PHUKETT, THAILAND

One of our stops was at a cave where hundreds of monkeys were at the entrance, getting well fed with bananas from the tourists. Inside were many religious artifacts.

Phuket is a tropical paradise with many beautiful beaches and resorts. I went on a tour to the location of Roger Moore’s The Man with the Golden Gun, locally referred to as the James Bond Island. These limestone islands have caves in and underneath and canoeing is very popular here.

We made a stop at Koh Panyi water village where 400 houses are built on stilts and connected by wooden walkways. Population of the village is 2000! They even have a school, hospital and sports court.
