Day 8 leaving Mandalay and Phuket

---

Today we leave Myanmar and head to Phuket Thailand. Before we go to the airport though we make a stop at a jade market which we thought was just jewellery. Well it was a total opposite and found out most jade is mined and traded in Myanmar and specifically Mandalay. When we got there we litter seen thousands of people with all sizes, shapes and colours of jade trying to sell it. The main buyers were the Chinese but we believe our friend we met from LA was also there searching out a great buy. FRO there we got our stamp of approval out of Myanmar and on our flight to Phuket with a quick stop in Bangkok.



When we got to Phuket it was hot and when we got to our hotel well we were completely amazed at it and our room was spectacular
