PHUKET 2023 : The good life in Patong

16 November to 17 December
We spent a month in Patong, Phuket; our home away from no home. It's so good to be back in our laid back, happy place. We like the easy life in Patong. Everything we want or need is right here. And we have Sam to drive us all over Phuket to visit all our other favourite places. 
Fred and Terri joined us at the beginning of our trip. Roger and Gill at the end.  We overlapped with Eric and Naomi and the girls for 1 night.
Nikki and Ranj came to party with us for a weekend. 
We also love seeing our friends who are lucky enough to live in Phuket all the time.
