Thailand – Phuket or PUKE- et or Poo- ket…yes either of those last two are fitting.

After a few days in Chang Mai we went on our way to the islands. Our first stop was Phuket since this is where we would be taking the ferry from to get to our other destinations. We decided to stay there for 3 nights because Sophie still had her stitches in and she couldnt go swimming yet.

Phuket seemed like it had the most options for things to do on land since the other islands were all smaller, but really after one night we knew we were staying 2 days too long. It was crowded, dirty, and just plain ole icky but like always we found our fun! Can’t say we will ever go back there but we can say we saw it…so there’s that.

We mini golfed, took some fun tuk tuk rides, went to a night market, found shoelace licorice, got Sophie some cool pants, and Sabi a beautiful dress, climbed rocks to escape the loads of tourists all over the beach, walked around, had my 39th birthday, drank wine on the deck, cooked some dinners, and debated heading back to the mountains thinking the islands might all be this crowded (luckily we didnt, and they weren’t).
