Kata Beach in Phuket is about an hour south of the airport. The hotel was beautiful, right on the water.
I went to dinner across the street, where I had a great Phuket lobster - kind of like a Caribbean lobster.
For the next three days I sat by the pool, relaxed, read, did crosswords, listened to my book on CD, and had a few more massages. They were even cheaper in Phuket than Bangkok - about $6.50. If the airfare wasn't so high, I would come back twice a year. One thing I didn't try was the fish spa. You place your feet in a large fish tank, and watch as the fish eat your dead skin away. It looked like fun, but I passed.
I did pass the Premium Discount Outlets on the way from the airport, and they have the same stores as our discount outlets.
On my final day I had two massages - a Thai massage after lunch, and an oil (Swedish) massage after dinner. I know I'm going to have massage withdrawal soon.
Here are some of the many orchids in the hotel lobby.For dinner I treated myself to a two pound lobster - great, but I still prefer Maine.
