... we were roaming the streets of Bangkok and signs of the celebration were everywhere. Now, here we sat, at a restaurant in Kata, Phuket, watching the celebrations from a TV mounted to a beam. The national pride of Thailand is something to admire. It seemed ...

... found the Phuket International Youth Hostel, which is cheap and clean, if not particularly well located. Wednesday 6 December -taxi to Phuket Town where we got thoroughly bamboozled by a taxi driver who took us to a particular (expensive) restaurant ...

... /lunch was decent for the price in comparison to other places in Surin. If you are bent on staying in Hat Surin, I would recommend Benyada Lodge. IF you are looking to stay in Phuket in general, I wouldn't recommend Surin or Benyada. Happy ...
