You guys need to get in touch with my mom in New Zeland, Auckland. She will show you around, you can stay in a real house and she will cook for you. She maybe be offened if you go to her country and don’t at least see her once. Just an idea. I know she would love to take care of you guys, she is a great caregiver.

A girl I used to live with when I was student teaching just got back from a year or more in Thailand and she said this is the best place to stay in Phuket. The rooms range from around $8-$15 depending on if you want a private bath or a view… http://www.phuket43guesthouse.com/index.htm
