I took a short holiday trip of around 4 days to Phuket, Thailand about a month ago, and had a nice stay at Phuket Marriott Resorts & Spa, Merlin Beach. I think it was the monsoon season and it was raining like half the time I was there. The rain mostly came in the early morning, went off in the late morning and came back again in the evening.
Nevertheless, I did manage to spend some time at the Tri-Trang (or Merlin) beach and got some nice photos there. The first three photos were taken on a evening where it was actually not raining. Sunset was almost non-existent due to the overcast skies, but the beach was still nice for photo taking, as it is rather rocky and you can get nice wave movements for the long exposure shots. It's not so great for kids though, as it can be dangerous with the rocks all over.
Overall, it was a relaxing trip spent mostly in the resort. Adults can relax by the pool or visit the spa while the kids can be entertained by the many kids activities organised by the Kids Club in the resort.
