Look Ma, no tsunami
The low prices were too tempting, so jetted off to Phuket for a 5D4N stay (13 June - 17 June, Patong Bayshore Hotel) at $200 per head.
Included was a half-day city tour. Bought a stingray leather keychain. Went for a 1-day snorkelling trip to Phi-Phi Island and others. Stuffed myself with McDonald's french fries. Took 4 eggs (2 sunny-side up; 2 scrambled with cheese) every morning at the hotel's breakfast buffet. Patong Beach looked none the worse about 6 months after the tsunami; the Thais have worked hard to restore it to pre-tsunami condition.
