Day
3 - Southern Phuket and Elephant Trek
We'll
have breakfast at Kata beach before heading to the southern tip of the
island.
We begin in Rawai, fishing village and beach. Here we can observe
the local fishermen and their 'long tail' boats.
We continue east to Laemka, a secluded little beach known only by
locals. We'll sample some of the delicacies at the market.
A visit to Wat Chalong which was home home to Laung Pho Chaem many years
ago. According to tradition this monk changed sea water into sweet
water.
We'll have lunch at "Don's". You can find any type of
food you like in this oasis frequented by foreign nationals who have
retired here.
After lunch we'll have a little adventure and go on an Elephant
trek. These animals are an integral part of Thailand's economy.
Once again late afternoon is the ideal time for a swim in the sea, this
time at Nai Harn beach on the southern tip of the island.
We go back to the hotel to relax before having dinner at one of the
finest local restaurants - Laab Classic.
A little night life and shopping in Patong where we'll be surrounded by
other tourists. This is where most people go for when they need a
little 'action'.
