Phuket for a day














Phuket was always a travel must on my list.  The chance to be there for a day just sold me on the idea (and I can be stubborn) that I am definitely going back!  Phuket has not seen the last of me.

The elephants were beautiful and majestic.  It just pained me to see them and the way they are trained.  There should be a better way to spread awareness without hurting them so.  Though I did fall into such a touristy trap, elephants are not exactly a common thing in my part of the world.  Being on them just makes you realize there are bigger and better things in the world.  Its just takes a different level to experience such.

Aside from the generic tourist traps we easily fell into, Thailand has always been known for its food.  Pad thai is probably my favorite of all as cliche as it may be.  So happy I was actually able to try the real street deal.  Authentic, cooked by the road side with no tables or chairs, surrounded by other locals and vendors with different fares.  Thats the kind of adventure I want and I am going back for more!  Redundant much?

If I go into the gritty details, this is blog is going to sound like a tour itinerary.  So will leave the pictures to talk for themselves.
