Travel Blogs from Phuket, Thailand
Phuket to wait for Debbie (Mom) :)
This is a top pick! ... Once back at the resort we settled her into the beautiful two story town home, situated on the Lagoon in Bang Tao Bay of Phuket. Relaxed a while and explored the grounds in the last afternoon rays. She was doing so great with almost no sleep, but a ...
Thought of a few more things i omited in ...
This is a top pick! ... back to was ours, and the bedroom she described was MINE! so in conclusion 1. that was spooky meeting in a bar in Thailand, and 2. Christian, what the hell were you doing in my bedroom? (actually i don't want to know) That night also provided ...
Back on Land
This is a top pick! Once the Sampai Jumpa had docked, we made our way back to the non-Jewish hotel that we had stayed in before we left to go on the yacht. Air-conditioning was a delight. It was also hard to get our legs together. After ten days at sea, both mine and Lucy's ...
Back to Phuket !
This is a top pick! ... of travel so a flight was in order. Seeing as it was full moon party the prices for everything just rocket - we found a flight out of Phuket and according to our hotel we could get the boat at 7am then the bus and be in Phuket at 2.30pm - perfect a wee ...
Travel certainly brings surprises and ...
This is a top pick! Travel certainly brings surprises and yesterday was no exception! I went on the bus to Phi Phi as planned to meet a few friends i had met in Oz and the plan (WAS) to stay a few days and get down to Singapore to change flight dates to suit the budget a ...
Phuket City
This is a top pick! ... motorbike accidents/fatalities here every year) and then after about an hour we arrived at what only can be described at Thailand's Benidorm. Or so it looked to us anyway. Many many rather large 'package tourists' distinctly resembling beached whales, ...
Thailand - the land of opportunity!
This is a top pick! ... Phuket to Takua Pa. 'The bus station is closed'! What bus stations shut at 6pm. I hated this man, and so far I hated Thailand! Begrudgingly, I went with the others to Patong beach, where I decided I would spend the night and get myself up to Khao Sok ...
June 5 2008
This is a top pick! This was our first full day in Phuket. After a surprisingly good sleep on the very stiff bed, we woke up a bit later in the morning. We went for a walk looking for a place to have breakfast. We found The China Inn, which was a very old ...
It's over already?
This is a top pick! I can't believe that it is over. This has been a vacation full of history, culture, relaxation and fun. We have met such wonderful people, learned a little of the language and become familiar with Buddhism. This is what travel is all about. We had the ...
June 6 2008
This is a top pick! ... are going to check out Surin Beach. It's supposed to be a quieter and not so busy as Patong, the big tourist beach on Phuket Island. We left around 9:30am and found a local bus that was going to Kamala Beach, but would stop at Surin on the ...
Like to share a time share?
This is a top pick! ... for business to pick up. I can only imagine what Patong beach is like when everything is in full swing. A lot of tourist go to Phuket for seedier reasons, strippers, special massages, but we came just for the beach and now we weren't able to enjoy it ...
Is it possible to spontaniously combust?
This is a top pick! ... The hotel is still nearly deserted. There are a few families and the wonderful staff of the hotel. So after a day on the beach in Thailand, even with sun screen on, Cory and I burned to a crisp. Right now we can't even stand the feel of the sheets ...
June 8 2008
This is a top pick! ... a tuk-tuk driver about going to Patong beach. It's not that far away and he wanted 400B. Outrageous! It's 400B to Phuket Town, which is twice as far as Patong. So we spotted a bus and flagged it down. It was going to Kamala ...
Do sharks eat at night?
This is a top pick! ... forever warm our hearts. My life has been enriched by the people of Thailand and especially those that have led us through Thailand. Before we left for Phuket we took a last look at the Chiang Mai Plaza and Cory and I left our flower necklaces with the ...
Well from bangkok i travelled over 800km ...
This is a top pick! ... it's mainly full of 2 week holiday makers that come for the beach, shopping, paragliding, and partying. Having a international airport on Phuket helps draws the crowds in. When we got to onto the island our driver dropped us off at a information shop in ...
Kickboxing midgets and roaming digits.
This is a top pick! ... least in Chiang Mai they knew it was crap and were happy if you bought anything. We headed to the must see event in Thailand, a kickboxing tournament of champions. The tuk tuk guy made enough money from the journey there that he was willing to wait over 4 ...
Oh Phuket!
This is a top pick! ... roads, proper built shops and basically more modern. Phuket is the largest, wealthiest, most populous and most visited part of Thailand - so I'm expecting it to be something similair looking to spain! This is the only time that I have actually seen ...
June 4 2008
This is a top pick! ... and the smell of the bug traps is a bit headache causing, but no bugs! We're so happy to finally be in the south of Thailand, this is where I have wanted to come for so long. We hope we can relax and be beach bums, we'll be heading to the ...
Kata Beach
... Sarah or myself had any information on the island apart from the reports of large scale tourist trappings. I actually wanted to visit Phuket whatever - it was one of the first major tourist islands in the country and I was interested to see what it was ...
Christmas Time
After a short flight to Phuket from Bangkok, we arrived in Patong and checked into our hotel.... the best hotel yet! We were smack bang in the middle of all the action with Bangla Road just round the corner and the beach 5 minutes away. We checked out the ...
The Stench of Patong
Subway for breakfast, was good having something which we were used to from home. The rest of the day was spent relaxing on the beach and taking in the rays. Got a bit of a stomach bug at the moment, don't know if it's just getting used to the ...
A Serene Evening In Phuket
... ended at around 7 pm, Thai time. There was a delay at KLIA as the flight wad delayed and again a long queue at the Phuket International Airport. The Immigration clearence here was really long, I had around 15 guys ahead of me and it took around 1 hour to ...
Thailand: Finishing off Asia with some relaxation.
Layover in icy Kiev, Ukraine, going to Prague: I can see why people fall in love with Thailand. Everything is very inexpensive, the weather is perfect, and the beaches beautiful. Probably cheaper for me to be here for this week than to go back to the ...
Sweltering and Loving It
I love Thailand and the Thai people. It is sweltering hot here and you walk outside and are sweating, but it is fantastic. I have a nice room with A/C and t.v., actually the nicest place I have stayed in six months. On Monday I start class and will be ...
October 12th - Thursday
1st full day in Phuket. Met Jeromy Nolan at breakfast. Breakfast again was huge. Went from breakfast to the pool and pretty much stayed there all day. Jeromy showed me who to deal with and got me his 'rates' from the locals - half price for most ...
Phuket II
... the beach which makes it much more relaxed, theres just some smaller food places in the shade near the beach. It's hard to appreciate Phuket when it's overcast or worse, raining. It's a pity we had shit weather for all of our time in Phuket bar two ...
Phuket, Thailand
Phuket was our first stop in Thailand. I have never seen as many tourists in Asia since the beginning of our trip. The majority of tourists seemed to be older (50's) white Europeans. It literally felt like everyone was a tourist when you walked on the ...
Phuket
So here we are on phuket enjoying the sun and water, of which there is plenty of both, so we are hanging out in the hotel unwinding from so much travel. I took some pics of the hotel and the more famous landmarks of the beer drinking group....so here it ...
Pooooooket
Paul & I landed here in Patong (a beach on Phuket) on Monday afternoon just in time to catch the U.S. Navy, which was apparently at port here. Fantastic. The hostess bars on Bangla Road (the main road on Patong) were in full force, trying to attract the ...
