Thailand Part 4: Phuket

For the final leg of our trip Matt and I stayed at Sawasdee Village in Phuket from Sat. Nov. 22-Tues. Nov. 25. We stayed in the Kata Beach area, only about a 10 minute drive from the hustle and bustle of Phuket and we really enjoyed the location. Our hotel was a very traditional Thai feel and felt like an escape as soon as you were on the property. This was meant to be the most relaxing part of the whole trip where we just wound down before heading back to London. Matt was actually working remotely on Monday and Tuesday so in Phuket we mostly just saw the hotspots and caught up on some R&R.

On Saturday we drove from Krabi to Phuket and got in around lunch time.  We walked around Kata Beach and got some street food for lunch.  We relaxed at the pool for happy hour and ended our day with dinner and a footrub.

Sunday we rented a moped and went out to explore around Phuket.

Matt tried some bugs...yuck!

We headed to the Patong area for dinner. This is the Vegas of Phuket where the nightlife is at its craziest on Bangla Rd. We ended the night at a few bars on Bangla Rd just to say we went and experienced it.

Monday we just relaxed around the resort. We went to lunch at a place with a great view called After Beach Bar. I explored and did some shopping around the Kata area and got a massage while Matt worked. We ended the night with an amazing dinner in Kata at Eightfold.

Tuesday it was time to fly back to Bangkok to spend one night before returning to the states. We did have time for one last quick footrub (at the airport!) and got to explore Chinatown in Bangkok.

To say Thailand was incredible would be such an understatement...Where we got to celebrate two 30th birthdays, 13 days, 2 cities, 4 islands, 5 temples, 8 massages, 4 markets, elephants, monkeys, tigers, jungles, ladyboys, ziplining, and beaches. Planes, trains, automobiles, taxi's, tuk tuks, longtail boats, mopeds, songthaews and bamboo rafts. New food, crazy nightlife and amazing adventures shared with family and friends! Thailand it was so amazing and I hope we meet again someday!
