Hello everyone

As the clock struck 6:00 p.m., we bid adieu to the tranquil beauty of Nai Thon Beach, embarking on the next leg of our journey towards Sarasin Bridge. This significant bridge stands as a vital connection between the mainland of Phang Nga Province and the flourishing island of Phuket. While Phuket maybe just a small island on the map, its rapid development has propelled it into the limelight as a prominent tourist destination in Thailand.

As we drove towards Sarasin Bridge, the landscape shifted, showcasing the blend of modern development and the island's natural allure. Phuket, with its picturesque landscapes and rich resources, has grown into a sought-after destination. The bridge, spanning the waters that separate the two provinces, serves not only as a physical connection but also as a symbolic link between mainland Phang Nga and the thriving island of Phuket.

This gathering is a testament to the shared history and interconnected destinies of these neighboring provinces.

The event at Sarasin Bridge symbolizes unity and collaboration, fostering a sense of community among the people on both sides of the bridge. It's a moment when they come together, acknowledging and celebrating the ties that bind them.

I didn't walk to the bridge on the Phang Nga side because the sun had begun to set. Instead, I retraced my steps and walked back the same way to rejoin my husband's older sister and niece who were waiting below.

As the day approached its tranquil finale, the sun began its unhurried descent near the treetops lining the western shores of the sea. This picturesque scene unfolded in a coastal haven. A gathering of onlookers, both locals and tourists alike, dotted the landscape, drawn by the allure of the impending sunset.

Following the mesmerizing spectacle of the sunset, we decided to make our way home. It had been a day filled with exploration, from the morning light until the sun dipped below the horizon. The cumulative effect of our travels left us feeling weary, and the onset of fatigue prompted a growing sense of drowsiness. The journey from dawn to dusk had taken us to various places, each offering its own unique charm and experiences. As the twilight settled, the allure of returning to the comfort of home became increasingly appealing. The weariness of the day's adventures weighed on us, and the natural transition from tiredness to the gentle embrace of sleep began to set in.
