Phuket. Our last day in Thailand before heading West to India. Anyone who knows me, knows that I love hot spicy food, usually the hotter the better. In Phuket, I was brought to my knees by a chili shrimp dish that we ordered in a local restaurant. After one bite, my mouth was on fire. I tried mixing it with rice, drowning the fire with beer, water and cold vegetables, all to no avail. Finally, I just gave up after eating a total of about three bites. No question, the hottest food I’ve ever tried to eat without having to sign a waiver!!
On the positive side, I’m now an inch taller than I was before my one hour Thai massage. My fingers are longer, my toes are longer and every joint in my body has been stretched far beyond what I believed was possible.
Super hot Thai lunch, including beer $2.65. One hour Thai massage $7.75, another day in Thailand, priceless!!
We’re now on our first of three days at sea before reaching Madras. I think we’re all happy for the break, after being in port 6 of the last 7 days. The weather is great; hot, humid, clear skies (with spectacular sunrises and sunsets) and calm seas. We sat out by the pool with a bloody mary this morning, played trivia this afternoon, and look forward to more of the same tomorrow.
We’re both looking forward to our first glimpse of India.

Never thought anything could be too spicy for you, would have paid money to see you sweat! Unbelievable price on the massage! Did Merlena take advantage of it too?

ReplyDeleteA little hotter than jalapenos, huh? I had a Thai massage once, never thought my body would/could bend in all those directions! Glad you enjoyed yours.
