a shot of one of the pools at the JW Marriott resort

yours truly getting ready to board our boat!

the Mr. giving the camera a thumbs up

our first stop... a private island paradise with the softest sand you can imagine

our boat: adorable, but a rather choppy ride!

if you look close: you can see dolphins playing in the water!

on this stop-- we spotted monkeys playing on an island...



I believe this island was the backdrop for the movie, The Beach... a popular tourist stop






the Mr. and me aboard the boat-- we look sunburnt and windswept, but happy!

sunset at the marina...
What's your idea of perfect bliss?

What gorgeous photos!
oh wow, what an incredible looking place
Wow, such a great place! Beautiful pictures. I should go there sometime!
I got chills looking at those beach photos. Those cliffs are so gorgeous.
One day I'll go to Thailand. 'Til then, I'll have to live vicariously through people like you.

P.S. The Beach was on TV a while ago, funnily enough. I had forgotten how weird that movie was.
How gorgeous... x
Welcome back!! I noticed right away that the cliff is from a shot of The Beach movie. You guys went there, awesome!!
So jealous, specially that the weather here has already dipped to the 50s. You'll be looking back at these photos thru winter to always remind you of the grand vacation you guys took!!
amazing photos! love your sunglasses so much :))
xoxo
PS - what a lovely coincidence. The Beach is on TV right now, I'm watching it! =)
Wow, so many stunning photos. That so does look like the movie The Beach. The scenery is breathtaking.
My idea of bliss, is a warm fire, wine and a good book.

Gorgeous shots, love that movie The Beach.
your trip looks amazing! i love the photo of the cliffs; i was thinking it looked right out of a movie.
my idea of perfect bliss: on a surfboard on the north shore of hawaii :)
this makes me want to go on a vacation right now :)
I JUST saw part of The Beach on TV the other day. You didn't go crazy and kill anyone, right?
Whoooooaaaaaaa. Amazing pictures. And really amazing doesn't even BEGIN to cover it. WOW!
Absolutely gorgeous photos, it felt like I was there, except I can't feel how soft the sand is on that beach, but I'll take your word for it!
Thanks for your support on my shopping ban! I NEED IT hahaha. Shopping Ban Sisters it is then! It's like when you want to go to the gym to exercise more, always good to have a gym buddy so you can't make excuses and skip out. WE CAN DO THIS!! :)
glad you had fun in Phuket - my fave place to hide out there is Banyen tree though the marriott looked beautiful too. I think it's located in a more remote part of the island so there's a more serene environment than say, Patong area.
haha i did the high speed boat thing too and my hubby hated it! it was super choppy and yes, that Beach location is such a tourist trap. I personally really hated it, and people were just all over the place littering everywhere. It's ironic that i thought it was really hellish considering the kind of "paradise" it's supposed to be. I wouldn't do that again!
that pic of your husb is great!
these are the best views and i still can't get over how perfect timing it was for you to get your camera.
The Mr. is too adorbs for words!!
What an amazing trip doll - so happy for you guys ;-) XOXO
Wow, your photos basically sum up what my idea of perfect bliss is!!
Gorgeous. One day soon I hope I'll be able to visit Thailand.
xx
I loved all those places! I have about a million photos of monkeys eating the bananas we brought and those red chairs on that little beach. So fabulous. I'm so glad that you were able to experience it.
:)
It is just so beautiful...thank you so much for sharing these D!
oh those photos are making me crave a tropical getaway!
My idea of perfect bliss? Exactly this.
Was wondering when you'd be back, Dee. I've thought of you. So glad you had such a wonderful time, and thanks for posting these shots. Lying here in bed in cold London, with a cold, I am literally living vicariously thru these images.. can't believe you were on that location of the Beach. I'm longing to go there someday!!
But glad to have you back so I can enjoy your posts. ; ) xx
how dreamy...I'm going green with envy here :D
