We had a mammoth 28 hour journey to reach Patong from Siem Reap in Cambodia. We took two taxi's, an overnight train, the metro, two buses and finally a tuk tuk to reach our final destination. Boy, it was a loooogggg trip, but the kids handled it really well, we extremely lucky they are such good travellers!
We spend Mia's 6th birthday in Patong. All she wanted to do for her birthday was stay in a nice hotel (hence the Baumanburi), go for a swim in the pool and buy a drink from the bar which you could swim up too, go to Macca's for lunch, then have a picnic dinner... She's got simple tastes, our girl (bless her).
Well, what can you say about Patong? It's busy. It's full of tourists. It's full of shops. It's full of bars. It soooo wasn't for us! After 3 days in Patong, we headed further south to beautiful Kata. This part of Phuket is lovely... Even though it was still relatively busy, it somehow still seemed quite and peaceful. We had a great time in Kata just chillin' at the beautiful beach, which had crystal clear water and soft powdery sand. In the evenings, we dined at some fantastic restaurants which served the freshest fish and seafood. We enjoyed Kata so much, we extended our stay by a few days, but who could really blame us? It was a little piece of paradise...
