Okay, so I realize I am in India writing this, and this experience happened in Thailand, but I’ve been really busy and haven’t had time to update this blog.
It’s been getting noticeably chilly here in Thailand, almost uncomfortably so. It?’s also the high season so many tourists are about. For me, it isn’t the most enjoyable time to be in Thailand, especially away from my home and family during the holiday season.
Anyway, I decided to take two vacations, one to Koh Chang (on the eastern coast) and also to Phuket. Both places I had never been to before and both were famous beach getaways. Post-tsunami Phuket I found to be a pleasant international island. Everything along the waterfront had been rebuilt in a manner that reminded me of the Hawaiian island of Maui. This was aided by the fact that most of the tourists were families, with few of the Pattayaian type. Hands down Phuket wins as my favorite beach resort in Thailand.
