PHUKETT DAY #1
FEBRUARY 9, 2015
Our
flight this morning left quite early. We
had the car/mini-bus pick us up 5:30am and we arrived at the airport and made
our flight which left at 7:40am.
We
landed in Phukett, Thailand at 9:40am and we had a driver from the hostel
pre-arranged to pick us up. We found an
ATM and got money and drove through the winding streets. The kids counted about 17 7-11 stores and were dreaming of “slurpees”
but they don’t make them at these 7-11 stores. We
stayed at the “Baan Kamala Hostel” and it worked out great! We received a warm welcome and a glass of herbal tea. We got all checked
in and then went and ate lunch at a little restaurant across the street. We then walked to the beach to just take a
look. We were walking distance to the beach and to the “Fantasea” cultural park. It was a good location for us.

For
the evening, we went to the “Fantasea Show and Dinner” and we had a great time! It was a cultural theme park for tourists,
but it was fun to walk around. We went
to the huge buffet dinner and the kids ate and ate and ate! Because we were a large group, we sat on one
side of a great dining hall all by ourselves!
That mean we didn’t have to share the food with anyone! We had delicious Black Pepper Beef and the “Chocolate
Rumbles” were incredible!!! Dad even
went back and asked them to put out more!!!
On the way into the show, we started to get pictures taken but then we
figured out that they wanted instant payment for them so we stopped really
fast! The baby tigers weren’t there yet
so they told us to come back after the show.
The program was really great! It
told the story of about Kamala, which is the beach area where we stayed, and it
had elephants, dancers, trapeze dancers in the air above us and was very
entertaining and enjoyable. After the
show, we went back and the kids had pictures taken with a baby tiger and we
made our way back to the hostel. It was
a great evening.
