Phuket... Back in the city

Since we last blogged, we have travelled to Patong beach in Phuket, Thailand. We were told by several travelers how we only needed a couple nights here because it's not the greatest place. We are starting to think that we should stop listening to some travelers because we really like it here, and are really liking being back in the city! 

First night, checked into our hostel late and scoped out the street scene. Lots of stuff happening, but nothing we were too inclined to do that first night. So we scoped out the shopping mall and did some window shopping!

Next day, another rainy day and decided to catch a cheap movie. We have learned that the Asia theaters are amazing, however in Thailand it's accustomed to stand and listen to their national anthem before the show starts. Similar to what you would do before a sporting event. 

Today, day 3, we decided to go quadding. Out guides took us on ATVs to  the top of a mountain where "Big Buddha" is and so we could get a great shot of the city below. This was both of our first times on the ATVs and we had a blast! In the rainy weather, we managed to get nice and muddy and find lots of puddles to go through!

Met several people along the way. We are hoping we can get a day of sunshine to hit the beach tomorrow. Pictures below of the last few days activities!
