Land of Smiles
Re: Land of Smiles
Struggled to upload photos and post during these 21 days due to the blocks in the internet. VPN rarely work or it was very slow and kept getting attacked. Will continue to post when back in Bangkok.
Finally it’s been a very tiring 21 days time to head home, missed my 2 dogs very much will meet them later.

Re: Land of Smiles
So I did my 3 days holiday in Phuket on May Day. Phuket or southern Thailand is a place that I rarely visit in my 17 years here.
Day 1 - at the Don Mueang Airport in the morning I was surprised it wasn't crowded
My ride
On the way
The Amari Phuket
Very big room
At the bar
Very scenic bar
Did not leave the hotel on the first day in Phuket, had sunset dinner there
Satay
Groupa with sweet and sour sauce
Seafood Thai salad
Tomyam
Yam pork
Over looking Patong Beach
Sunset
Getting dark

Re: Land of Smiles
Night came and it was time for dinner and as this is the first time staying in Patong beach and also the last night for this trip, the decision was to have dinner at Patong Beach and then walk around Patong.
We took a walk along the beach stretch of restaurants looking for a good seafood restaurant but unfortunately found out that almost all the restaurants are owned by Indians, I mean we were not looking for Indian food. So we asked a taxi driver and he took us to one this is originally Thai
On the way to the restaurant
The restaurant
The drink for the evening
Very good clams
Garlic prawns
Steamed fish
Pineapple fried rice
After dinner went to Bangla Road, the Phuket Walking Street

Re: Land of Smiles
The next day 3rd of May was supposed to leave for Bangkok in the evening as I have to catch an early morning flight to China the next day but disaster struck
I took a test because I was feeling very lousy like a bad flu.
Got to cancel my flight back to Bangkok immediately and postpone my China visit.

Re: Land of Smiles
As for my covid this time around it was pretty serious compare to my first more than a year ago where I only had runny nose and itchy throat nevertheless it lasted 11 days. This time round I had very bad cough, very bad runny nose, slight fever and aches all over my body for 3 days where I sleep a lot. On Wednesday when I discovered my Covid I went to visit the Bangkok Hospital in Phuket to consult doctor, get medication and did x-ray. Just in case. Given medicine and told to rest for next few days and when cleared can fly. Also x-ray showed lungs clear so this is a relief.
Got into new hotel for the rest of the duration here
