Time for a Break - Como at Point Yamu, Phuket

     This year I decided not to go for the company incentive trip to Athens; instead I'll be putting time aside to spend with the family. The wifey and I decided that it'd be an opportunity to really relax. Hence we chose the Como property at Point Yamu, Phuket. Many would think us nuts for spending a week here, but that's how we roll.
      The resort is a half hour drive from Phuket International Airport. The squalor that one passes along the way, almost makes one feel guilty that you're heading into the lap of luxury - almost. We soon arrived at Como. The resort overlooks the ocean and several smaller islands in the distance. What greeted us was an instagram-worthy scene.

     Today we take it real slow...

Learning origami at the Kid's Club.
Enjoying a chrysanthemum- flavoured popsicle.
Taking a dip in the infinity pool.

     Then it's back to the room for an afternoon nap. We had to force ourselves to get up for dinner, because a surprise awaited the little one.

Yummy Thai food. It wasn't the
least bit spicy (even the adult portions)

Special post-birthday birthday
surprise for the little munchkin. 

Sunset - an apt way to end a
tiring but fulfilling day.
