phuket day 2

Day 2
work up early at abt 9am had home cook anerican breakfast by mich, before we head out to the beach first was kata beach , let the dog out to play and run around. kata is rather fine beach , not so much crowds as it is the off peak season. i believe its less crowded then patong beach. here you can surf or jet ski.

after that we sent tonic back home for a hose down before heading out to nai harn beach. the beach here is even secluded and smaller then kata but still its nice. we had lunch at one of the little cafe which have a magnificent view of the sea.

this cafe you have to take off your shoe before stepping in.

after which we drove up to the promthen cape its the southern most point of phuket yet another stunning view of the indian ocean andamann coast. its has one of the best sunset view point. theres a elephant shrine there encircling it with hundreds of elephant donated by devotees i suppose. after which we walked to the lighthouse. inside is a mini museum of sort , interesting to say the least. after which we went down to outlet mega mart along chao fa road. bought a couple of stuff like boardshorts and shirts..

phuket day 1

Day 1
when i arrive at phuket airport i was not greeted by nat whom is the appointed driver to cheuffeur me to mich place. instead i have to wait about 20 mins for nats brother to pick me up.

the trip to mich place is about 45mins. long but interesting not to say the least. as i talk to the presumably the gal friend of nats brother. question i asked regarding phuket. my answers are punctuated with broken english and occasional finding the right word to reply to me.

total cost for the ride to mich place was abt 600 baht. i was greeted by the couple mich and warren at their landed bangalow property , which were gaurded by security gaurded elderly guys. dump my bags and we headed out for a meal,abt 10 mins drive. as usual when in thailand eat what the thai eat. tomyam gong. some seafood and sticky rice which u can eat it with your hands. we chatted and notice the mosquito starts to irritate. thats the time we had to leave the restuarant.

after getting back to mich place, had some fun with the dobberman dog and tabby cat, aptly named gin tonic. settling down in my bedroom it has cable tv and a king size bed great for my tired legs and heavy stomach.
