7h, reveil. 8h, depart du bateau sur la jetée de Coral Bay. 9h, arrivée au port de Kuala Bessut. Taxi collectif pour la frontiere, 1h30. Passage de la douane thai, cinq minutes. N'oublie pas d'avancer ta montre d'une heure hein? Marcher jusqu'a la gare routiere. Prendre un billet pour Hat Yai. Pause dejeuner, dix minutes, depart. Arrivée a Hat Y...

As I have said before, if given the proper amount of forewarning I would have been more than happy to buy some cheap ass plane tickets to phuket but since ninny is not known for her decisiveness we were forced to bus it. I'm used to the overnight buses truth be told. I can somehow just turn off my higher brain functions and I become in essence a...

(Jim) We are now on our third and last week at the Marriott resort in Phuket, Thailand. I've talked before about the differences between tourists and travelers. Most places we've been travelers or better, genuinely interested in getting to know how ordinary people live, committed to experiencing some of the real flavor of each destination. Not h...

Sat Wat Dii Khrap from Koh Phuket Thailand! In case you think I've gone crazy, that's a phonetic spelling of "Hello" in Thai. Even Jon-Jon has gotten good at addressing people with the phrase. However, the Thai alphabet is not in anyway associated with the Roman Alphabet all us westerners have gotten to know so well. And so, when translating bet...

We're in Phuket, and it's scorching hot. 35 degrees apparently. We find THE cheapest hostel, which we enter through the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant - although both restaurant and hostel seem inappropriate words for the establishment. It works out at 86 pence for the night though, so there's no complaining. After an afternoon of planning we g...

Ankunft Phuket in einem neeten 5 sterne Hotel, fuer wenig Geld. Hier ist es super schoen, alles neu, ein klasse modernes und sauberes Zimmer mit Meerblick. Genau das richtige um fuer einen Tag wieder zurueck in eine Welt nach westlichem Standard zu tauchen. Ein riesiger Pool mit Ausblick aufs offenen Meer. Das Hotel scheint sehr neu zu sein. Der...

HE SAID: We checked in out our new favorite hotel, Indigo Pearl in Nai Yang Beach, Phuket; www.indigo-pearl.com. Wow! Two amazing infinity edge pools that look like the bottom of the pool is made out of pearl. The other is made to look like a beach. At night there is great entertainment by a very talented band, not to mention steps from our hote...

21st to 24th Sept 2007 On Friday I decided to fly down to Phuket to make the most of the rest and relaxation. I arrived around 1230 after a 50 minute flight from Bangkok. The hotel in Phuket is fabulous and my room looks over Karon beach and the 2 of the 3 hotel pools. When I arrived, there was a little excitment at first outside my room. When I...

From Singapore I flew up to the island of Phuket, Thailand (the land of a thousand smiles). The most annoying time is always stepping out of the airport, people trying to haggle you for something, knowing you're fresh off the plane and unfamiliar with pricing...especially at night. I had a reservation at a hostel in Phuket Town so I got into a c...

Doxycycline sucks. I am taking it for anti-malaria and it is really messing with me. I have been taking it in the morning before breakfast but it has really been making me sick. I am going to have to start eating first. That should help. Anyway, today is our last day in Phuket so we wanted to go to a beach that was mentioned in the Lonely Planet...
