They say coincidences make the best stories, but often, there's a certain inevitability about them.
In Siam, there are only so many fun places to go, so if you come on the same flight, as long as the travel itineraries are similar and the paths are close, it's not surprising to run into each other—Phuket Island isn't big, and there aren't many high-end hotels.
Strictly speaking, people who play here are pretty relaxed. Even if they don't know each other, taking a photo or even a selfie isn't a big deal; everyone is here to have fun—of course, it's best to ask for permission before snapping a picture.
The infamous street writer Chen Moumou did just that in Phuket Island, taking a picture of a very pretty Eastern European girl. The girl had a row of Chinese characters on her back, so he approached and took a photo.
