It was an interesting ride from the airport... So much to see and take in! We finally made it to our condo and met our Airbnb host, but we were in a rush to head out so we didn't stay long. We wanted to visit one of the night markets which was only open on weekends so this was our one chance. Our driver took us to the Chaofa Variety Weekend Market, and it turned out to be my favorite market of the week. We sat down outside, had our first of many amazing Thai meals, and then shopped well into the night. Collin and Kevin really got into the shopping, looking for fake Rolex watches or "Rolies" as they called them. And Connor had a funny encounter with one of the Thai shop owners who didn't appreciate his constant squeezing of the annoying, honking, rubber chicken. Her repeated phrase of "I tole you get OUT!" became one of our many family jokes for the rest of the week.
The market was super crowded late into the evening. We decided to take a break while we waited for our driver to return for us. We sat down at one of the restaurants and took in the surrounding chaos. It turned out to be a fun first night for us in Phuket and we couldn't wait to see what the rest of the week had in store.
