Travel Blogs from Phuket, Thailand
Trying the beach again - life is good!
This is a top pick! Today's challenge was like any other day - getting Lorna out of bed! This mission was accomplished at about 11.30am. We were down on the beach for 12 though, so she did get a wriggle on. It was a nice & sunny day today, so we decided to stay on the ...
Just cant stay away from the beach!!
This is a top pick! We were down at the beach for 11am today! It is yet another really hot and sunny day today. I have decided to splash the cash today and buy three balls to take to the beach - they cost 69 Baht (about £1)! They are only the size if a grapefruit - but ...
Week Ten - Phuket to Phi Phi
This is a top pick! ... around the rocks, it is amazing. Wish we had got used to snorkelling before diving as it is excellent and the water in Thailand is so clear and calm compared to Tofo Beach. Lie until about 3pm then back to luxurious room, quick shower and wander into ...
21 hours on three buses!
This is a top pick! ... at around 6am and had to hang around until 7.30am before transferring to a local bus. This bus took us to the edge of Phuket Island, arriving at about 2.30pm. Here we jumped into an air con mini-van and finally arrived at our guesthouse in Patong Bay at ...
James Bond Island Trip
This is a top pick! Today I went on a cool day trip to James Bond Island, a location where they did some filming on the 007 film Man with the Golden Gun with Roger Moore. Several other islands were included which were actually better to visit but I think the tour ...
Elephants, Monkeys and Monsoons... Oh my!
This is a top pick! ... breakfast and jumped into the van with our 'driver' and wended our way throught the country-side to our Elephant Safari. Thailand is a country of dichotomies. Our 'Elephant Safari' was founded on poverty and tackied up for the sake of tourists who ...
Transit to Phuket
This is a top pick! To Phuket via Bangkok Airport. Arrived late at 9 pm. Jenn very very sick. Scott not sick, putting up with Jenn. Poor ...
Off To Phuket
This is a top pick! ... near the river to a place called Hemlock for dinner. He ordered shitloads of food. All good as you would expect from Thai food when in Thailand, washed down with copious amounts of Singha. It went down a treat. As it neared 23:00, we parted ways, I had my ...
Bet it'd be nicer on the beach!
This is a top pick! ... so once again we pointed and spent about 30B on mini pancakes. They turned out to be very tasty, we've discovered across Thailand the pancakes are popular and good. Strolled home after this, took us about 30 minutes. Strolling home or anywhere for that ...
Koh Phi Phi Diving
This is a top pick! Hi Guys, You can read our update from Koh Phi Phi in our entry from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia entitled 'Travel Rehab!'. Cheers, K & ...
Jusat a quick entry sorry but 1 this ...
This is a top pick! Jusat a quick entry sorry, but 1. this keyboard is doing my head in as it has stickers on the worn keys and i keep misspelling! 2/ it is 2bht a minuite and 3. not a lot has changed since the last entry apart from........ Got sick a week or so ...
Phuket - Well, we had to fly out from somewhere...
This is a top pick! Heading to Singapore via Phuket. Again.... managed to plan our trip so we didn't have to stay in ...
James Bond Island
This is a top pick! ... ; To be fair, so was everyone else. Most shops and restaurants were closed the entire week of Songkran. We opted to stay in Phuket Town instead of staying at the beach. Erin then made it known she was too lazy to take a day-trip to the ...
A Taste of Mexico in Thailand
This is a top pick! I am in southern Thailand on the island of Phuket...pronounced Poo-Get, not F*#* It. I'm visiting my Mexican buddy Carlos, who I got to know well over a bottle of good tequila while I was working in a hostel in Uruguay. He ...
Go-go bars, diving and dogs!
This is a top pick! ... with a day of diving, although this time the sea was a bit rougher and the underwater life not as prolific as off Ko Lanta. Phuket is worth a visit for a day or two but we were glad to leave and take our VIP bus to Bangkok complete with Thai music ...
Why I Decided Not to Fly Orient Thai 1-2-GO UPDATE
This is a top pick! ... more than a 20 flights into and out of Thailand and I can barely claim to know anything more than my own experiences with flying in Thailand. I've taken flights on Air Asia, One-Two-Go and Nok Air. By far and away, I consider Air Asia to be the best ...
Merry Christmas 2007
This is a top pick! ... red. Anything to please the tourist I suppose. Which brings me to my next point; I am not in the real Thailand. Although it's fun here and cheap for me while staying for nothing in Carlos' house, this place is tourist central and ...
Not Another Birthday!
This is a top pick! ... way of doing things - the religion comes across as being so positive in nature, non-judgemental and all-inclusive:) Phuket continues to impress me... even though I hate being around throngs of tourists, having tourists ensures that the facilties are ...
Nutty Phuket
This is a top pick! Ah, yes, welcome to Thailand and bustling, touristy Phuket! It's busy, it's crowded, it's beachy and markety in every way imaginable. We have to remind ourselves that a tsunami wiped out the area we are staying in only three years ago, and ...
Phuket - Recovery (hopefully)
This is a top pick! We've not done too much since our last entry and are still here in Phuket because I have Gastro-enteritis. I've been laid-up since Sunday with stomach cramps, fever, aching, and general malaise. Obviously, I had all of those symptoms with a desperate ...
Koh Phangan to Phuket
This is a top pick! ... around under the shade of the trees chatting with their other fellow divers. Long term this attitude can only do harm. Where as Thailand is full of tourists 'returning' year after year, the area of Phuket will slowly become a place that people will visit ...
Re-Unions
This is a top pick! ... to meet up later on. We went for a walk in Patong, where we were now based. It did not seem like we were in Thailand. There were lights, bars and restaurants everywhere. In fact, it seemed like a sleazier version of Goa, and that we did not enjoy. So ...
The Beach
This is a top pick! ... many years ago, I have always pictured this amazing island located in the Andaman Sea off the coast of Phuket. In the movie Leonardo DiCaprio travels to Thailand and is given a secret map, which he decides to follow along with some new friends. They ...
Finally in Thailand
This is a top pick! ... , I was on the back of a motorbike scooting around Phuket town to a budget hotel called The Thorlorn Hotel. Welcome to Thailand... the difference was already apparent on the side of the streets and the laid back approach... the food carts on the side ...
Patong Beach, Phuket
This is a top pick! ... white sand. I don't know what all the fuss is about Phuket's beach because it doesn't really compare. But the entertainment in Phuket, however, is world class and definitely one of my favourites. On my arrival at the beach, I was suddently thrown back ...
Phuket
This is a top pick! ... to get around as opposed to up to 400bht in a tuk tuk or taxi. We did well to find the local government central bus station in Phuket and organise tickets to Kao Samui via a 6 hour bus / 2 hour ferry trip. We only just made it there and were really ...
Party Town Phuket
This is a top pick! ... mind the noise, sleezy men, sex in your face, cheap drinks and lots of sun, you'll enjoy Phuket. If not, stay to the cultural areas of Thailand including Chiang Mai or the exclusive beaches away from Patong. I'm paying $264 a night for the ...
Thought i would update you all on the ...
This is a top pick! ... in to the bar! at 12 we have a 'Free bucket' promotion for 10 mins, and for those of you who have not been to Thailand a 'bucket' is a (have i already told this???) anyway it's a kids bucket and spade type buctet with a bottle of Thai whiskey (Sam Song) ...
Beach life in Phuket
This is a top pick! ... girls/she-men dancing on bars - although there are loads more normal bars opened since I was last here -some people say they hate Phuket but we had a great 2 days here - next stop Phi Phi Island Costs ensuite room, no TV or wifi - £14.58 magners - ...
Thailand
