Cape Yamu is a small enclave on the less fashionable east side of Phuket. It has a very sheltered bay with a pier which can just be seen in the photograph. The last few years has seen some development of villas but the area has still retained its natural charm.

High season in Phuket and it is not difficult to see why lookoing at the blue sky in this photo. This is a mangrove tree that flourishes in salt water. Layan is a particularly beautiful and quiet part of Bang Tao Bay in Phuket especially on a day like this one.

At a certain time of year there is an influx of jellyfish into Phang Nga Bay which prompts the local fishermen to go out hunting for them. Rumour has it that they are shipped to Japan where they are considered something of a delicacy.
