Left beautiful and peaceful Chiang Mai to head down to Phuket. We were a bit worried about what the weather would be here (the south being wetter than the north) like but this morning is sunny and warm.
Flew into Phuket at around 5pm and decided to rent a car to make the most of the couple days we will be here. Phuket is a big island, about 50Km long (30ish miles) and it took us quite a while to drive from the airport. Driving on the left at night was a bit nuts. The Thai don't have lanes. Although they are painted on the road, its common to just move in and out of each one as need be. Very aggressive with lots of motor cycles.
We made it down to Kata Beach where we had chosen to stay, given its description of being a little more laid back than Patong - which is a little north up the west coast of the Island from us.
We have a little list going of what we want to do hear, including check out the beach and the Andaman Sea!
