Terry was also getting excited about the weekend. He had stopped worrying now about using somebody else’s passport. His only problem now was how to get down to Phuket. It was a long way from Pattaya. The best and quickest option was to fly down, but Terry didn’t have a lot of money. As far as he was concerned, what he would have spent on a flight he could be spending in the bars. He was thinking about taking a bus. Although he permanently lived in a seaside resort in a tropical country 365 days a year, he was excited about having a holiday on the island of Phuket.

While they were all playing dominos Terry floated a question - bus or fly?

Sloany got straight onto his laptop, while the others argued about it and came up with various price guesses and hours it would take to make the journey.

“It will only cost you 200 baht on a bus and only take about 10 hours,” said Norris. That sounded really good to Terry.

“No. It will cost as much as a flight, about 2,000 baht and take 20 hours,” said John. That sounded really bad to Terry.

Sloany looked up from his laptop.

“A bus from Pattaya to Phuket will cost you 1,226 baht. The journey will take 14 hours, leaving at 6:00pm and arriving at 8:00am the next day. You can fly from Bangkok with Bangkokair for 1,790 baht and the flight will take just over an hour. It’s only 500 baht more Terry and I’ll take you to the airport for free, if you want?”

“Thanks Sloany. That’s it then. I’ll fly. It’s not worth worrying about for that amount of money.”

Eventually the weekend had arrived. Simon picked up the Honda Civic outside The Sloan Square Bar on Friday afternoon. He threw his case in the boot and picked up Pom from her rented room. He told Pom that he didn’t really want to drive all the way to Khon Kaen on a motorway and asked if she knew a more scenic route. She did and she directed him on main roads. They saw fields and mountains, farms and cities, towns and villages. Pom was happy to explain everything that they saw and Simon was happy to listen. They drove past many temples and beautiful Buddha statues. Pom told Simon the story of Buddha. He liked that too.
