paradise Phuket!

We had a late afternoon flight to Phuket, so a half day to pack and meet the pornstar for the hour drive to the airport. After far to many uses of “you see” from the Uma, we finally lost her and made our way through check in and to the departure lounge.

Arrived in Phuket as the sun was setting, we were tired and wanted to see our hotel. The drive to the hotel took about 45 minutes, and we arrived at our hotel, the Evason Resort & Spa as darkness was falling. The hotel front looked so nice, a drive through the hotel gardens took us to the front of the hotel, with a small passageway into the reception. It was paradise, decked floor with water running off the back, palm trees and a refreshing welcome drink that was a little on the grim side!

Some poor Thai porter lugged our heavy cases down the wooden steps and gangways to our apartment while we both sat back and watched :)

No sea view but buggered if we cared, the placy was idylic. Rustic and completely authentic, just the place we were after. Off season too which meant supposedly more rain (there turned out to be none), hotter weather and a nearly empty hotel.

We showered, changed and headed down to get some food in one of the 4 restarants… Into Thai.. with views over the sea - not that we could appreciate them, it was dark, but you could hear and smell the freshness of the sea, and we ate spicy chilli pork, served in a bannana leaf, and we drank from weird glasses that leaned over when you put them down!
