Today we left Phuket Island and headed north to Samet Nangshe, in the Phang Nga region, where we took the boat trip a few days ago. It was a 90-minute drive and therefore took a while to find a Bolt (similar to Uber) driver who would take us. After some help from our villa hosts who talked to a driver, we were all packed into the van and ready to leave the crowds and chaos of Patong. Road rules seem to be a bit of a guideline here, and it was an interesting experience being in the front seat for this journey. I am grateful for my antinausea pills!

I am absolutely blown away by the beauty of this place. Our boutique hotel is set in the hills surrounded by forest and overlooking the stunning Phang Nga Bay. It is so peaceful here.










In the evening we were treated to a spectacular storm which we sat and watched for hours, with wine and cocktails of course.



A slower pace for the next few days, I hope, just to enjoy the beautiful place we find ourselves in.
