Weekend Snapshot 11


We went to Phuket this weekend (that explains my absence in the blogosphere) , actually it was plainly for 'business' but of course, when you're in Phuket, you can't help but mix a little pleasure with it. So, during our free times we went sightseeing and even had a chance to dine in in Patong Beach. We surely enjoyed our trip!
When we went around, I was continually amazed at how beautiful the beaches are and gave me a chance to truly appreciate God's wonderful creation. It's just awesome!
I know my photos won't do justice in capturing the beauty of what we saw ( and not ot mention I didn't take a lot of photos)..:) But anyways, take a look at it and maybe it'll encourage you to visit Thailand and see it for yourself.

When we went to Patong Beach at night, we saw all these signages all around. It leads you to the Evacuation Route in case of Tsunami. This BEach was badly hit by the Tsunami waves 3 years ago, where thousands of people died.

The signages reminded me of that terrible disaster and I couldn't imagine a 20 meters(?) wave on that exact area where we stood and the casualities that occured. It really gave me goosebumps. I was reminded of the amount of tears shed and prayers we have uttered for those people who have been affected by it. It was sad and I hope and pray that a disaster like that won't happen again. * sigh*

That looks like a beautiful place to visit. I know what you mean about the signs. It is terrible when lives are lost.

Phuket has really nice beaches :)
I can imagine your pang of pain when you saw the Tsunami signage :(

p/s: The bottom of the space-net my kids were climbing only had sand below. Quite a scary thought if someone slip and fall. Not sure if he/she will drop bottom onto the sand or get stuck between those ropes.
