I'm back blogging about another part of my last vacation - Phuket, Thailand.
For those who don't know their Southeast Asia geography (which I assume is most because I didn't either before I went there) Thailand is north of Malaysia, about a one hour flight. Which means...
Sarah and I took a 3 day trip to the beach! It was beautiful!
When we first arrived in Phuket, we took our pre-arranged ride (best decision ever) to Patong Bay. The heat in Phuket was surprisingly worse than in Kuala Lumpur.
I think it may have something to do with the lack of rain for the few days prior to when we arrived. We almost immediately went to our hotel room and changed into our swimsuits, not to change out of them the rest of our stay in Phuket except to sleep at night.
And so it was. We were on the beach!

Each day we headed to the beach. They beaches are lined with chairs and the sweet Thai men who manage them. You pay a few bucks to reserve your chair for the day and the Thai men make sure you are well taken care of... beach towel, moving the umbrella to actually block the sun, opening & closing the umbrella for you... you get the picture.
We bought our spots right in the front, pulled out our books, sunglasses, and sun block and settled in for a beautiful day!

| Walking the Beach |
At night, we liked to walk the beach, listening to the music from all the beach clubs. Thai women were selling paper lanterns, just like the ones in the movie Tangled. Our second night in Thailand, Sarah and I gave in and bought our own lanterns. We sent them floating over Patong Bay with a wish.
