There are various reasons for people to take a spontaneous trip. I became overwhelmed early this year, working an average of ten hours a day with the risk of possibly falling into unemployment anytime. All of that could have caused me to crack. So, I just left and took a flight to Phuket, maybe it was a good way to give myself some relief. The time of year in which I travelled is full of chilly days in the place I was leaving, but the weather there was still flipping hot - every day was over 33°. Fortunately, the views of the island were stunning, even beyond my expectations, especially the beaches, the soft white sand and peaceful aquamarine sea in the sun. I followed the slow-paced life of the locals, lying in a distinctive tiny boat by some beach while watching children playing, as all of the unpleasantness faded away, just enjoying the moment. Every one of my seven days spent there was great apart from a few slightly annoying things. The first annoyance was the busy traffic in some places, as well as always needing to watch out for the rapid vehicles passing by. I was impressed with the conduct of the locals, but it was the opposite when it came to some of the tourists. An Indian couple asked me to take a photo of them without even a thank you afterwards. A person who spoke Russian waved his hand and drove me away from the beach bed he had just booked. The most surprising moment I experienced was when I saw a Chinese family stuck at a supermarket register, because the father was talking loudly and angrily to the staff, asking for a free plastic bag. The communication between them seemed rocky, and I tried to help, but the staff give me a sign to stop and gave him the bag.
