Phuket, Let's Go to the Beach

Hello family and friends,

We are currently in Krabi, Thailand at Ao Nang beach. We just spent the previous week in Phuket, Thailand at Karon beach. We tried to follow a very strict schedule on most days as follows:

Sleep in no later than 10:00 AM
Yogurt by 11:00 AM
Beach by 12:00 PM
Relax in the room by 3:00 PM
Daily 7/11 trip by 5:00 PM (if you have been to Thailand beaches, this makes sense to you)
Sunset by 6:00 PM
Dinner by 7:00 PM (usually Subway's sub of the day- don't laugh)
Back to the room for more relaxation by 8 PM followed by another 7/11 trip just to make sure a new green tea flavor didn't get released
Bed by midnight

Phuket was a vacation away from our traveling. We loved sitting on the sand watching the sun fade away into the darkness. Luckily we have a few more islands lined up to fulfill all of our coastal and sunset needs. Please enjoy the following pictures.

Our first sunset before dinner




From the seafood restaurant we ate at




Our first full day on the beach. Gnarliest cloud we ever saw. The locals were frantically packing up their possessions, but it never actually stormed believe it or not










Two kids playing soccer while the sky was falling







Sailboat about to get eaten or so it would appear







Later that evening on Kata beach (just a 20 minute walk from our place)













Our walk to the Kata/ Karon viewpoint. As most of you probably remember, Thailand was hit by a tremendous tsunami that killed many people. Much of the damage was done in the area we stayed.




That's not a leaf... This is a leaf




Looks both ways before you cross the street




The view







Kata Noi beach







Get a room!







Just because its a beach vacation doesn't mean no exercise. We took a hike to the biggest Buddha statue on the island. They call this statue, "The Big Buddha."




Sorry that's the wrong picture, here you go







On the walk to The Big Buddha, we met a few friends.




Oh come on, now you are just trying to be cute




And later. Not sure I'd smell those shoes, but he sure enjoyed it




He also loved milk




Others pics from the hike through the jungle






















Tropical fruits







Our final sunset from Phuket







Our goodbye dinner during a power outage. Kinda nice eating in the dark




Well it's back to 7/11 for some big gulps...See ya next time from Krabi
