Thailand is a refreshing change of pace from the nonstop hustle of Manila. In Manila, we were constantly surrounded by people, traffic, noise, and everything else that a city brings. In Thailand (we're in Phuket), we're staying at a relaxing resort miles from any major population centers. We took a day to sit in the pool, swim, relax, and enjoy the pool bar. The bed is extremely comfortable, the shower is amazing, and every need is taken care of. We could not ask for a better atmosphere.
The food in Thailand is fantastic. They have a huge spread every morning with Thai food, fresh fruit and juices, soups, every kind of bread and pastry you can imagine, as well as salads. The price is good (free - thanks SPG Platinum!) and you can eat whatever you want. For dinner, there are 3 restaurants on the resort, 2 of which serve Thai food, and we've been sampling their best since we got here. No complaints from me.
The last few days have been the relaxing respite I needed. This resort has refreshed and revitalized me, and we haven't even had our Thai massages yet. Today we'll be visiting Phi Phi islands (pronounced pee pee) which are supposed to be some of the most breathtaking islands in the world. I'm currently sitting on a speedboat enjoying the beautiful scenery on the 40 km trip out. More to come later.
