Phuket Holiday

We have returned from our holiday in Phuket refreshed after a lovely week. As I have said previously, the accommodation was excellent and the facilities superb. The kids pool was complete with slide, water jets etc and this took a couple of days for them to get even slightly bored with what was on offer. As with most kids clubs these days, they are separated into a 'teens' room and a play area, where game stations are available, or even plain old paper and pencils. As could be predicted, the boys lurk around the games consoles while the girls get to know one another over the drawing table. lol

The hotel provided a circus school activity which involved trapeze training, and a few other not quite so exciting activities. Beth loved it (as you can imagine). Below is a photo of her on the trapeze.


Thailand is well known for its massage culture. On the beach you could get a proper thai massage, John made the most of this, I only tried it the once and I have to say that whilst it was nice it was also painful at times. We also partook in a family massage session when in Patong. We all had a foot massage, the kids' first! Lawrence then proceeded to ask for one on a daily basis. Spoilt or what?


On a couple of the days we hired a car and drove around the island. Very small island, and easy to get around. I have heard that the beauty of Phuket has been spoiled by the number of tourists, I am sure this is true, but it was a very enjoyable break and we will definitely visit Thailand again.
