Phuket 2001

May 4, 2001
What a beautiful approach over the Andaman Sea, a quick exit from the airport to the cab and soon we're installed in our hotel room right next to the kitchen. The Banyan Tree resort is a beautiul place. it reminds me of the Four Seasons at Jimbaran in Bali, but it's a lot more noisy. Within an hour we're moved into our new bungalow. We're very happy.

For the next few days we indulge in days on the beach, hours in the spa and sweaty rounds of golf. We listen to the golfers curse and yell “good shot” on the golf course. Sound travels far at the Banyan Tree.
We have a breakfast of fresh roasted muesli with yoghurt and Chang Mai honey that turns our to be corn flakes with weak yoghurt and english honey.  But the coffee was really good. And the dinner of lobster tails, calmari, pasta with seafood and coconut ice cream. Mmmmm

Sun at the beach where Gigi was the national Geographic poster girl for the young Thai boys as they stole secret glances at her naked white body.
