Our schedules are usually busy, so a vacation of peace and quiet was great. We walked on the beach, Richard rode his mountain bike, but most of our time was resting and reading. One day we even went to a tin mine museum. (Tin mining, up until 30 years ago, was the economic mainstay of Phuket island. Now its tourism.)
Walking down the street each night to get supper, we were mobbed by vendors trying to get us to buy all kinds of merchandise from tee shirts to pirated DVDs of all the latest movie hits from the USA. (Many displaced Nepalese and Bangladeshi people are now selling instead of Thais at many beaches in south Thailand.)
