Phuket, Thailand – Mar 6

We were glad to make it to Phuket, so we could put an end to Kevin mispronouncing it! We visited Phuket’s largest and most sacred temple which was enormous. They shot off firecrackers to ward off evil spirits. It startled us every time they went off.

Next, we visited a cashew factory. The cashews grow at the bottom of the yellow fruits. They remove the cashews from their outer covering by hand.

Massage places were everywhere. Didn’t get a picture but some had “No Smoking, No Vaping, No Sex” signs outside. Also lots of Gummies and Weed stores as well as 7-11s.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch. Tom Yum Seafood soup, Chicken Satay, Chicken Pad Thai, Beef Fried Rice, 3 sodas, and fresh fruit for $18 US. Things are exceptionally cheap in Thailand.

We loved Phuket. The only drawback was the weather. It was approx. 100 degrees and extremely humid. Next up…Sri Lanka.

      Fooey. Kevin, don’t go changin’!

      Dang the humidity; thanks for giving me a glimpse of Thailand!

      By the way, how long was your bus ride to the Malaysian Capitol a few days ago?

        Hi Paula. It was about a 1-1/4 hour drive from the port to KL. Quicker going back due to less traffic. Prepare for heat!

        Paula – it is so very hot everywhere. The people are lovely wherever we go, the sites are terrific, but it is blazing hot! Mary M

    “We were glad to make it to Phuket, so we could put an end to Kevin mispronouncing it!” LOL – one can only imagine! 🙂

    Looks hot! I read in the paper that a Canadian tourist died of the heat on the beach there a couple of days ago. Yikes! Sounds like a perfect excuse for a nice, frosty beverage 🙂
