My parents and sisters came to spend a week in Phuket. I took the southbound bus and soon found myself in the company of my beloved family in possibly the most luxurious hotel I have ever seen. They were still tired from the trip and napped while I took a walk to explore the beach, three swimming pools (one had a swim-up bar!) and decadent rooms. The hotel had a fantastic brunch buffet and a baby elephant named Jumbo who spent each morning visiting each pool and the beach to play with hotel guests.

We spent several days enjoying the luxuries at the resort and ventured into Phuket town for shopping and dinner towards the end of the week. I made reservations for Mom and Dad to have Thai massages. I think they were a little worried going into it, but they came back refreshed and raving about the wonders of Thai massage (it really is a phenomenal experience for those who haven’t had the opportunity).
On the final day we rented a car and drove up to Kamphuan. I really enjoyed showing my family around the village. We took a trip up to the waterfall to go for a swim, visited the local beaches, and ended the day with a delicious seafood dinner in Kura Buri. I was sad to see my family leave, but I was delighted that they came so far to visit me in Thailand. I think they enjoyed their time here, as short as it was!
