Today was a travel day, catching a quick tuk-tuk to the airport and a long day of air travel to Phuket, an island in the far southwest of Thailand. After a 3 hour layover bookended by 2 one-hour flights, Our ultimate destination was Hat Nai Yang Beach--home of a Marine National Park and little else.
It's amazing how few people are here, as we dined on our Thanksgiving Dinner literally on a table on the beach with no one else in sight (other than the workers). Due to the appearance that no one on this island has heard of "turkey," our dinner for the holiday was Yellow Curry with Crab, Fried Rice with Fresh Crab, Phad Thai with Prawns, spring rolls, a bottle of white, and Banana Pancake with Honey for dessert. No pumpkin pie or stuffing, but it was quite delicious. All this, and an A+ sunset to watch from our table. Believe it or not, our total bill for this feast was about $23, by far our priciest dinner of the trip. Still quite cheap, as the food was among the better meals I've had in a long time.
The sky was bright red for sunset as we sat down, as layer upon layer of clouds provided the perfect backdrop for the sky. Please, I hope the pictures turn out!
