My Wordless Wednesday posts have never really been wordless and this is no exception.
We just returned from a super awesome vacation in Phuket, Thailand so I thought I would upload some pictures here as well. I’ve been to Thailand twice (Pattaya and Bangkok) and although I had fun, both the places failed to impress me. But Phuket is an awesome place which is perfect for families, couples and even friends. There is something for everyone. Before I turn into an ambassador for Phuket, l’ll just get on with some pictures from the trip (You can enlarge the pictures if you want to)
We did canoeing, ATV, saw a couple of temples, visited the James Bond Island and also had some night fun at the infamous Bangla Road.
ATV
Buffet Hall at the Fantasea Show
Palace of Elephants,the Fanasea show Hall
Canoeing Tour (They take you in a boat and then take you in and around the Island in Canoes)
I got to Canoe for a while 
and ofcourse Beach
And…I also got a permanent tattoo. My husband was more worried about the pain than I was. It was painful, yes, but it was also very exciting. I always wanted a tattoo and now I have one

I did ride the bike for almost an hour on the streets of Phuket in search of a bookstore too. I got Mango Rains.
I will be putting up more photos in the future Wordless Wednesday posts.

What a great trip. I like your tattoo.

You two always go on such awesome trips! I love the tattoo.
I’ve always wanted to get one, too, but it never seemed like the right time, if that makes sense.

I know what you mean. I always wanted to get one too and this seemed like the right time

It all looks fabulous! You are so brave to get a tattoo!

Wow! You really went for it with your first tatoo! It’s beautiful.

It looks like you had an amazing time! I would canoe there too, it’s such a gorgeous place to do so!

Hi Violet,
It seems like ages since we last spoke, I hope that things have calmed down for you a little at work now and that life is not so hectic.
It really isn’t possible to have a completely wordless post when it comes to holiday snaps, because everyone wants to know where you have been and where you are visiting in each new shot… Besides which, you just feel the urge to share the good times and tell everyone how fantastic it all was!!!
It looks like you had a great time and the tattoo is lovely, not something I would personally have done, as I can’t stand the sight of needles or blood, but on you it looks good!!
I checked out ‘Mango Rains’ and I think that this is going to be a pretty emotional and harrowing read. It is difficult the lengths that some people are forced to go to just to survive, kind of makes you grateful for what you do have, doesn’t it??
A review may seem a bit frivolous for a story this sad, but it would be good to hear your thoughts about the book.

Have always wanted to go to Phuket as long as I can remember – one of my best friends in the world spent a month exploring Thailand and the photos and stories he tells make it sound incredible.
And, Violet, wow! I absolutely adore your tattoo! <3 Gorgeous.
