Phuket
Day 1: Getting there
We grabbed a flight from Don Mueang in Bangkok to Phuket in Southern Thailand taking around an hour followed by a forty minute van trip courtesy of our Hotel provider Andamantra Resort around 250 meters from Patong Beach.

Day 3: Sail, Snorkel and Sunset Cruise
This was our main event on this trip, organised by my cruise-director wife. After a quick coffee and shower we were ready for our pick-up at the resort at 7:00am. On the water from Chalong Pier by 9:30am we headed for around an hour's cruise to Koh Racha where we had a wedgie burger (that's the one you wedge in between breakfast and lunch--when you didn't have breakfast to begin with). Then it was back on the boat for a quick snorkel and lunch including gai tort (fried chicken), a cauliflower casserole for the vegetarians and Khor king gai (dry mince chicken curry) and steamed jasmine rice--aloi. Then it was off to our next stop of the day Koh Hey for around an hour and then back on the boat for some fishing and sunset. Awesome day out!
Sailing Aqua Man
We commenced our day-trip aboard the Aquaman, an Ocean Voyager 78 Day Charter Catamaran.
Happy wife, Happy life.

I think the most beautiful beach we've been to in Thailand.
Koh Racha Yai
After a few hours at Koh Racha Yai it was back to Aquaman for a spot of snorkelling and lunch.
Sunset at Koh Hey
As we eased our way around the point at Koh Hey my wife was in the prefect sport for a sunset photo.
