Yes, these are my feet!
I'm in Phuket! We left Bangkok this morning and arrived here mid-day and ate lunch near Bang Tao Beach, which was destroyed by the tsunami a year and a half ago. All of the buildings were new, as well as the four-lane road, which replaced the old two-lane street. (This is much safer, considering the way that the Thais drive!)
Tonight we will stay at the Aquamarine Resort and Villa (http://www.aquamarineresort.com/), which is owned by a local Rotarian, and tomorrow we will go into the town of Phuket in order to take part in a celebration to give a new fishing boat to some local fisherman who lost their boat in the tsunami. The boat was made possible by a Rotary Club in Idaho.
As usual, I was a bit confused about the plans. We came down to the beach for dinner and ended up eating in the mall. This was a bit of a strange decision to me considering where we are at, but dinner was great nevertheless, mostly because the travel companions for Ma and I are the President of the Magkang Rotary Club (my host club in Thailand) and another member.
Right now, I'm waiting to go back to the tailor because I am having a suit made for me at a shop owned by a local Rotarian. I placed the order two hours ago and the jacket, trousers, and skirt will be ready for me when I leave on Saturday morning. Total cost= $150. Not half bad for a tailor-made suit.
