phuket (pooh-ket)

ok, so the sunsets were pretty awesome and the water was crystal clear...

the sand was as soft as talcum powder.


ronald is respectful of local customs here in thailand, though still a bit menacing


we looked at (like) some amazing seafood

then we picked out what looked best from the ice and it was cooked for us and then we ate it.

but sadly we give phuket two thumbs down. why, you ask? it was filled with gross people doing gross things and it stank. it was a beach tourist hell for us. everyone comes for the immaculate beaches, and they are amazing but that has created a debaucherous and wasted lifestyle there for travelers to come and and become fools. also the beer was way too expensive for us to want to stay for long.

that said we had an amazing meal from an open air seafood market (see crab above). we swan in the beautiful waters that helped make famous this small island off of the western coast of thailand and saw the best sunsets so far on our little trip. but a couple of days was enough and we carried on to the majestic isalnd of koh phi phi.
