Phuket Scouting Mission

Two weeks ago, Doris and I went to Phuket, Thailand for a few days. Phuket (careful—it’s pronounced “Poo Ket”) is only about an hour plane ride south of Bangkok and has some of the most beautiful beaches we’ve ever seen. Our main purpose for going, though, wasn’t to loll around on the beaches, but rather to scout the surrounding area out for a trip we plan to make there again next February. That’s when Kurt/Karen/Peter and Jeff/Katy are coming to Thailand for a visit. We will spend a few days in Bangkok and then head to Phuket to enjoy the scenery together.

One of the highlights of our trip was the sunsets and rolling waves that we enjoyed watching. I got a little carried away with snapping pictures of these, and I’m inserting only a few of the many I took.

That's Doris in the picture on the right, standing next to a lifeguard hut.

We went snorkeling on a day-long trip to Phi Phi Island (yes, it’s pronounced “Pee Pee”), during which we also visited some of the nicest beaches we had ever seen.

In the picture below, Doris is feeding the fish off the side of the boat.

The shots above and below are of the resort we stayed in.
