After 2 ½ months of nearly non-stop travel and sightseeing, we decided we wanted a break, so we went back to Thailand for five days on the beach in Phuket. We spent the first three in Karon Beach, where we rented a nice bungalow right off the town’s main street for $18 per night. We spent the days reading, swimming, and relaxing, and the evenings going out to dinner and bars with live music. One evening, we stayed in to make grilled cheese sandwiches and watch TV. For the past two days, we’ve been in Patong, Phuket’s most famous tourist spot filled with fast food chains, kitschy souvenir shops, and seedy nightclubs. Patong was definitely not among our favorite destinations – we probably wouldn’t go back, but we had fun seeing the many tourists and spectacles, and going out dancing. We are in the airport waiting to board our flight to our next country: Malaysia. After looking forward to our travels for so long, it’s hard to believe we are already done with Taiwan, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar. We miss our family and friends back home, but we are having such an amazing time, and feel so lucky to have the time and opportunity to take this trip together.
