Hotels in Phuket - Prices and Reviews

Wandered around aimlessly this morning in the hope of finding a post office to send more dtuff home. Realised that our map was missing a few roads and was definately not to scale........when we returned Hels had really caught the sun on arms and shoulders......and she has been so careful with creams but just forgot this once. Checked e-mails and...

EXCITING news got my luggage and all is still safe and secure... we've moved hotels to somewhere quite nice and just walk out our door to the hotel pool and just down an arcade...

January 17, 2008 Today was a day of elephant trekking, snake show viewing and tattoo's. Started off the day with some elephant trekking. Sherry & I were riding a 16 year old female. Of the 30+ elephants at the facility, only one was male. The ride took about an hour and we rode through some of the hillside areas. Our guide even made some insects...

I hate riding on a night bus (or train or plane) because I can never sleep. But it is the best value for the money for travel cost and you don't have to pay for a hotel. I slept a bit but the bus was always pulling over for who knows what (my theory that they were running ahead of schedule). We arrived at 6 am and I got off the bus to a swarm of...

Today was another early start. It was a day full of travel. Joy. Helda's flight to Singapore was at 9am, mine to Thailand was at 11.20am. I decide to just go to the airport with Helda at 7am, id rather be there with her than in Vietnam by myself. So in a cab by 6.30am we head off, so very happy to be leaving, singing and smiling once again. Afte...

Today is our flight to Phuket. we left our big backpacks at reception (unfortunately Wit wasn't there that time and so we had to pay for them...) Originally we weren't going to stay there at all, but when we got in we found out that the last boat for Phi Phi already left (5.30 PM). We had no choice but to get a taxi and spend the night. Got a ta...

Ko Phangan to Phuket was a journey packed with scams to rob your money but we came through it without shelling out any more! The boat and bus journeys from Ko Phangan to Surat Thani went without a hitch but the minibus to Phuket from there was hellish. We arrived in Surat Thani at around 11.15 to find that the bus wasn't due to leave until 12.30...

Today was our scheduled trip to Kok Chang where we were going to take a quick trip in the elephant baskets before we were supposed to meet the two gibbons that have taken up residence in the rubber plantation forests surrounding the facility. For the most part the elephants here are fairly well taken care of and the mahouts are relatively even w...

The resort is easy accessible to beachs and spoting centres. This Resort is developing one with your visit to this resort leaving your needs and commends we can further improve the standard...

Last time I wrote I wasn't sure if I was going to volunteer or not. In the end I did. I think it was the sob story about how there wasn't enough people to feed the gibbons and if I didn't come they would die that did it for me. A major exaggeration but it got me there! I've spent 3 weeks there, living in the project-provided accomodation (a fair...
