You’ll never guess what our hotel offers: free shuttle bus service.
Yet
another example of my unparalleled talent at finding the most difficult
possible way of doing something, only to find out much later that there
was a simpler solution right in front of me all along.
That’s right,
we’ve been walking all this time when there was a shuttle bus right there. In fact, I think we even stepped around
the bus a few times on our way out, so intent were we on completing the
3 km roundtrip walk to Ao Yon Beach, or the 4.6 km walk to Cape Panwa
Village. Yep, I sure earned that university degree; it serves me well.
Regardless,
we were quite thrilled to discover this. The bus comes every two hours
and drops people off at Ao Yon Junior Beach (meaning that it is a far
shorter walk from there to Secret Cove) and to Panwa Bay Village, where we went for dinner tonight. We stopped at Live India for the second time and had some absurdly delicious masala kofka, mixed vegetable korma, and bombai aloo.
And then we walked home. Because that’s what sandy-feet do. They walk. Even when they don’t have to.

January 31st, 2013 - Central Festival, Phuket Aquarium, and the Not-Actually-A-Supermarket Supermarket
Internet, as it turns out, is a lot harder to figure out how to set up when all the instructions are in a foreign language.
I know, I know; you’re asking yourself, “But Lucky, why didn’t you just use Google translate like a normal person? Wouldn’t that have been a better use of the one day’s worth of internet from the front desk that you paid a ridiculous amount for?”
Well, that’s an excellent point you have there. But you see, that would have been too easy. I’m not the type to take shortcuts; if there’s a hard way of doing something, I will find it.
In my defense, though, most of the words I needed translated were actually in pictures and thus couldn’t have been translated by Google anyway.
After a few days of trying to get it figured out on our own, we reached a state of internet-deprivation that we could no longer endure, so we went to the Central Festival mall in Phuket Town to consult the professionals. The professionals being the very nice and very patient ladies at the AIS shop in the mall.
