Phuket Photos

Patong Beach, Phuket Island. It may not be quite the picture perfect Thai island, but it's not bad! Perhaps less busy than could be expected as it's low season. This is supposed to mean lots of rain, but since we've been here there's been none at all for a change. Just absurdly low hotel rates! And below you can see sunset over Patong Beach. As I said, not bad at all.



Some of our first scuber-diving endeavours... You can see a nice friendly moray eel which I spotted trying to hide in a cave in the coral. And just to prove we did do it there's a nice shot of us hovering (elegantly?) above the reef! It is really pretty down there - very silent and still... a totally different world.
