Obon holiday vacation (part 2)

For the middle part of our trip we stayed on a beautiful, tropical island called Phuket. The scenery was so beautiful! There were palm trees, blue ocean, and white sand. Our hotel was located right across the street from the beach and had a nice view of the ocean and a serpent shaped shrine. This part of our vacation was mostly spent relaxing but, we did go on a few tours. The first was an island boat tour, to see some of the many small islands in the area. We stopped to feed wild monkeys and go snorkeling. Our second tour was into the forest area of the island where we got to learn about Thai history and go on an elephant ride. Another thing we did was to go to a show called Fantasea, which is one of the biggest shows in Thailand and is based off of Thai history and tradition. It had many dancers, fireworks, and performing elephants. The show was amazing and so was the whole trip to Thailand. I really hope we are able to make it back someday.
