Phuket again, and then more Bangkok???

We went and played the Ukelele at the Karon beach on our last day in Phuket.

Cortni experimenting with Thai Custard on bread. I think it's delicious. She doesn't seem to think so.

Always eating. We stopped for Japanese food on the way to swap cars with my dad.

No need for a DNA test. He's my father. 

It's nice to be able to stop somewhere on the road, jump out, and buy my girlfriend a coconut.

Finally, a window seat that is in our birthright. This day ended a bit in a tragedy. We found out in taxi after we landed
that an earthquake had hit Japan. We were shocked. Also, Cortni was supposed to leave the day after in the morning so
her flight was cancelled because she had a connection in Narita. So I guess she's staying in Bangkok for a few extra days.

Also, not pictured. Both of us got really sick after the plane ride for an unknown reason. Cortni got the worst of it and had to be taken to a hospital. The doctor diagnosed that she wasn't used to all the food we've been eating. She was fine after she got some sleep. It was a little scary. 

Everyone loves looking at a different country's supermarket. So I took her. At this point, we had no idea when she'd be
able to leave Thailand. All flights were still cancelled and we just were hanging out. 

Might as well take your boyfriend shoe shopping. Too bad we didn't get this one with the grapes on it.

Playing with my puppies. Notice Cortni's sunburn.

That night, I took her to a rooftop restaurant on top of a Mini Cooper's dealership. They served a variety of food and I got this ginormous plate. 

The next day, with our fate still unknown, I took her to a Thai Boxing event. It was really awesome and mostly for the locals. A lot betting behind us, with secret hand signals and a lot of money changing hands. 

It was one of the most exciting things I've watched in my life. We witnessed a knockout, bleeder, kid boxing, and a whole spectrum of violence.

The next day I took her again to the Thai Massage place. Mainly because we were sore from traveling, and that we lost a few pictures that we took on the first day.

Particularly, THIS picture. We were wearing the most comfortable clothes. It was neat. and painful, and relaxing.

Thailand's a bit known for their medical toursim too. So I saved Cortni a bit of money to have her teeth cleaned here in Thailand. Why not?

After we had our plaques removed, we went to one of the famous parks in Bangkok. There are bikes for rent, and we were able to get the only squeaky tandem bike they had there.

I'm not sure what I did wrong here, but it's a cute picture.

They forget their fit throwing fast, if you offer to take pictures of them

This park had amazing garden arrangement and various fountains. 

Neat: Lotus Leaf. They never get wet so you can play with them. 

I love camera self-timers. Too bad it doesn't have a function to get rid of the guy in the back.

Beautiful park.

More Lotus pictures. We ended the day in a long Taxi ride. Came home and relaxed.

I had to take Cortni to the Airport at 3AM. It was too early and we might have both been too sleepy to cry, but she was off.  It was so awesome to see one of my best friends after almost 9 months. We learned a lot about each other. Mostly she learned a lot about my life and how I was partially brought up. I hope to see her again soon, as this trip has definitely been one that is going to be memorable for me. I sincerely hope that Cortni didn't get tired of hanging out with me for almost two weeks straight, and I certainly hope you didn't get too bored reading about my vacation. 
Cheers, feel free to visit me.
