To the left, the step up to the rooms. They are made up of a red sand/cement mix that make them very pleasant and non-slippery to walk on. They are kept meticulous clean every morning from 530 to 630 hours in the morning. To the right, in the shade when the sun is on, a shade over 400 Centigrade. That's a little bit on the much side. But the temperature dropped to 31 on Thursday. And overcast. Nice break.
	The Thai beaches are as most beaches, but this one doesn't have the under current you find in Goa. But the pool being so nice at the hotel, Martin see no reason to spend time on the sandy beaches. They have dogs in Thailand as well, but not as many as in Goa.
	TucTucs all over the places. Nice, neat and convenient way of transport. The Thailand flag. Same colors as the Norwegian one. Red, white and blue.
	The hotel, Phuket Ocean Resort was really a pleasant surprise for Martin. Clean, nice well stocked rooms with functioning air condition. The amazing steps up to the rooms with a fantastic flower arrangements along side them.
	Martin bought his camera more than two years ago and still hasn't moved off the Auto button. This is a try to do so, using night settings. Worked. Martin tried to make a video clip as well. Will not work in Windows Media player. Try WinAmp.

The next day, Thursday March 13th , it was time for the orientation meeting for new comers. Martin always attend these.
