Oh Phuket..before coming here..my friend Adam had warned me against any high expectations I may have had about Phuket and boy was he right!! Complete touristy town, not nearly as much culture compared to Chiang Mai if any and well I definitely won't have to visit again.
The reason why I came to Phuket other than acting as a launch pad for the other islands that I want to visit was to see Phang Nga Bay which i did today. I booked tour with a Canoe company to see the famous James Bond Island and even that was disappointing!! Thank goodness to the guides and our personal guide, Jack as in Jack Sparrow (that was how he introduced himself) haha. Eti (from Paris) and I had a great time ooing and ahing through caves and limestone cliffs as we were on the boat and canoe. The company was great and once our last tour destination was over, the staff went crazy and the cruise boat turned into a riot! haha. "Caberet dancer" and everything!! I wonder how he lost that bet! haha.
Phuket- it can be skipped if you can help it!
On the ride back, the Czech couple was quite interested in me and tapped me on the shoulder to ask if I was traveling alone, where I was from, where else have I gone. They were delighted when I told them that I've visited their country before! Oh the people I meet ... :-). Tomorrow, I am off to Koh Phi Phi for what i hope to be serious beach bumming!
