The flight from Bangkok to Phuket was only about an hour. We arrived in Phuket late afternoon and we had a car waiting for us. The car was provided by our hotel, Layalina. We decided to treat ourselves to a boutique hotel in Phuket. After much research and checking out the reviews we selected the Layalina Hotel. Layalina reminded us alot of a The Hotel Deseo in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. The Layalina was fantastic. Located right on the beach we had an unobstructed ocean view from two floors. We even had an ocean view from the whirlpool tub and open shower in our bathroom. Upstairs, we had a private balcony, we received two free 55 minute massages and they served a light breakfast by the pool every morning. We had everything we needed within walking distance in our beach town Kamala. Great restaurants, fun bars and walks on the beach every morning. It was heaven. We did rent a motorbike for a day and we took a tour along the coast to the southern veiwpoint and back up the coast to a secluded, beach just north of Kamala. We took a boat tour out to the Phi Phi Islands for some snorkling. </B></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="610" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 456 ><NOBR><div> <B><IMG SRC="16758c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="604"><div> <B>Hotel Layalina from the beach.</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 456 ><NOBR><div> <B><IMG SRC="16958c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="604"><div> <B>Inside our room. </B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 456 ><NOBR><div> <B><IMG SRC="16b58c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="604"><div> <B>View from the open shower in the bathroom. </B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 456 ><NOBR><div> <B><IMG SRC="16d58c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="604"><div> <B>Downstairs balcony from the room.</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 456 ><NOBR><div> <B><IMG SRC="16f58c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="604"><div> <B>Our private rooftop balcony.</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 456 ><NOBR><div> <B><IMG SRC="17158c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 ><NOBR><div> <B>Cindy takes it all in from the rooftop balcony as the sun sets.</B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 456 ><NOBR><div> <B><IMG SRC="17358c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 57 WIDTH="604"><div> <B>Our chef for the evening prepares fresh giant prawns on a wood fire in front of the restaurant.
