Balloon Over Phuket
As we sat watching the sunset, a woman asked if we wanted to buy a balloon for good luck...
I had seen these balloons up north before and jumped at the chance. Besides, we could all use some good luck.
As the balloon floated by, tourists stopped drinking and playing soccer to watch it rise into the clouds...
A little kid even started clapping...
We watched it float into a tiny black dot in the sky...
Best 100baht I've ever spent =)
We first saw these balloons last year during our visit in Chiang Mai. If you’re interested, this blog had photos with literally thousands of hot air balloons being sent off during a festival. The photos are night photos–the balloon is fun during the sunset, but it’s absolutely magical at night.
