We made our return to Phuket, Thailand last week with five very enjoyable and relaxing days and nights. Technically speaking we were just a few miles north of Phuket Island on a beach in Phang Nga. If you are looking to hop into town for dinners, shopping and nightlife this is not the place for you. If you want an empty, isolated, pristine beach this IS the place for you.

We spent five nights at the Aleenta Resort and Spa and left the resort’s grounds exactly zero times. There was no need to leave. The rooms, the grounds, the restaurants and the staff made this one of the most indulgent and relaxing 5 days we’ve ever had.

This really wasn’t much of a photo trip, but there were still a few photographs to grab. From a camera standpoint the 35mm focal length on the RX1r and the 21mm (wide-angle adaptor) on the Ricoh GR were just about perfect.

Enjoy.
