Well, we have caught up on our sleep after our overnight bus ride to Phuket. We have been spending some time getting to know the area that we are staying in presently, and getting used to the massive tourist trap that is Phuket. We are currently staying near Karon Beach, which is absolutely gorgeous, which explains why it is so popular and crowded. Regardless of the masses, we have been walking around, doing some touristy type things, and enjoying the hot hot weather and our renewed tans.
I am excited to start writing about what we have been doing here so far, but I must leave those for future posts. Monday Montage is about the pictures, and here they are… Thanks for reading and sharing in our journey!
Our last day in our villa in Hua Hin, Zoë decided that our large suitcase was her new bed. I see cheaper flights in our future. 🙂
A whole bunch (herd?) of cows that are let to graze near the 711 in Khao Tao. They are so calm and peaceful, it almost lulls me to sleep.
Chad and Zoë are welcoming everyone to the Year of the Horse. Happy Chinese New Year (a bit belated now).
Long tail boats on Karon Beach, Phuket, Thailand. Pictures cannot do this beach’s beauty justice. These are the Thai beaches I was waiting for.
We watched the American Football Superbowl this morning at a sports bar around the corner from our house. I was taken aback when I saw that the commentators were Thai and that there was that much interest in American football here. Also, for those that know how good the Super Bowl commercials usually are, we didn’t get to see any of them. All the commercials were Thai as well! You would think we were in Thailand or something, haha.
In the suitcase! So cute! And the Superbowl! How interesting that there were Thai commentators! The beach looks lovely! Thanks for the shots!
Thank you for looking at them. 🙂 Hope you are starting to warm up in your neck of the woods!
I wish! But I’m feeling much, much better so it’s not quite so overwhelming! 🙂 I’m living warm through you guys!
I am so glad to hear you are feeling better! I wish I could send you some of the sun.
The beach looks delicious right about now! Looking forward to the stories
They make me drool almost as much as your cooking/baking posts! 🙂
Awe thanks! 🙂
The beach! How I miss summer and I really need to visit Thailand in the future!
What is the weather like in the Philippines right now? I assumed it was warm too. 🙂
Warm! We are at 29C and very humid but I’ll take this any day. It rains every now and then which I do not like at all. 🙂
I am not a huge fan of the rain either, although hot rain is better than cold rain any day. 🙂
The picture of the beach with the boats would look greaton the wall! Looking forward to your stories!
Thank you!
Beautiful pics! Chinese New Year spans 15 days. It’s not belated 🙂 look forward to your updates on places in Phuket!

Perfect! Thank you!
Haha. (In Thailand or something.)
Looks like a great place to hole up for a little while. If you make it down here, let me know!
We are booked to be there on 2/14-2/19… We got an Airbnb place for pretty cheap, near the circle mrt (I think?). I figured anywhere on the mrt line would be ok.
Yes very true. Which station are you near?
I guess it’s about a 5 minute walk from Marymount station.
Nice! Easy to get to Botanic Gardens and McRitchie Reservoir.
Zoe in the suitcase 🙂 So cute! Blackberry #1 loved suitcases when he was little 🙂 The beach looks amazing! How long are you in Phuket for?
We are here indefinitely, meaning that we don’t have another plan yet.:) we move to a different part of the island this week to check it out.
Love the pics and the updates!
Thanks mom!
