A beautiful little beach located at the southern end of the west coast of Phuket. These photos of the beach were taken Friday morning, before the beach go-ers showed up. We returned on Sunday afternoon, and there were quite a few people there, but nowhere near the large crowds seen on Kata and Patong. We […]

December 29, 2008: Today we went to Phuket FantaSea for my birthday! It’s a cultural theme park, with a Disneyland-meets-Vegas feel, and elephants everywhere, instead of Mickey Mouse.
