Today we go back to Phuket for our plane ride back to Bangkok tomorrow morning. Needless to say it was a melancholy morning in the sand and water before we got the 3:30 ferry back to our least favorite place.
Getting to ferry was an adventure in itself, the water was particularly choppy and making the jump from the longtail onto the ferry was a bit treacherous. Emma almost fell off of the ferry, and Sam's water bottle exploded rather hilariously as he climbed onto the longtail. We survived, and after some amazing ocean views from the boat, two hours later we were back at the Phuket dock.
We were surprised to find that our ferry had arranged transportation from the docks to our hotel, and we made our way to Tanamas House near Naiyang Beach.
This part of Phuket is a place we actually enjoyed. Our hotel was a nice little bungalow about 2 KM from the beach and 5 minutes from the airport. The staff was fantastic and shuttled us to and from the beach, and to the airport free of charge.
We made our way down to the beautiful and clean beach just in time to enjoy the last few minutes of a miraculous sunset, and indulged in a seafood dinner in the sand. There were enormous king prawns, duck satay, and pineapple fried rice (my island favorite). It was delicious, but a little pricey, and we had to run to the atm to make the check. Oops.
We jumped to conclusions about Phuket. We now know to steer clear of Patong, and find the nicer places the island has to offer.
