Sun and then rain
by hennanights
Phuket has a tropical monsoon climate so it could be fine weather one moment and totally raining buckets the next! I took this picture of my daughter by the pool. One moment she was applying sun tan cream and preparing for a snooze in the sun, the next she was cold and standing in 2 inches of water! As we run for our room we had to avoid dozens of little frogs that had coming out of hiding. We spent the next hour on the porch of our room watching the storm - it was great! When the sun did reappear the air came alive with the sounds of birds, frog and insects who must view the rain as a welcome relief.
This isn't a cultural tip,...

This isn't a cultural tip, more of a reminder about the 500 baht you need to pay at the airport so that you can actaully get out of the counrty! This wasn't included in our trip fare, and you MUST have one of these little thingys to get on your plane! So don't spend ALL your money at the duty free shopping!!

Not very surprisingly, other people who have visited Phuket seemed to have done the same, or almost similar activities as us.
I suspect the reason is because some agency knows we're travelling and hence, the person who picked us up would show us this beaten up catalogue of activities for a fixed price. I think, hence, the prices as quoted could be bargained down if you know where to look.
I would think this tip could belong in the "Tourist Trap" section also.
One Stop Shopping
by pammo about Tesco Lotus
This place kind of reminded me of the Superstore back in Vancouver. It sells lots of stuff (clothes, books, drugstore items, food, electronics, etc.). We bought curry pastes and t-shirts for souvenirs there for cheap. They have lots of neat savoury snacks to try out too, such as Tom Yum pretzel sticks, wasabi peas, crab crackers, etc. You can get lots of other stuff too. Check it out! Curry pastes were about 9 baht. T- shirts were about 59 baht.
