Advice for sailing companion
I am headed to Phuket in 2 weeks and renting a sailboat for a few days. My friend has had to cancel, so I was thinking of getting a girl to join me for a few days of fun, but leaves me with no time to really shop around and try before taking her for 3 days. She also needs to be able to swim and OK to go on a boat. I was considering using Katherines (pricey I know but could email and book in advance). Any suggestions or other options? Has anyone used rubyphuket. Com before? Or should I just hit the bars and try to pick the best I can? I am OK with paying a little more to book in advance if I feel it has a higher chance of success for this situation.
If anyone had a recommendation and contact info for a girl who would fit the bill that I could arrange in advance that would be great. But I fully understand if you don't want to share with a first time poster.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Transportation Options in Patong
Heading to Patong Beach in December. Have an apartment on the north end off of Phra Barami Road and Rat-U-Thit. Recently read that the Tuk-Tuks are a ripoff and no Bhat Buses in the evening. Curious to know how far a walk it is from the north end down into Bangla Road? Also if anyone can share the most economical means of getting around short of renting a moto. Too dangerous for me to consider that option, but do not want to pay $5-6 each way if I can avoid it. If the walk is 10 min, no problem. But am unable to figure out how far it is from my apartment to the entertainment area. Am surprised that there are not Bhat Busses that run the circuit. Everywhere else I have been in Thailand, they have been the most economical form of transportation. Des not seem to be the case on Patong. Appreciate any advice or link to quality information that will help educate me.
