After we found thier hotel, we brought his stuff up to the room and then went to ocean mall. we hung out here for the rest of the night, when we first got thier we went to "banana Variety" this is a store that everything is made of bananas and so many different ways to do it too! After that we went in the mall shopping and stuff, we found a picture booth so we decided to get pictures, it was fun:P around 10 er so me and the girls went home and jeff went back to the hotel to wait for chris, he was getting in at 11;30 that night!
Friday; we made plans to all meet up the next morning at thier hotel to get the bus to patong and go to the beach! although katie almost missed it bc her mom left a little too late, i had to stall the driver so she wouldnt miss it! haha so we get in patong and hit the beach right away! we played a 3 on 3 game of soccer right on the beach, tho our team didnt win but w/e haha it was still fun! aam and the guys were working, and aam was a little jelous chris and jeff were there but it was a fun day, tho chris picked me up and threw me in the water and i didnt even have my bathing suit on and no change of clothes haha coulda killed em! so i had to buy a teeshirt and then we got lunch, then the boys went back to thier hotel and me katie and karin hung out with aam put and kiat on the beach, relaxing and celebrating aams bday. later we went back home and the girls stayed at my place that night!
Saterday;(today is Aams 19th birthday) the guys wrote thier SAT tests till like 4;00 and the girls were at the house till 5; katies family was goin to krabi for a few days so we said bye to her! karins host mom took me karin chris and jeff out for dinner, after dinner we all hung out for awhile, then karins mom came and got her so me and the guys jus wanderded town and, then i jus went home!
Sunday;Jeff was leaving early in the morning so me and chris met up later, we went to ocean, and then got some pizza for lunch, then we went to see a movie " the departed" it was really good but the ending kinda sucked, after that chris was heading to the hotel and then to the airport to go back to korat, so i jus went back home, and hung out there for the rest of the night!
monday; i was supposed to meet karin in town and go to patong but we decided not too and instead i went to town with my host mom and brother, we went to the biggest book store in phuket, then went to thier dental clinic in town, it was kinda boring bc they were working so i went back with my grandmum at 4;00. i jus stayed home for the rest of the night and ate supper!
