Some boats in the bay

 

A golden stupa and temple watches over the waters

 

A "pirate" boat tour

 

Guests come from nearby hotels and resorts

 

We are guessing it takes folks to beaches for the day

 

Getting ready to debark guests

 

Towing zodiac craft

 

Nearby hilltops

 

Another tour boat

 

Strange-looking island

 

 

 

The tug waiting for us to  leave

 

Guard waiting to drop the lines

 

Old boats seen better days

 

Fishing vessel

 

Done for the day

 

The dock in Phuket

 

Hillside condos, maybe

 

Locals fish from this pier

 

The fish eagle

 

On the hunt

 

Details of his feathers were dramatic

 

Eagle eyes

 

Watching us, watching him

 

A lone bird

 

Picking up the colors of the setting sun

 

Hunting for fish

 

Or he smells the shrimp appetizers on the aft deck

 

Nice coloring

 

On the wing

 

A better view

 

Or maybe this one

 

Sun going down

 

A typical Thai boat

 

Cooling down finally

 

A nice place to stay

 

Very private

 

Everything you need for a vacation

 

Pretty as a postcard

 

Small islets everywhere

 

Sunset was at 6:37pm

 

Hillside cabanas

 

Walk to the beach

 

Complete with tanning beds

 

Civilized

 

Cape Panwa Hotel

 

Even a boat pier

 

Lounges and white sand

 

Beautiful setting

 

Tall palms for shade

 

Tugboat

 

Fishing made simple and easy

 

Boat pier

 

Sun sets on Phuket

 

A nice breeze appeared

 

Now this is nice

 

Must be a hotel with a view

 

Sunset soon

 

Party boat

 

A fishing boat

 

Clouds on the horizon

 

Willie and Raymond, bar staff

 

Where are the customers?

 

Sun haze lingered

 

End of a very hot day

 

Sun behind the clouds

 

At least darkness brings relief

 

Going

 

About gone: 6:37pm, and so are we………
