I arrived in Phuket on a flight from Chiang Mai and found an utter mob scene- cars, motorcycles, scooters, can s, people everywhere.
Thinking to get away from the chaos, I decided to head for Freedom Beach, a beach that had a reputation for beauty and for being uncrowded due its difficulty of access and because it involves a long walk to reach. I found it as advertised and nearly deserted-
To ensure a safe journey through the traffic madness I hired a motor scooter to bring me to and fro-
Weaving in and out of the traffic, sometimes just inches away from other vehicles was terrifying and then on the return exhilarating- kind of an adrenaline rush. Maybe unwise but really way fun. The drivers must have been at least 17
Next day boat trip to famous James Bond Island.
