Phuket, Thailand

We arrived in Phuket, Thailand on Monday February 6th. This famous resort island is full of beautiful beaches and hotels. We hired a local guy, Anan, to give us a 4 hour tour of the island. We visited some beaches, the cashew factory, a Buddhist temple and the old Phuket Town, ending up back at the ship by the pool.
