My July In Pictures

Hello my dear readers,

Another month has flown by! July is considered low season in Phuket because it’s supposed to rain a lot. Sure, we had some days where we could’ve hosted a boat race in the driveway, but we also had some stunning sunny days with skies that looked straight out of a postcard. 🌧️☀️🏝️

Curious about how life in Phuket is going? Well, we’ve worked a ton, and mostly strolled around Kamala. But enough chatter—here are some snapshots!

One thing to mention: I’m an introvert, and even snapping a photo can feel like a major production if people are around. Often, I’ll pass a spot thinking, “This would make a great photo,” but then I chicken out and keep walking. So, please bear with me—if some photos aren’t perfect, it’s probably because I took them on the sly. Silly me! 📸😅

NOTE: As always, click on each image to find my little captions. 📸✨

And if you thought we stayed put this month, think again! We squeezed in a short trip to Bangkok—always for business, of course. Here are a few snaps from our whirlwind adventure in this beautiful and lively city. 📸✈️🌆

Since this whole COVID rollercoaster began, I’ve caught it twice. This month was my second performance. Luckily, it was a short show with just two days of fever—much better than the first time around! 🎭🤒

If you thought one trip in July was enough, think again! A sudden plan took us back home to Italy. We booked a flight and were airborne the next day. We only stayed a week, but since we live near the mountains, we squeezed in a quick mountain trip. It was short but oh-so-sweet. Here are a few snapshots of our whirlwind adventure! 🌍✈️🏔️📸

Now we gear up for August, which is already in full swing, and, of course, I’ve got another travel plan in the works. Stay tuned for more adventures and fresh updates from Phuket! 🌍✈️🌴

Bye for now,

    Your neat prose paragraphs, e.g. “we had some days where we could’ve hosted a boat race in the driveway,” makes me regret that I can’t see the captions to these often intriguing photographs

      Thank you Derrick! Not sure why…it is a gallery and by clicking on each photo individually, you should be able to see the caption at the bottom…🤔

        I realised it was a gallery, but it doesn’t work as such for me. Never mind

        Not so sure what to do…I’ll try to ask the happiness engineers 😆

    Lovely images, and I really like the toothed tree.
    Here’s a hint if you are shy about taking photos around people. Just hold up your phone and wiggle your thumbs like you are texting someone, and line up your shot and let that thump just happen to land on the shoot button. No one will know.

      Hahaha, thank you Dorothy! I wanted a few times to do it but then I thought people will notice 😂

        Nah! No one is looking at anyone else these days!

    You did not get affected by the computer issues that affected many of the airlines?

    1. popsiclesociety Avatar

      Luckily no! It happened just the next day after we landed! 😅

      1. sharonsiconictravelphotographyblog Avatar

        Same with my trip. The plane issues started the day after I returned.
