We were able to get a good view of our condo resort and the surrounding area. Right past the resort were these fun rope swings along our walk to breakfast that Connor and Kaitlynn ended up enjoying all week.
The hotel where we ate breakfast was small but offered an American-style breakfast buffet along with Thai dishes as well. The cook-to-order omelettes were the big hit but we all enjoyed the Thai egg dish and daily pastries as well. We ended up eating breakfast there every day of our trip and got to know the hotel workers. Even by expensive hotel standards, our all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet was only about $50/day for all 6 of us. We always left with full bellies and big smiles.
Since it was our first full day in the area, we decided to hang around the condo, enjoy the beach/pool, and explore the nearby shops and stores. It was a relaxing and bonding day for the family. So many laughs as the kids challenged Jeff to a swim-off followed by countless shoulder pyramids and flips. They ALMOST managed to get all 4 kids in a pyramid. So close!
Maybe one of my favorite memories of the entire trip was our first Thai lunch on the beach, just a short walk from our condo. We just walked over, sat down facing the beach, and enjoyed authentic Thai dishes that were all delicious. Well, except for Kaitlynn...she stuck with chicken nuggets most of the trip, ha! I asked our waitress to take our picture and I just couldn't love it any more. Sunkissed faces and big smiles with our toes in the sand...the perfect first day as a family in Phuket followed by a drink on the balcony watching the beach sunset.
