Phuket, Thailand
I only spent one night in Phuket, but it was enough to see the pink sunset, try the local curry, dip my toes in the ocean for the first time since the Philippines, and meet an assortment of travellers I’m sure to run into while I make my way across Thailand for the next six weeks (minus a week in Rangoon). I am now on the island of Koh Lanta, drinking a coffee shake, taking in the sea breeze, and slathering on yet another layer of sun cream before a day of doing, quite happily, absolutely nothing.
Every day I thank my lucky stars. Every day.
