Bear with me as I poke fun at the overtly aggressive selling efforts of the tailors on Phuket. No matter we went in Phuket, someone tried to sell Steve  a suit and me a gown. There was a tailor on every block! It got to be a bit much, and we went from politely declining, to ignoring them, to t…

I have hobby to look and take pictures at hotel and apartment. This is an apartment in Phuket call ‘Ocean View Ao Po’ It is a simple apartment with minimum architectural value. However, with some plants and grass, the complex looks much better. I happened to come across while I was working in A…

The last day in Phuket we decided to get massages at a local place outside the hotel complex. Boy, was it worth it! After a relaxing morning and afternoon, it was time to head to the airport. It was to reopen at 17:00. Tons of folks were trying to get out for their connections home including me…

Diving Day. The task at hand... Ach and I were to head South of Phuket on a tour, and my first experience of diving. The bus picked us up at 830am, then hopped a boat. Got a little instruction. Grabbed my digital camera(Of which i have a waterproof case for) and plunged into the sea. We all floated…

After having a horrible nights sleep I awoke as fresh as I could under the circumstances. Having my first full day in Thailand in front of me I was naturally quite excited. So I doubt I would have slept in even if I was even more sleep deprived (which I doubt is possible). Being on an island, natur…

I don't think we could have planned this trip any better - well besides that fact that we would have LOVED more time in each place but staying in Phuket was perfect.  There was even an elephant in our hotel that posed when you pulled out your camera.  Perfect! I said I HAVE to see an elep…

Alas the time has come already to say goodbye to Phuket:( We had a lovely time and needles to say we enjoyed the hotel also very much. Ah well perhaps we'll return again some time in the future who knows. After checking out we arranged a taxi this time to bring us to the airport. The ride took arou…

I guess it can be said that this is one of the most beautiful beach in the world. I took a speed boat to Phiphi island with other tourist. It didnt look like I was expected cause this is the beach where THE BEACH movie was taken. They must be took from another angle.

I went to Phuket with a broken heart. I was supposed to visit the place with my ex-boyfriend, but we broke up just in time not to make it there together. Grabbed a buddy at the last minute, and to my surprise, I had 4 solid days of fun, heavenly lazing, and misadventures =) I was never a fan of Ph…

The driver picked me up and took me to Bang Rong Pier. I booked a speedboat, because I get too impatient on the slow boat, and because the day was slow they gave me a huge discount. The normal price was 2,600 THB which included transport, speedboat, fruits, lunch, kayaking. I got the price of …

People i met here who contributed to, and improved my trip: Julia (Russia)Phuket is Thailand's premier holiday destination and is renowned for its World class beaches and 5 star diving. There were 2 issues that had been playing on my mind about our visit here. The first was whether i was going to d…

A few photos from my excursion to Phuket after my business school trip

Really enjoyed spending time at Raya Island and also loved the ATV ride!

I went to Phuket last year and I loved it, so decided to go back again... however I think I would chose Langkawi over phuket next time! Even more westernised that last time I was here, and even more aussies! Its like I havent even left melbourne... apart from the guys in the shops grabbing my hand…

Checked out of Le Meridien, we booked a driver to take us to Phuket Airport, costs 1,500baht ($71). This is the only driver who came, not on time, but EARLY! So we tipped him an additional 100baht. We arrived at the airport at 4:15, our flight was at 7:20. It was empty except for the security guard…
