Sunday lunch at Nai Yang 10th May.

Today I am looking back once again to our first Sunday on Phuket.
After present time, Jamie took us and the children out. Mam felt she had a lot of ironing to catch up on and so she stayed at home this time.

First we went to the Thalang Museum which looks at Phuket history - the tin mining which brought Chinese immigrants and the first Phuket wealth and also the conflicts with the Burmese and how 2 young Thai women led the defence against the invaders and tricked them into running away. There is a monument to the 2 heroines.

Then we went to Nai Yang, a beautiful beach on the west side of the island.

We chose a great place to eat, known as Batik Seafood.




We walked amongst the flowering shrubs to reach our table in the shade by the beach.


From the beach up to the tables.


Time for a little run around on the beach whilst waiting for the food.


Contented old folks!

Contented old folks with the little Monkeys!


Naturally I was contented, with green curry to ladle over my rice.


A plate of beef, chopped nuts and cabbage with a sweet spicy sauce.


John with his food - chicken and rice.


Jessica tucks in with gusto.


After the children had finished they played in the sand by our little pavilion.


Later, of course, we all played on the sandy beach.
Pictures on the beach tomorrow.
