Be prepared not to see much green stuff.
Hope you enjoyed your jollies

Fortunately the deteriorating playing surface is the same for both sides I hope.
Yep Ao Nang was v.enjoyable, a bit too hot and too many tourists, but we were a pair of tourists too, and it was Chinese New Year. TUI were excellent, on the ground and in the air. Flew Dreamliner in Premium direct from Manchester to Phuket, on their once a week direct outward flight every Tuesday (returning on Wednesday). The mini-bus transfer each way was over 2 hours, but we were prepared for that. The hotel, adults only BlueSotel Smart in Ao Nang was excellent, particularly our room a/c and the two infinity rooftop pools which helped catch what breeze there was and made for sublime sunsets most evenings.
Caught a bug on the final evening, which I think I've just about shaken off, Imodium definitely helped.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
