Phuket – Samui’s sister?
I arrived in Phuket and checked into the hotel Ruth and Sam were in; an amazing place called the Phulin Resort which was a 3-star, way-out-of-my-budget, package hotel – in essence i was taking a holiday from travelling.
I’ll keep this post brief because Phuket was not my cup of tea. Most of our days were spent around the pool sunbathing, trying to escape the almost unbearable heat and protecting Sam and Ruth from further sun exposure – “Look in the mirror” was the first thing i said when we were reunited. Their skin shone like a red neon sign.
On our final day we made it to Kata beach with its beautiful strip of white sand and clear sea. But a beach could not make up for Phuket as an island. Where were the tasty, cheap food stalls? Why were there in-house singers in the restaurants? Were all the boisterous girls in go-go bars just really friendly? What were all those old, white men doing with young thai woman (girls) – uncles visiting nieces????
