Arrival in Phuket

Saturday afternoon, 8 December

I arrived in Phuket, Thailand late yesterday afternoon. Phuket ("poo-get") is an island off the west coast of southern Thailand on the Andaman Sea. It is about 30 long by 12 miles wide with a population of 82,000 not including tourists.

This morning I took a brief walk around the Marriott Resort & Spa. It is the only development on a 8 mile long sandy beach on the northwest shore of the island.

This a look north and south on the beach:



There was a baby elephant wandering among the beach chairs! :
And elephant statues bordering the pool:

More later. I'm gonna relax.
