Phuket

     I LOVE PHUKET!  It was a wonderful few days down in the South of Thailand.  My cousin had business there and allowed me to be a tag-a-long and I am sure glad I was!  What an experience!  Firstly, we stayed at Dewa Hotel and it was so awesome!  I definitely felt like I was living in luxury.  Unfortunately I have a knack for losing things, so the second I got to the hotel, this happened...

These men were sawing off my lock because I lost the keys.  = /

This is the sink area.  The whole bathroom was outside.

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HOTEL!!!

     Our hotel was right above the beach, but it was a short walk to the little street of restaurants and shops in front of Nai Yang Beach.  The beach was absolutely beautiful.  The Adaman Sea was the most stunning shade of blue.

I was enjoying mine as well.

 First touch of the Andaman Sea.

 Footballers on their cans, I love!  Chang Export, new favorite beer.

 Paradise!

 Best lunch ever!

     Most of the towns people were very nice.  A few were a bit too pushy trying to sell things.  One mini mart was incredibly over priced, but I really enjoyed all of the restaurants I went to.  What was interesting though was the fact that most of the restaurants were serving hamburgers, pizza, pasta and all sorts of "American" foods along with their Thai food.  Who the heck wants to go to the beautiful beaches of Thailand and eat a burger?  I don't know...  I guess they just have to be accommodating to all the tourists and some eat stupidly?  HAHA

 Look at that water!

 Goal of the day accomplished!  Drinking from a coconut on the beach.

I know that Phuket is one of the biggest tourist places in all of Thailand, but the pictures speak for themselves!  A must go place!
