We spent most of Monday March 7th, 2011 on a flight from Tokyo to Singapore and then a connecting flight to Phuket, Thailand. We arrived late at night and were really tired and couldn’t wait to get to the hotel which was about 45 minutes away. We got our first taste of the driving which is CRAZY! First almost everyone uses mopeds or pickup trucks, I’m assuming because they are the vehicles you can fit the most people in/on. When someone wants to change lanes they pass over the middle line into oncoming traffic and pass the car that way. They honk at everything...when passing a car/moped, when changing lanes or going through traffic lights to name a few. We finally got to the resort and were greeted with a welcome drink made of the national flower. The resort was really nice and was at the southern tip of Phuket and looked out over the bay. We spent most of the next day relaxing and swimming in the pool. They had a restaurant in the resort where we had some really great dishes but unfortunately we forgot to take pics of them.
