Surin Beach, Thailand

A fantastic surprise from JP! The postcard fairy all over the postcard-sphere :)

He sent this card from the Phuket island, and this card in particular shows the Surin Beach. A few more words about Phuket, in an older post I have here.

Surin is on the west coast of Phuket, known as 'Millionaires Row' due the the top-end celebrity haunts as well as the many US$ 1 million+ houses that sit proudly on top of the hills overlooking the Andaman Sea. Although popular with tourists it's not a busy resort town but more like a coastal village.
As it is usual with these kind of beaches, it has crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches...just lovely, no?

And JP definitely has his way of finding great stamps as well...all the stamps were issued in 2010...the middle one is from a set of 10 definitives portraying H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej (King Rama IX), while the two long stamps are from a set of 4 representing the 50th Anniversary of Tourism Authority of Thailand.

Phuket, Thailand

And some summer-related-view coming from Thailand....looks lovely!

Phuket is Thailand’s largest island, approximately the size of Singapore. It is connected to mainland Thailand by a bridge.The name Phuket is apparently derived from the word bukit in Malay which means hill, as this is what the island appears like from a distance. (i hope i used the word "Malay" right...)
On this card in particular you can see a view of Kata Noi, Kata Yai and Karon Bays at Phuket view Point. It is said to be one of the island's best views.
well, no need to dispute that i think....
