Paradise Beach again

We do like Paradise Beach. Bit of a corny name, but that's what it's called. Surprisingly, despite the name, it's not that crowded. The beach is just a few miles from Patong, which is the most crowded beach in Thailand. Proves to me that most tourists really cannot be bothered to get off their lazy sunburned behinds!

These photos from June....



 



 

 

A trip to the park

Somehow, incredibly, we had never been to Suan Luang Park until last month. It's a big park on the edge of Phuket City, also called King Rama IX Park. If we want a walk we tend to head for Bang Wad Reservoir (see previous post) or maybe to Chalong Jetty (which is 800m long, so a walk to the end and back is a mile... wow!).

For the sake of my Phuket Blog, I decided to check out the park one morning. I had read that local folks came for exercise, so thought it would be interesting and at the same time I could take a morning walk...

I liked the park, so we all went on Sunday a few weeks ago. On a Sunday afternoon, the park was very busy with walkers, joggers, strollers... much busier than it had been on a mid week morning. These photos are from Sunday 8th June.
