Phuket & Khao Lak - Family Fun

During before and after the Phuket Triathlon I was also having heaps of family fun. The race is always a focal point of these holidays but is also the excuse to have them in the first place. I wasn't always the best at combining the two but hopefully over the years I have improved and better balance the race and the family holiday. (Chris Wayman has led by example on this note, credit where credit is due - thanks Chris).

So here are some pictures of us all in Phuket and then at our friend Minni's Resort in Khao Lak (an hour north of Phuket).

Having fun while at the Sheraton Laguna Resort in Phuket. Each of the five hotels is on a series of lagoons that you can travel between by hotel boat taxi - very cool. Also a kids club where Sid and Seb had fun.




























Chilling out in Khao Lak




























One of the things that they do for rememberance of the Tsunami is to elt off hot air ballons. We sent three out over the ocean.
























Check out this police launch in Khao Lak; It was washed two kilometres inland. You can only begin to imagine how high the water must have been to have carried something like this so far, it really brought the horror of the Tsunami home to us.
