After being in the city for a couple of nights, we were ready for some relaxation and headed to one of Thailand's beautiful beaches. We took the Bangkok Skytrain and then a taxi to the bus station in the afternoon and we had our very first taste of travel via bus in SE Asia. The bus was a double decker with reclining seats, refreshments and lots of Thailand pop music videos :). It was an overnight bus and surprisingly both Ryan and I managed to get some rest.
When we woke up (11 hrs. later) we found ourselves in another city and jumped in a taxi to put our feet in the sand! We stayed at the Pacific Club Resort in Karon Beach, Phuket and were greeted with a clean and pretty luxurious room for our budget travel! It was walking distance to the white sand beach and crystal blue water. Only problem and we packed the mini sunscreen and Ryan ended up with a major sunburn on Day 1, but we made the best of it and had some great food and plenty of relaxation.
After a couple of days lounging around at the hotel, we booked a trip on a speed boat to see some of the islands nearby and do some snorkeling. We went to Phi Phi Don, Monkey Bay and the island where they filmed the movie the Beach with Leo Di Caprio. The beaches were unlike anything I've ever seen before and the snorkeling was so much fun!
We headed back to Bangkok via bus before heading to our next stop...Siem Reap, Cambodia
