Just back from my annual trip with rapier1978. We will plan and go hunt together at least once a year since 2010. Chose this weekend to coincide with the World Cup Quarterfinals. Things have changed alot since then and let me summarize the trip details;
Flight- Jetstar- $150 (Price fluctuate at different times of the day, so need to check back often when booking)
Hotel- Used this website to try out new hotels (
http://www.bargirlfriendlyhotels.com). Chose Chambre, not too bad at $35 each night. Only downside is the rooms either face the other building wall or face an open field which is building new hotels now and everyday at 9am will start drilling and piling. Not too good if you party till 6am the day before. Air con took 2 hours to cool the room down to 25 degrees
Taxi/ Transfer- Taxi used to be 600b per trip, now its 800b. Googled and found out 2 transfer company, Phuketshuttle.com (750b) and Phukettaxi.com (670b). Chose the cheaper option, end up a total mess. Pick up at airport was OK but driver didn't know where is the hotel despite the request was send in a mth earlier. Driver didn't even know where is Junceylon! Didn't even show up for the return trip. Luckily we found a taxi to fetch us to the airport, just in time for the flight.
Suzy Wong Agogo- Now its like 180b for Heineken, Barfine ranges from 800-1500b! Didn't even bother to ask for ST/ LT prices. As usual the pretty ones will just sit there and act cool and the so so ones will be more active to approach customers. If bros really want to bring one back, do consider taking the so so one cos 99% the pretty one will be dead fish in the room.
Tiger Disco- Entry still stands at 200b with 1 free drink. Girls quality ranges but seem to be better than Hollywood on Sat night. The area where the old Tiger which was burnt down has been rebuilt into more open bars with neon coconut trees. Looks good from far
Hollywood Disco- Our No. 1 hunting ground. There is a COVER CHARGE now of 300b with a free drink. Bottle starts at 3000-4000b.
Fri night was packed. After the FRA-GER match final whistle, quickly move in on target. She was very active in the club with lots of grinding and laji. rapier1978 move in on her friend. We left about 2.30am and the nonsense starts to kick in. As usual, bring us to her sister/ friend's bar for birthday celebrations and another round of drinks. Then start to say hungry and kicked a fuss at the roadside stalls. We said bye bye and walked off. Hahaha!! Seeing her shock face was damn shiok!! We have learnt from our previous trips, when the girl starts giving you too much problems, drop off and walk away. Save the trouble and money! Bringing her back will give you even more problems!
