just checked out from our awesome $20 a night hotel in patong beach this hotel had everything
you needed a shower a fridge running water a nice big double bed and it was clean clean and
some really nice windows as well it was so nice down here we went to the same same market last
night i think it might be my favorite night here in the theme of keeping things relatively cheap
we're trying to find the cheapest way to get from patong beach to phuket old town
which is our next accommodation uh we think we've found one it's called a songthaew song
watched a video how to pronounce it like five times and stick out from there and say it but
it should be like 50 baht each to get to phuket i will say this bus does not have bus stops so
i don't know how we're gonna get off but we'll see
we went all the way to the bus stop where it
starts but it was just leaving so we would have had to wait half an hour
we're not really sure what like what the fulls are so for the first one we wanted to go to the bus
stop just to make sure we were able to get off and make sure it's the right one and all that stuff
a bit earlier quite a bit earlier i don't
think there's going to be any mistakes in the driver yeah
so we might have a big walk okay

success didn't have to push a button at all he actually stopped a little bit of the way down
and came and talked to everyone and said where are you going a little bit of a language barrier but
we figured it out and we're we're pretty close now it's a little bit of a walk on a highway
successful songthaew bit bumpy didn't take long at all no it was super quick super easy
let's achieve that so it ended up being 40 baht each
it's just like this little old van with benches put in rickety the drivers on his phone the whole
time not super said no seat belts super local though but we made it super cheap
you've gotten so lucky we've been letting us all check in that's super early it's like not even
9am strange thing with thailand some places don't accept credit cards like these are all mastercard
they have their own pay app which we're here to figure out so we've got homework to do i do
so glad that we got to check in early means that we dropped all our bags off
and we can go and explore with just this small backpack i'm super excited because
old town looks beautiful there's all these lovely cafes and stuff like that
but also like temples that apparently we can walk through i'm very keen
