beach bums

Phuket City!

Today is the day we leave the beach for the morning and explore the city life.  We decided that we should see the city considering we were here.  We jumped in a Tuk Tuk (which have I mentioned are the greatest inventions?!  We love them), and head towards the city.  We get there and jump on another Tuk Tuk to do the tourist thing and take it around the city exploring.  It’s great.  We go to a big budda, an amazing scenic top of the mountain place where we can see Chalong Bay and all of the city, and then jet off to a market to see what the locals are into.  The market is crazy, all the clothing is like .50cents!  It’s crazy.  Lots of bardering and lots of people saying lady, shopping, buy this pretty shirt, buy this pretty shoe.  After exploring for awhile (and surprisingly not buying anything) we decided that the market is a bit too full for us and we wanna head back to the beach, to cool down and relax with a well earned beer.  (cause ya know shopping is hard! Haha)  Our tuk tuk takes us back and we jump in the water, grab a chair and a beer and relax for the rest of the day.

As the sun is setting it’s time for us to head back to the hotel, and pick up some food along the way.  It’s been a busy few days, and we are feeling the sun, and heat.  Call it an early night before our last day in Phuket!

 

Phuket City-- again not my pic, it will come eventually!

Last day in Phuket

So today is the last beach bum day we have for a while, so we need to soak up as much sun as we can!  We were going to find a place to rent a long tail boat for the day but it was raining in the am, so we decide to just hit a new beach instead.  Again, jump in a tuk tuk, and we are off to Kata Beach.  What a gorgeous beach, it’s completely different from Patong, it’s relaxed, not too many people, not many vendors (which is GREAT!) and blue blue water.  We might have just found paradise?  Then again, this whole trip seems to be like paradise!  Again grab a couple chairs, throw our stuff down, and hit the water.  The sun has decided to come out and play so we spend hours in the water, only to get out to buy a beer and get back in!  What a great way to spend our last day of beach bum life for a while….next to Bangkok!

Kata Beach...again this is not my pic...mine will come eventually!
