I'm in Thailand now, doing the tourist thing and relaxing at the beach. First two nights I stayed in Kata which is about 20km south of Patong on the Phuket peninsula. Patong is a big party town and Kata is supposed to be a little more quiet. Turns out in the low season Kata is really dead, so I didn't stay for very long. The beaches are beautiful there and were almost empty. I played volleyball with some locals the first night, because there barely were any other tourists around. Second night I met some Aussies and we went to Patong to check out the nightlife. It was really busy and loud (even during low season) and I'm glad I didn't stay there.

Now I'm on Ko Phi Phi island. It is a really nice place with just the right amount of people. I'm probably going to stay here for a few more nights. The island is beautiful with crystal clear water, pretty much exactly like I've seen it on pictures before.
