Well we made it here safe and sound! After four flights and a night camped out in the Bangkok airport, we made it to Phuket, the big island in southern Thailand. We were greeted by lovely 34 degree weather and have been sweating ever since! This place is beautiful! So much sunshine and everything is very green.
We took a bus to our adorable hotel, set up on the hill with amazing views of the ocean from the infinity pools, and only a one minute walk from the beach.
We spent our first day on the beach and at the pool, fighting a big lack of sleep. The beach is stunning, with hot sand and really warm blue water. We scoped out the delicious fresh fruit stands, eating only pineapple, papaya, and bananas for lunch. We thought we were getting in trouble for bringing wine coolers up to the pool, but were in fact being asked why we didn't have more with us!
We figured out the public buses this morning and took a trip into Phuket Town (we are staying on the other side of the island). The town was quite intimidating, and much more local. We checked out the market with rows and rows of vegetables, clothing, and flowers, but had to leave pretty fast when we got to the meat floor. The smell and the hundreds of ducks and pigs hanging everywhere was a little intense! We did find some nice gardens and monuments though before heading back to our hotel.
We spent the rest of the day at the beach and finished off with dinner by the water. It's been a nice relaxing two days here. We're caught up on our sleep and ready to have some fun on the other islands, starting with Koh Phi Phi tomorrow!
