Phuket
Pic (our rather well appointed hotel)
We are taking a little holiday within a holiday to indulge in some well needed rest and sunbathing. Our location is Kata beach on the south west corner of Phuket island. Kata town is 5 minutes walk away, Kata beach is 5 minutes walk away , everything else is within arms reach.
Our rather nice hotel is on the headland overlooking the beach and is equipped with everything (pools, jacuzzi, sauna, spa, gym - everything a true backpacker needs !).
The hotel boasts many services, one of which is the free loan of a DVD player for the length of your stay - just what we need to watch our knock-off DVDs - purchased in Vietnam for the bargain price of $1 per DVD with the added extras of Vietnamese voiceover (one lady covers all ages and genders) or Russian subtitles - all new releases too.
Something new that we haven't come across before are signs on the beaches indicating Tsunami evacuation routes (inland and to higher ground) and other signs further inland indicating Tsunami Evacuation Rescue points.
We intend to lounge here until Sunday 18th June and will surface again once we have completed our restoration process of facials, chocolate body wraps and massage.
