Phuket's beach is so different from other tropical islands I've visited. The sands are all white, the sea is so clear. The whole place has a natural scent.
There are many water sports but very few people dare to try them. I managed to stand up on a surfboard, which was pulled by a motorboat. It was very exciting and the experience of a lifetime.
The island is a feast of food, many of which I've never tried before.
The names of the food on the menu in Thai language make food-tasting a guessing game. Sometimes when my tour guide was not around, I have simply relied on luck.
Shopping becomes a real pleasure as so many goods are affordable. Since Phuket is rich in tin, I bought a lot of tin products as souvenirs. Tin accessories are all handmade. Tropical fruits and seafood, wow, Bon appetite!
It's a shame that I only stayed there for one day, which didn't give me enough time to travel to other islands. I definitely will find a chance to go back and experience more about this wonderful place.
