Day 10: Phuket - Old and New

We woke up early in Ko Samui to catch our flight to Phuket. The flight even included breakfast
Arriving in Phuket saved us some money thanks to moms lonely planet book. We caught the city bus for 10% of the cost of a cab. We headed to the old town of Phuket city. It has a portugese architecurtural feel. We stopped at another mall/bizaare Phuket square. Chelsea found a fewitems for herself. Of course we got lost inside again.

It was a sweltering 40degrees. We walked a few more clicks to catch the bus to Rawai a beac side
community in the southern most part of Phuket. We checked into a resort once again recomended by the book. Cheap, has a pool outside our door, on the beach, and even have local fruit in the fridge.... Perfect! We decided to make this base camp for the next three nights. We finally picked up a moped so we could get to the different beaches and such.

Tomorrow is the start of
Songkhran which is the Thai new year.
