Phuket and Raya Island

Sunday we rented a van to take us from Krabi to Phuket.  Our hotel folded our towels for us.



Tanner still wasn't feeling well.  He stayed at the hotel to rest while Brad and I went to get lunch.  Brad ordered a coconut smoothie and they served it in the coconut shell.


Brad and I then walked down to the beach.  There were a lot of shops along the way.  The beach there wasn't very impressive (compared to the others we had seen that week).  After that brief walk we decided that Phuket is a lot like Krabi but more pushy, crowded, dirty and expensive.  If we did the trip again we'd just spend all our time in Krabi.  That evening Tanner joined us and we went to dinner at a sandwich shop.  We found these gems along the way!



Our last full day in vacation Tanner continued to rest and Brad and I went to Raya Island.  We took a speed boat 30 minutes south of Phuket.  We were one of the first boats that got there so it wasn't very crowded.  








We spend a couple hours on the beach.  Brad and I even got to FaceTime with some of our family while we hung out on the beach.  After our beach time we went snorkeling and had lunch.  There was more beach time after lunch, but Brad and I were feeling done.  It was getting really hot by then and the beach was really crowded!  We ended up going to a little gelato shop and eating it realllly slowly.  

That evening, Tanner joined us and we went to Pizza Hut and walked around a little bit.  We turned in early that night since we had to fly out early the next morning.  Overall I'd call our vacation a success!
