Finally in Phuket!

Hello!


After about 24hrs of travelling, Im finally in my huge bed and I am exhausted.
First I took a bus to Helsinki-Vantaa airport, waited for my flight 3hrs and boarded Finnair, which took me to Bangkok in 10.5 hours. In Bangkok, I waited again 3 hours for my flight to Phuket, at which point the lack of sleep started to kick in. I maybe slept an hour onboard.. But I watched The Hunger games and The Avengers movies onboard Finnair!... Not very clever. 

Helsinki-Vantaa airport.

   At Bangkok Airport I was little lost, even though I have been in Bangkok before, but the airport is huuuge compared to Helsinki-Vantaa. AirAsia was fine and the flight took only 1.5hrs. There should have been a taxi driver with a sign, that has my name on it waiting... After 20min nothing. Loads of taxis and all ofcourse want me to hop in, but not the one Im looking for. Finally I take some random taxi, agree the price and in the end get to Cocoville Phuket. Sounds easy? Well the driver didnt know the place, so he asked advice from another taxi driver and they ended up switching driver... 
Awesome when you are tired like shit. In the end, we somehow mixed the arrival time with Cocoville, they had made a sign for me though but thought I would arrive later.

My own villa is awesome. Huge bed, ac, very clean, bigger fridge than we got back in Helsinki, big tv, satellite channels and the villa is quite big. Last time I was in asia, I stayed in the cheapest possible bungalows but now in here. There was nothing wrong with the cheaper ones, but the main reason is, that I will be training and want good place to recover = air conditioning, good bed and showers etc. 
I already ate at the restaurant in a Cocoville. I was starving and really ate to the breaking point.  
I had a Pad thai with chicken(60bht), freshly squeesed juice, bottle of water and a big chocolate banana protein shake. Cost combined 250bht = 5-6e. Pad thai alone made me full... Welcome to Thailand!

I will be writing most of this with my Ipad, which isnt exactly best suited for it. I will be updating with photos, when I figure out how to do it with this thing... 
Off to bed for like 24 hours...
