Phuket, Russia

Left Phi Phi back to Phuket but this time settled in Karon Beach south of Patong. Decided to stay in a large kid friendly hotel with multiple pools and waterslides. The kids thought it was great and gave them some time with other kids away from us. The hotel itself was little Moscow with hundreds of Russians (most avoiding conscription I am guessing). We used this time to go on another jet ski tour around the islands off Phuket. Another fun day on the water made a little more interesting and frustrating at the same time with some Israelies that didn't have the best ski control (back story here). Can't say I would return to Phuket, the traffic is slow and getting anywhere takes longer than it should. Would definitely explore the surrounding islands though.Read more
