On Saturday we had a 7:30 pick up from our hotel in Bangkok and took a Bangkok Airways flight to Phuket. Another airline of the world ticked off for Connor he was very impressed with the flight and had his first trip on an A320 so all good except no merchandise in his price range! A van to our resort at Karon Beach and we arrived about 1pm. Checked in and straight to the pool. V hot and steamy. Lovely to get in the pool and cool off. Had our first pool snacks of the holiday and then the thunder and rain came. Lasted 10mins while we huddled under umbrellas and waited it out. Steamier after the rain. Early drinks and dinner with the only planning being to suss out which massages we would each have to kick off our holiday here.
