Phuket Town

We are spending a week at Phuket as we decided to take a break from Bangkok. Phuket is very popular with tourists especially Russian tourists who are still travelling despite the low Ruble.

I met a couple of Latvians who flew to Bangkok on a $200 Euro return tickets. The cheapest ticket I can get these days is $1500 CDN return , Ottawa to Bangkok. I have always felt North Americans get ripped off in airline tickets!

The resort is beautiful and I will post some pics in the near future.

A Thai friend came by with a truck so we headed off to Phuket Town and Patong Beach. Afterwards our Thai friend took us to a local tourist spot I had never been too.  There were many tour buses and people from all over the world, many from China.

The tourist spot was a retired Light House with a commanding view of the ocean and sunsets. Unfortunately there was low cloud cover which messed up the sunset photo ops.

However, there was still some nice scenery to shoot on my Note 3.
