leicester city ? ( iphone pic )

the biggest team in thailand... leicester city !

at bangkok airport only one english team has it's own shop... the foxes !

er...

the final breakfast

for my final breakfast in phuket i opted for steak and egg

the fried egg was perched on top of a portion of mashed / fried potatoes.

it was absolute genius... like a diamond bullet through the temple.

steak, egg, potatoes.

and all was good in my world.

girl on a swing

you know full well that i wanted to call this post "the odd couple"

or "the beauty and the beast" but that seemed a bit cheeky so i didn't.

the thing is... there was a couple staying at the same resort as me

and to cut a long story short, she was skinny as you like... you know,

really skinny and he... well he wasn't.

honestly, it's not just me being nosey, everybody would double take them as they

walked by. the bloke was by far the biggest bloke there and she was the skinniest.

i always wanted to take a photo of them as they walked by but it seemed a bit rude.

but one evening i was sitting with a beer getting ready for the sunset and they

walked in front of me. she got on a swing and he started pushing her.

i only took two shots as it seemed a bit cheeky, and even then i took

them off the hip so hopefully the other people nearby couldn't tell i was

'papping' them.

anyway, maybe it's not much of a story. maybe you had to be there to

find it interesting, but what i would say is... it's quite a nice photo isn't it ?

happy holiday

i pretty much worked my way through the sala phuket breakfast menu

over the past two weeks. my favourite had to be the steak and eggs

but there were days when i just wasn't feeling hungry at breakfast.

on days like those, i opted for the n7 special... 2 poached eggs on brown toast.

of course it wasn't much like the n7 version.

here they give you mashed potato with every breakfast.

can you see the indentation in the centre of the mash ?

that's where there was a tomato before i had it removed.

also just one slice of toast... ordinarily this would irk me more than somewhat

but in phuket, the brown bread was massive... almost the size of two 

regular slices would be in n7, so i let it pass without complaining.

genius eggs too.

good work sala phuket.

coffee in phuket

i was having a nightmare with coffee every breakfast time.

i tried americano, espresso, filter, i was even given my worst enemy

( a latte in a tall glass ) one morning.

after maybe 8 days though i was given this bad boy...

i asked for a strong latte to be served in a cup with an extra shot.

it wasn't quite a flat white, but it was as close as i could hope for.

good coffee times.

strange boat, ship, yacht or whatever it's called.

on my last day at sala phuket a very strange looking boat turned up.

ok, boat probably isn't the word is it ? what do you call it ?

a ship ? a yacht ? vessel ?

well i'm no expert but it certainly looked like a strange effort... you know

... the design of it and all that.

the front and the back bits ( bow and stern ? ) seemed to be slanting

in the wrong way... do you know what i mean ?

here's a bit of a pull, where maybe you can see it better

oh, as you can see, after a while the side of the thing opened up and out of it

came two jet-skis and also two motor boats.

it certainly caught the attention of the people at my resort...

...one by one they all got off their loungers and got up to take a look.

and to take photos

so...

... any idea what this thing is ?

and what's the story with the bits sloping the wrong way ?
