN AIRPLANE WAS ABOUT TO CRASH; THERE WERE 5 PASSENGERS ON BOARD, BUT ONLY 4 PARACHUTES.

THE FIRST PASSENGER, HOLLY MADISON SAID, "I HAVE MY OWN REALITY SHOW AND I AM THE SMARTEST AND PRETTIEST WOMAN AT PLAYBOY, SO AMERICANS DON'T WANT ME TO DIE."

SHE TOOK THE FIRST PACK AND JUMPED OUT OF THE PLANE.

THE SECOND PASSENGER, JOHN MCCAIN, SAID, "I'M A SENATOR, AND A DECORATED WAR HERO FROM AN ELITE NAVY UNIT FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."

SO HE GRABBED THE SECOND PACK AND JUMPED.

THE THIRD PASSENGER, DONALD TRUMP SAID, "I AM GOING TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, I AM THE SMARTEST MAN IN OUR COUNTRY, AND I WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" .

SO HE GRABBED THE PACK NEXT TO HIM AND JUMPED OUT.

THE FOURTH PASSENGER, BILLY GRAHAM, SAID TO THE FIFTH PASSENGER, A 10-YEAR-OLD SCHOOLGIRL,"I HAVE LIVED A FULL LIFE AND SERVED MY GOD THE BEST I COULD. I WILL SACRIFICE MY LIFE AND LET YOU HAVE THE LAST PARACHUTE. "     

        

THE LITTLE GIRL SAID, "THAT'S OKAY, MR. GRAHAM.  THERE'S A PARACHUTE LEFT FOR YOU.  THE SMARTEST MAN IN AMERICA TOOK MY SCHOOL BAG ."
