Phuket

So to finish off, we have the beginning of my trip, which was only a few days in Phuket. Although it was touristy, we had a good time laying in the sun, and we made friends with some Thai guys who worked on the beach. They were the reason I so enjoyed my time here...we had a good time talking to them during the day (while they worked), and then hanging out with them again in the evenings. It's too bad we didn't stay longer and get to know them better. They were the only Thai we had any real contact with our entire trip. Anyhoo, here are a few more pics for you, and then it's la korn na kha (farewell) to Thailand until I return next spring. :)
Personal babe-sized pool:
The beach is behind me there; loved staying right near the water! Our balcony looked down on a side street:
Ate copious amounts of amazing fruit the entire time, and also got served drinks in coconuts:

Ah, the life!
