Another island down

Am on Phuket - another island I can cross of my list of world islands. Decided to fly down from Bangkok - faster than the train/bus combo and cost about $60 on Air Asia.

I was expecting lovely beaches - what I was not expecting were the rolling hills and all the greenery. This is quite a lovely island - can see why it is a destination for travelers from around the world. Picked Kata Beach as our home base on the island - some say that it's the best beach in Thailand. Spent the day in the water - fantastic - other than the jelly fish (?) stings. Whatever was causing the stings was cleared out as the tide went out - so quite fun splashing around this afternoon.

The more I see of Thailand, the more I like it.
