Day three:
Today was a complete fail in more ways than one. So first we get up and decide we have heeeaps of time before our flight to Phuket so why not lounge around the pool for an hour or so. WRONG. We gave ourselves 30 mins to get to the airport and apparently had the wrong one so ended up taking an hour and we legit missed our flight. Sooo amature. New respect for AirAsia as they put us on another flight 4 hours later for free. So we had to bus to this other airport and wait it out, alllll good compared to what other crap we might have had to go through.

Eventually we make it to Phuket. Straight into a van which takes us to yet another 'stop' to try and convince everyone to buy crap at 'cheap deal cheap deal'. Then we switch vans and end up chatting to these cool travellers from Wales and Ireland. Got some tips on where to go in Ireland...nowhere was her advice..haha apparently 2 days is all you need to soak in the only good place - Dublin. And all there is to do is drink. Meh sounds fiiine to me. Anyway we get dropped off at our AMAZING hotel (thanks Abbey!) and decide to dump our stuff and venture out. Sams second major fail is discovered - he has lost his favourite shoes. They still havent turned up and we actually have NO idea what happened to them. RIP awesome shoes. Annnyway so were headed out to Phuket nightlife, AWESOME. Such a fun night! We all end up having quite a few drinks and surprising feeling kinda old...most of the people seemed about 18 at the bars/clubs we went to. But we go hard for a few hours before calling it a night and heading back straight to sleep. So that ended up being a really good day despite all the total mess ups!

Day four:

Today was super chilled. We just hung by the pool alllll morning. Then we hit up the gym pumped some weights in the sweltering heat - probably good for us given all the yum food consumption and somewhat excessive amount of cocktails. Then we head out for some shopping. Hitting up the markets and the mall - again not much was bought, a few tops and jewellery is all. Already SO SO over all the psycho people trying to get you to buy stuff ARGH if I wanted that crap I would look myself and NO I don't want DVD or masssaaaagggeee!! Well actually we did want massages and got them tonight - so good! Funny side note - literally about every half hour some dude congratulates Sam on 'having two wives' hahahaha its actually classic their first reaction to our random group dynamics. We cant get enough of it. Right so had dinner, massage then we decide to go be random and buy weird thai stuff from the supermarket that we dont know what it is (Narissa and I did this heaps last time and it was so fun opening the packet to the unknown!) and we stumble across this thai show. 200 baht so were like whyyy not. Totally in thai and we are literally the only tourists there. Getting super weird looks and trying to laugh when everyone else was can be hard! Was soo interesting though the whole show was so sparkly and just crazy like singing and dancing. God knows what the hell it was actually about though. Well that pretty much sums up today - pictures to come!
