On our trip back to Thailand several years ago.. way before we had Mr. Z, we went to Phuket and Phang-Nga for a short visit. It was before the tradegy of Tsunami hit Thailand. I haven't been back since but I have heard that everything is now back to normal. The trip was my first trip to visit Phuket myself.. I know.. Shame on me even though I lived in Thailand for over half my life but I have yet to fully experience what my birth country has to offer.The trip started at Phuket resort and we hired a tour guide (since we also traveled with Mr. Rojo's parents) to take us to James Bond Island. It was named James Bond Island because one of the Bonds movie was shoot here.. I'm not the die-hard 007 fan so I couldn't really tell which one. I don't know if Miss J will remember any of the trip but it was one of the fun trip. We rode on the small engine boat. It was just a bit bigger than a canoe with seats for probably 10 people. We also made a quick stop at the Floating Fishing Village for lunch. I wish we could have stayed longer. I couldn't wait to bring Mr. Z back there one day.

I'll be right there in a week! Brandon's first time to Phuket and my first in 10 years (well, a day trip to Phang-gna after the tsunami doesn't really count...) Will take you a picture there too. :)
Wait. That skinny thing in the foreground is an island? Trippy!
That -is- trippy!
I'll bet the boat trip was fun, though. That's my favorite thing to do when I travel, take a boat trip...any sort of boat trip will pretty much do :)
We had such a lovely time in Thailand in 2001, and I'd love to make it back too... thanks so much for sharing.
This is awesome! If I make it to Thailand this summer I am definitely going to this island!
what fun! who knew they'd name an island after him?
James Bond island, eh?
Globalization is certainly changing the face of the world!
