getting tanned in thailand

We flew from Singapore to Phuket and spent five nights in Karon, a resort apparently favoured by Russian holidaymakers, allowing Jess to practise her eavesdropping skills! The weather was glorious, and both of us made the most of lazing by the pool all day long!

We ate fantastic food - pad thai, tom yum, tom kha gai, red curry, and endless seafood - and went for massages each evening, all at rock bottom prices.

We even braved a fish pedicure, which felt like having our feet tickled for ten minutes - cue much giggling!

Not quite sure why my feet were so much more popular than Jess's...!
