After spending two days in Kuala Lumpur I took a short flight to Thailand and I landed in beautiful Phuket.
This is the hotel/guesthouse I stayed at, the owner was a Swedish guy called Lars, he was really great. Helped me out with ordering a shuttle for the wedding and asked each day if I needed any help (I think he was a little worried as I was a woman travelling alone). If you ever want a place to stay near Patong Beach I would recommend the Lanna Thai Hotel.

My first morning in Phuket with my cousins wedding happening at 3pm, I just had breakfast, a bit of a look around the immediate area and a foot massage.
My first morning in Phuket with my cousins wedding happening at 3pm, I just had breakfast, a bit of a look around the immediate area and a foot massage. My camera was not playing fair on the day of the wedding, I think maybe it was the heat and humidity. My old camera didn't work so well when we were in Hanoi and it was really hot and humid there too. Here is one of the photos I did manage to take just after the wedding, my cousin Mel with the baby elephant that was included in the family photo - he was pretty cool, when the photos were over we got to feed him bananas.
We travelled from the wedding ceremony to the river reception on these little boats - travelling in style.
When dusk hit we all had the chance to let a paper lantern go into the sky - it was pretty amazing.
Finally here's the table I sat at for the reception - it was a very international wedding with friends and family attending from New Zealand, Australia, Denmark, Britain and of course Thailand.
I do have a lot more photos to share from both Phuket and KL and I hope to post more soon - tomorrow morning I am off to Singapore bright and early, I am spending 5 days there before heading back home to Wellington.
