After a long and arduous journey to Phuket, we arrived late afternoon in Phuket town and immediately caught a taxi to Karon beach, about 30 minutes away. We grabbed some food once we had checked into our guesthouse, then went and sat on the beach to watch the sun go down. The next day we were up reasonably early and decided to spend all day chilling on Karon beach. The beach was massive, and pretty busy, but by about mid-afternoon many of the crowds had gone which gave us some good quality sunbathing and sea swimming time!!
Friday 18th we went to another nearby beach called Kata which was also very nice although still fairly crowded. We found Phuket to be very very touristy, obviously we were there in peak season, but it was full of holiday makers and there wasn't much of a traveller vibe there, so after a couple of days we felt we were ready to leave. Saturday we were up early to catch a ferry to Koh Phi Phi island, the one made famous by the film The Beach.
