The Sky Phuket

... 8211; but we also picked up something - we've got
“Bangkok Belly” or maybe Laos belly we started feeling it when we
arrived in Bangkok so who knows? The plan is now to take it easy for
a couple of days – head to the beach and re-group. We are going to
stay at the Sawasdee Village Resort which looks really nice. We got
a GREAT deal via the internet. So nothing like sleep, water, and the
sun to get back on track!

... 21.3 kilometers wide.

Phuket borders on Phang-nga Province to the north. The other 3 sides are encircled by the Andaman Sea the place where many of the best diving sites are located. The island is connected to Phang-nga Province by Sarasin Bridge and Thep Krasattri Bridge.

Staying on the island is easy, as there are only two seasons in a year - the rainy season (May to October) and the hot season (November ...

... by
a large tour group so we sailed further on to a very small and
private beach being high tide we had about 1.5 metres to set the
straw mats down on. Deidre swam from the yacht about 75 metres to
shore while the rest of us went by dingy. While we waited for the
freshly cooked Thai picnic lunch to be served we swam in the water,
Mark wanted to swing on the rope hanging from the rocks and as I went
to take his photo I was stung on the ankle by a jelly fish ouch a ...

... coming back. Marriott has started a conservation and breeding program to counteract this problem. I set out in search of this beach only to get lost, over shoot, then undershoot the turn off and proceed to witness a reveling Songkran pick-up swerve into a ditch (everyone was okay) and get an itchy motorbike sun burn on my forearms from all the driving. I arrive at the Marriott, am redirected randomly to another remote place on the beach where I discover some ...

... me and TJ decided to go skinny dipping again in the sea. It must have been around 6am and after a shirt while swimming and chating. We saw a torch being shone on people around the beach. It was the security guard. Nudity being illegal in Thailand and watching the security guard walk closer to our shorts, me and TJ started to panic. The security guard finally shone his torch at our shorts and walked up to them. Being naked in the sea with our clothes metres away from us and ...

... but we were conscious we were really late for our dive course introduction. Ashling and Paula managed to find my bag but somehow Lois' had ended up out on the deck. I guess someone realised it wasn't theirs and dumped it. Eventually we made it off the boat and began our hike to the dive centre on the other side of the island. It was scorching hot and we were literally dripping wet when we arrived at Blue View Divers. It turned out they were expecting us the day before ...

... walked a bit through the jungle. Then, out of nowhere the jungle opens up into what I am convinced is the most beautiful spot on earth. Huge and gorgeous rock formations surrounded bleach white sand and gorgeous aquamarine water. The sun added to its beauty by pouring in presunset golden hues across the Eastern cliffs and on the water. It was an otherworldly feeling. The mood on the beach is so memorable ...
