After the first couple days in Khao Lak, we took a couple motorbikes to Phuket. Phuket was busy busy busy and I had a few speculations as we were driving in, but it proved to be a lot of fun. The beach is super busy and packed, but absolutely beautiful. There is definitely a reason why Phuket is one of the biggest tourist spots. The beach is filled with all sorts of water sports and we were ready to try something out. We opted for spending a good portion of the time playing on a big water playground with trampolines and water totters and rock climbing walls. Then we headed over to a quieter beach that Fern kept calling "the monkey beach" because it has a couple of gibbons there that hang out and play with a little pug. It was very very cute. That silly monkey was very patient with a lot of people. haha They had some swings on the beach that I relaxed on for a little while and then I took a very good nap. haha
That night we checked out the night life. It was crazy, a lot like Pattaya. First we went to a small bar where Ryan ended up playing with the band, then the boys played a game of pool while Fern and I chatted with the waitress and Fern told everybody she was from Malaysia, and then the best part of the night came when we ended up at this really weird club that reminded me of something that would be in space. Fern and I danced the night away with these stripey people. haha
The next day was time to head back to Khao Lak to grab the rest of our stuff and catch a bus to Bangkok. We got there just in time and had to rush to return the motorbikes and get our things. It was a rough bus ride back, but a great trip!
