Southern Thailand and the Andaman Coast

Wow, this place is amazing. We spent a day at Patong beach on Phuket (pronouced poo-get) Island and only one word can describe that place: hedonistic. The beach is quite nice though and there were people there from all over the world. Including a 1 to 2 year old half-naked baby boy who was really good at soccer. We kicked the ball with him for a while and we were amazed at how well he was not only running around, but kicking and throwing the ball too! Very funny and memorable.

We caught an early boat to Koh Phi Phi Don, a better smaller and ridiculously beautiful island. That movie The Beach was filmed down here. A true paradise that is a little crowded right now, but we definitely can understand why the whole world would want to be here. We'll hang here for a few days, before rejoining the mainland at climbing heaven at Railay.

'Till next time...
