Soi Sakdidejana, Phuket, Thailand

For our 2nd week in Phuket, we moved to a different apartment on another part of the island.  I planned our accommodations through Air BnB, so I did not know the exact address until after the reservations were made. Normally this is not a problem, but sometimes it creates issues.  I thought this apartment was closer to the city of Phuket Town, but it turned out to be much farther down the island near Cape Panwa.  It was not close enough to walk to shops or restaurants, but luckily we were able to easily rent a car for 5 days while we were here.  On the positive side, the apartment was great, we had a large deck, and the girls loved the pool.

Driving in Phuket was interesting. They drive on the other side of the road than the US, scooters and motorcycles speed by everywhere, and I couldn’t read most street signs.  I was a bit hesitant to drive in these circumstances for the first time in 5 months, but it turned out to be a pretty fun adventure.

Baan Teelanka, or The Upside Down House is a tourist spot that I first saw on an episode of The Amazing Race.  It was definitely silly and a bit ridiculous, but the girls enjoyed it.
