Phuket, Thailand
We flew with Susan from Bangkok to Phuket, an island on the southern tip of Thailand. We are staying for one week in Patong Beach, a very touristy destination on Phuket. The shops that line the streets are jammed packed with every brand name and the sellers rival those from Egypt when it comes to pushiness. Here on the streets you here the call for “massaaaage” and “tuk-tuk Boss?” The food in Thailand is delicious, but you never know when something you eat will make you sick. Because of stomach disorders on different days, it took us until the last full day until we were able to go out together (we now call it Puke-et, but will spare you all the gory details). We booked a half-day boat excurson to Khai Island. We had a great day on the water, visited three small islands, snorkeled, relaxed and watched the local fishermen bring in their catch. Tomorrow we are flying to Chiang Mai in the north.
