PHUKET - Lets not have a bucket!!
... pictures to the blog ASAP!! At one point we stopped at Maya Bay where the beach was filmed and the water was quite choppy so I was feeling MAJORLY seasick - the Thais were still taking photos.

Tsunamis, Ping-Pong, Muay Thai and Waterfights
... New Year festival, and it is traditional for locals and tourists alike to roam the streets with buckets of water, super soakers and fists full of talcum powder in an epic two day battle.
