I was all prepared to love Phuket beaches just to be contrary to the opinion of the masses. But I just couldn't. We hopped on an awesome bus/tuk tuk hybrid (for the grand sum of 30 baht ~ $1) that took us to Karon beach. Despite Lonely Planet's rave review I was ready to leave after about 3 minutes of standing on the blistering hot sand. Palm trees definitely make a beach for me and there wasn't a single tree to be seen on Karon. We stuck it out for 2 hours and then returned to the comfort of Phuket city.
Kelly and I moved on to the Royal Phuket Marina where we met up with one of her friends from San Diego. After one night on board I think I am a sailing convert. I guess my only hope now is to become independently wealthy to finance these new life goals.
