On Friday we flew nok air from Phuket back to Bangkok. Before we could get there though our transport to the airport was stopped by a local parade through a town. Note the photo of the queen. They’re everywhere – but I’ll talk more about that in a later blog.
We still reached the airport, where I mailed several postcards (all of which still had not arrived at their destinations two weeks later). You can actually see the beach from the terminal.
We went back to Sam’s friend’s house for a bit to prepare for the next leg of our journey. Below is the view from her guest room.
After packing we walked to the local Japanese market to eat dinner.
Around 8pm we took a cab to sam’s sister and her husband’s home on the other side of town. The next day they would drive all of us up to the northern part of the country where we would spend most of the rest of our trip.
