We take the plane, early morning, and fly for 1H30 to Phuket. It is for sure the first time that we take a plane with all our (heavy and huge) staff, without any problem! Thanks to TAT and Bangkok Airways! Photos here

We have a car a bit bigger than other contestants, but nearly no place left for Chai, our liaison guy!

We arrive in the Sukko Spa resort, it is like being in jungle, we have the best comfort ever! Even a private massage place in our room! Photos here

We prepare to make our firsts tasks, and have a lunch in a typicall Thai restaurant. The waiters are laughing, because farangs (foreigners) probably never come in this small restaurant. The food is delicious, fast, and super cheap (we ate more than enough for 40 bahts, less than a euro per personn)!

We arrive in the Phuket Aquarium, and we discover local faune and flora. Also, worldwide fishes, corals shows their beautys! But, to tell the truth, we had the chance to see many of them in real scuba diving opened water recently, and, of course it is not the same taste. Photos here

Our programm brings us to the Phuket Zoo; we spend a few hours, to talk with our friends there. We saw some crocodile shows, with some Indiana Jones Thai style, we saw elephants dancing, even painting, and bicycling… Photos here

Well, to tell the truth, we do not appreciate really zoos, this is a very personnal point of view, but as we are open air people, we do not really like seeing animals in cages. We saw beautifull birds, but they cannot fly…. Pity…

Most of people really enjoyed the shows, so, it is for sure a good attraction for you if you wish it!

Before to explore a bit more the city of Phuket (scheduled for tomorow), we take a bit of altitude (still on the ground) and reach the Khao Rang view point (a nice hill just over Phuket, wonderfull view, and sunset) Do not miss it! It is full of ambiances!

We have a dinner at Baan Klang Jinda the evening, it is one of the most known restaurant in Phuket, and in Thailand! Food was amazing, fine, and tasty! The Chilian wine was also first choice! Emilia get a special vegetarian menu, while Mathieu have a great seafood plate. Photos here

What a day, we felt like we ran 24 hours. It is not finished, we have to report it to you! Emilia had a problem this evening: her charger of computer burned, means that we have now only one computer… Anybody has an idea to get a Toshiba charger in Phuket?

Tomorow, we hope the weather will be good, to show you Phuket city from the sky! We’ll probably do it in the evening, and visit the town during the day!

Have fun!
