After only four hours sleep due to a goodbye party in Patong that overstepped the bounds of decency, we headed out of Phuket on an eight hour bus journey to Hat Yai. After a gruelling bus trip we got off, said "That was horrible; never again!", only to hop onto the Hat Yai to Songkhla bus which was ten times worse. This bus had a sub-woofer in the back and they played bad Thai karaoke videos at full volume all the way to Songkhla. I can assure you that Thai Karaoke is an entirely passable experience.
The Thais helped us again with their friendly ways. A family helped us get to our guest house and went out of their way to make sure we got there safely. No wonder everyone loves this country.
We shared the room with two cockroaches the size of my fist, but we couldn't have been happier to see that bed. Sixteen hours of travelling and that bed was ours. Happy days.
The next day was spent in Songkhla recovering with nice coffees and a visit to the lucky mermaid statue. Local myth says that stroking her boobs brings you good luck. I figure that if I'm stroking some boobs I've already had some good luck!
