My Trip to Phuket Island and Hong Kong – Part 2: The First Day in Phuket

Phuket is one of the southern provinces of Thailand. It lies off the west coast of mainland Thailand in the Andaman Sea. The island was on one of the major trading routes between India and China, and was frequently mentioned in foreign ships' logs of Portuguese, French, Dutch, and English traders, but was never colonised by a European power. It formerly derived its wealth from tin and rubber and now from tourism. (from wiki)

Since I arrived at the hotel at night, I didn't see the face of the hotel until the next morning. Andaman Seaview Hotel was a Portuguese-style building.

On this day I watched the elephant show, and the monkey show.

The monkey snatched the bow from my hair while I wasn't paying attention, and the tour guide took advantage of the monkey's pride and quickly snatched the bow back from the monkey. The monkey was very angry because of its failure. At this time, it was holding a tourist's glasses. A tourist didn't give money after taking pictures with the monkey, but the monkey snatched the glasses.

Later, I visited how to cut rubber.

After returning to the hotel, I swam in the hotel pool.
