I don't know what I am going to do when I can't just hop on a cheap flight or an even cheaper overnight bus to one of the most beautiful tropical islands in the world. I got to spend four days with a close group of nine friends on Phuket celebrating yet another Buddhist holiday. We returned to Jenny's father's home on the island for a completely relaxing stay full of great food and unfortunately rain. The rain didn't stop us from doing too much, but I do wish we could have used the pool more. I mean look how beautiful it is...
We spent plenty of time watching movies, playing games, and cooking American meals (this is a fairly big treat). We went to Patong beach one day for shopping one day and I think everyone walked away with some goodies. Patong is among the touristy beaches in all of Thailand so you can usually find things geared towards Westerners. I was on a mission for a swimsuit and because Thai women don't wear them it has been hard to find one! I finally found one in Patong, but in true Thai style it was from a street vendor where there is no such thing as a changing room. How do you try on a swimsuit without a dressing room you ask? Just look below...
After this little extravaganza I treated myself to a Thai massage with a few of the girls. You really can't be a one hour massage for only $6!
I had a wonderful weekend thanks to these eight wonderful friends!
