To think, you will be there warming a bar stool in just 5 days!
i'm really excited for you, my friend! Wish i could be there, but duty calls here in the Motherland. I hope we can share a few drinks sometime during your next visit.
You mentioned renting a motorbike on Phuket. I think that's a great idea. I do every single time....and the going rate is about $7 US per day, unlimited mileage. I do hope that you'll take your motorbike and visit my my favorite beach: Surin Beach. It'll take you about :15 minutes to get there. Easy. It's a beautiful little beach, with a really great little bar on the far end. Can't miss it, it sits on a rock outcropping and offers tremendous views, chill music, and the food's quite good. If you read my last trip report, you'll see that it's LB friendly, should you desire to take a girl with you.
You can rent a lounge chair and umbrella for 100 baht per person, ($3), for the entire day. I sometimes go alone, and sometimes take an LB...nobody will bat an eye. Im fact, if you go, look for the bar that is "all white"...waitstaff wears white, bar and seats are white. At night, with the warm glow of blue neon and the ocean as a backdrop, it's an awesome place to take a date. I went with an LB last trip, and was perfectly comfortable there....just a suggestion.
Have a great trip!

Here's a few pics from Surin beach, as well as photo from the "19th hole" bar, located next door to C&D's. i've taken both the LB in the blue dress, as well as the girl next to me ("Sang") in the group photo.

Also check out the cabarets Moulin Rose (soi Croc), Simon in Patong and Simon Star and Aphrodite in Phuket Town. Also Kiss Bar and Boat Bar in Soi Paradise in Patong have cabarets. If you like that kind of thing.

Although I appreciate your recommendations, I thought it was uncalled for to offer Jimbo as the "Daddy hold your hand" alternative. I was reading this forum for awhile and saw a lot of respect and admiration of Jimbo as being a great guy to meet and have a good time with - someone who seems to be a very gracious host and sensitive to the newcomers.

youre spot on...
always a good idea...especially for 1-timers in the bar to meet up with Jim and have a drink...it DOES send a signal to all the girls in the bar
and yore welcome to use my bar-stool while iam stucked back in the salt-mines...just leave some cold Singhas for me
A ladyboy is a kind of creature...that makes a txt saying...dont you trust me...and send it to 20 people...

I'd be careful about that. I've sat on the Bat-stool before. It's just so....sticky.
I think CL was just joking. He is truly one of the devout, and as a regular to Phuket, is certainly no stranger to C&D's. I've shared a few drinks with him there and beyond...and i can assure you he'd be the first to make a newcomer feel welcome.

Okay Batman - I'll keep your seat warm provided of course the stickiness is removed
Finally finished up with the business BS that's been stressing me pretty much all week and can finally relax for an enjoyable visit! Whew, big relief.

enjoy your trip mate....iam sure you willi apologize if I took CL's comment too seriously; hard to tell if it was humor through the words written. Certainly don't want to start any drama here...

No offence taken guys.
It was indeed meant as a compliment both ways (kid in a candy store, daddy of all daddies in Patong, et al.)
After 5 years, nearing 40 trips I am still grateful that on my first ever I strolled nervously into C&D, asked for Jim to hold my hand and take me on a walk along candy lane. You couldn't ask for a better daddy, trust me
Have a lot of fun either way
