One of the perks of living in Singapore is having all of Asia on your doorstep. For our first holiday the hardest part was deciding where to go, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong Vietnam, Japan they're all on the wish list of places we'd like to visit. So, after trawling the internet we decided Phuket, Thailand was a good place to start.
We spent a week in Phuket, the climate was perfect at 29-31c and being less humid than Singapore was wonderful.
We planned a relaxing week, catching a few of the sights without too much running around. A trip to the weekend market where you could buy anything from Gucci to Billabong if only the Real McCoy and Splash Planet kept the boys entertained for a few hours. A speed boat trip to Phi Phi Island was amazing (aside from the white knuckled boat ride to get there). James and Alex loved diving off the boat into the sea where the movie 'The Beach' was filmed. And finally a trip to Thailand wouldn't be complete without a massage and cooking class.
We loved Phuket so much that we might have to keep Thailand on the wish list for a return visit one day.
