Been an age since my last post. Now in Phuket with the whole family, kids, grandparents. Struggling with an unreliable cafe wifi and my Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Phuket is every bit as good as I remembered it. In the decade since our last visit, Patong has changed beyond all recognition. Laguna is fabulous. Spent hours driving around lost in our hire car. Broke down once already. Found a super-cheap hotel, then moved to the hotel next door at half the price.

Already found plenty of retailers for the Waboba balls. Now all we need is the balls. They’ve been tied up in customs, but should be out next week.
