Es ist so heiß, dass wir gar nicht wissen, was wir überhaupt anziehen sollen. 🥵

Aber heute wollen wir einen Ausflug machen.

Von ins Hotel aus ist fussläufig fast nichts erreichbar. Daher haben wir ein Taxi gerufen und sind auf Empfehlung von unserem Hotelchef nach Phuket in die Old Town gefahren, da dort in der Nähe gerade auch ein Vegetarisches Foodfestival sein soll.

Die Häuschen waren ganz süß und hier war schon deutlich mehr los, als bei unserem Hotel.

Wir haben uns ein bisschen durch die verschiedenen Gerichte probiert und sind irgendwann satt auf einer Bank im Park gelandet. Hier hat ein Mann super schöne Musik gespielt 🎷

Komplett durchgeschwitzt ging es wieder zum Hotel. Die Energie am heutigen Tag war nicht unbedingt größer als gestern 😂

Aber egal, wir sind ja hier zum Urlaub machen und genießen gerade die Zeit, in der wir nichts machen. Nach den letzten Wochen und Monaten ist das auch bitter nötig.. 😉

NO REST FOR THE WICKED | E | 48.7k | vegaspete AU

chapter 9: Vegas and Pete spend an uneventful day in Phuket Town.

Pete’s eyes drop to the contents of the box. Just one piece, really: a wide choker-style necklace, studded with a million tiny diamonds. It looks expensive. More expensive than the rest of the shop. More expensive than most of anything anyone Pete knows back in Bangkok would wear: the type of thing that would make you a perfect target for mugging back in his old neighborhood (except, of course, if you were someone like Vegas: at the back of luxury cars, permanently surrounded by surveillance and security).

Vegas picks the necklace up by one of its delicate chains.

The dim shop light bounces off the diamonds as it spins, dangling beautifully from his fingers. It’s clearly one of the most prized objects in the store, contrasting strongly with the faded damask walls and dusty display windows.

“It’s beautiful,” Pete finds himself saying, overcome with the slightest sense of awe.

☀️🏝️👬🏻 fic details under the cut ❤️‍🔥⛓

☀️ summary:

Pete has long left Thailand. He is now living the American dream, working long hours to make his rich clients richer and himself more miserable than ever.

But when his best friend Porsche invites him to his destination wedding to the mysterious Kinn, Pete finds himself suddenly thrown into the world of the Theerapanyakul family, the silent machinations underpinning their wealth, and Kinn’s cousin Vegas—who, for reasons unknown, has made it his mission to tear down every assumption Pete holds about his life.

Old Town, Phuket, Thailand 2024

[kumeko]

A/N: For the @kyoruzine! I wanted to do something taking place shortly after the they graduate, where Tohru and Kyo are still figuring out who they are together. And yes, obligatory Kyoko line was needed.

…

…

…

…

Dear Mom Diary,

I have to get used to that! I’m so used to talking to Mom about my day, it feels really weird writing this to no one. Or I guess, myself? My future self? Should I write “Dear Tohru” instead? That sounds funny. Kyo said I didn’t have to, that I could keep talking to Mom, but since he’s trying something new, I wanted to too.

We left China and are in Phuket, Thailand now. Can you believe how far we are from home? I never dreamed of leaving the city, let alone Japan, and now I’ve been to two different countries. Arisa tells me she’s jealous—she and Kureno are biking through Okinawa right now. She likes the heat. I think she’d like it here too. Maybe when we meet up, I can tell her all the best places to see. 

I miss everyone, though I get a lot of letters and calls. Kyo says they might as well travel with us at this rate. I think that would be fun but…I know this is a little selfish, but I like travelling with Kyo alone too. I wish I could do both at the same time.

Kyo spends most of his day training. Shishou has connections with all kinds of dojos, and each of those dojos have their own connections—it’s like you’re never too far from a helping hand or a friend. All you have to do is talk to someone, and you’ll find doors opening. Even though the world is big, it’s also so small and connected.

Oh, I’m getting off topic! Anyways, Kyo trains all day but in the evenings, we go out. Just the two of us. Then we’ll explore the city together—there’s an old town here in Phuket and all the buildings are so colourful. I like the yellow houses the best, they’re cheerful.  Sometimes we walk through tiny alleys and sometimes we stick the main lane, but the best part is that Kyo’ll hold my hand the entire time. Tightly, like he wants to make sure I’m still there, that I didn’t get lost.

I haven’t told him I’ll never get lost again because no matter where I go, I can find him. I probably should, but I like how he holds my hand each time. Rin told me to do things for myself, so this much is fine, right?

The food here is spicy. Really spicy. I have to drink a lot of water whenever I eat. Kyo laughed and told me I should have asked for something milder. He’s probably right. No matter how many times I try, I can’t get used to the heat.

Diary, actually, I was wrong. The best part isn’t how he holds my hand. No, the best part is when we go back to our room at night. There’re bright lights in the city but when we get to the dojo, it’s dark. There’s only the moon, if we’re lucky. Kyo always wraps his arm around my shoulders, pulling me close as we walk, and I can hear his heart beat the entire way. It’s almost like a dream when he kisses me after.

Sometimes, I think it is a dream, but then he’ll flick my forehead and tell me this is better than any dream.

And then he’ll go red and tell me not to make him say such things.

He’s right, it is better than any dream. That’s because it’s real. It’s real today and tomorrow and even twenty years from now.

And that is the best part.

Love,

Tohru

[ziusik]

would you be willing to share your fave parts of visiting thailand? i would love to visit and wondered what you enjoyed. thanks!

hello! Sure thing!

Chiang Mai - Chiang Mai was WONDERFUL - chill and lovely and amazing food - and if you go, be sure to visit Doi Inthanon national park for the most beautiful, breathtaking view of mountains you've ever seen in your life. Just stunning. Google it, it's truly amazing.

Bangkok was fun! We did silly bl-related things such as go to the GMM Grammy building & uhhhhh have a night at the Rosewood where they filmed Kinnporsche, which was spectacular and worth every (many, many) penny. (Also went to Hum Bar! FUN) I wish I'd gotten to see more temples, but we did see the Reclining Buddha and it was absolutely stunning. The whole temple was gorgeous, I could have been there all day tbh. Oh and we did a dinner river cruise and it was SOOOOOO fun omg, highly recommend seeing the city that way. Absolutely beautiful.

Phuket - beautiful! Phi Phi islands were gorgeous, even if getting there was a bit of a misadventure (don't be the last one on the boat, is all I'm gonna say). I've never seen water this turquoise. The cliffs and the lush greenery - it was why I wanted to go to Thailand in the first place, and it did not disappoint. The water was so warm. I miss it terribly. Phuket old town was super cute & I wish I'd spent a bit more time there, but it was a bit far from where we were staying. The beaches are gorgeous.

That's sort of the highlights! It was a wonderful country and I want to go back so, so bad. Best place I've ever visited, possibly. Chill and friendly and beautiful and interesting and. Yeah. If you can go, GO. Worth the long trip (I mean, depending where you're coming from, but it was a verrrrry long trip for me).
