    It is OK here - come. I was here Jan. 1 thru Jan. 15th 2005 and everyday you could see a difference (visitng friends who live there).

    The Thai people are working incredibly hard and it shows. The recovery is unpresidented and fast. Kata and Karon were not as affected and everything is OPEN. Beach Road in Patong (Road that parallels the Beach) is basicly the only part affected (about the 1st block moving inland). However they are making such a fast recovery, here it is only 1 week after the Tsunami, 85% of the Hotels are up and running, there are shops and resturants open. It is amazing. There are even a lot of tourists still here. Updates are posted daily on www.phuket.com if you want to see pictures.

    We arrived late at night, about 7pm. We took an airport transfer bus direct to our hotel in Kata. Well, actually, not direct, because they have to drop other passengers in other hotels, and also dropped by a travel agency, trying to sell us package. It took us about 1.5 hours to arrive at Kata Beach Resort.

    When in Phuket, enjoy a Thai massage. For 200 baht, it can't be beat... (I had one each and every day I was there...)

    Island activites: Fantasy Fantasea
  • Tip Rating:

    • Winner of 'Best Attraction Award' by Thailand Tourism, Fantasea , the ultimate night time cultural theme park set on 140 acres next to Kamala Beach. It is not only showcases the charm and beauty of Thailand, but also enriches ancient Thai traditions with the wonder of cutting edge technology and special effects. (Official website)

    A must visit is the magnificent Palace of Elephant, a state-of-the-art theater with wonderful acoustics. Inside the palace, 'Fantasy of a Kingdom Show' is performed every day at 7 pm, whisking you through the Kingdom's region. Reservation recommended.

    Island activites: Getting around
  • Updated By gonzo2002pt on September 13, 2002
  • Phuket Page by gonzo2002pt
    • My favorite thing about getting around in Phkuet is that you can choose from dozens of little travel agencies for the best deal on tours. Dont stop at the first one. Hagle the price. Get the best deal of all. Its fun.

    Going to Coral Island with my girlfriend, after hiring the trip from a local fisherman at Rawai Beach.

    Awsome.

    Kata Beach is great for couples. Many restaurants, diving operators, shops etc. This hotel have a kind of village feel which is great. Kata Beach also provides a lot of trees which can be very comforting when the midday sun is burning your socks out.

    The Kata Beach Resort, Phuket is located directly on Kata beach and within walking distance to a variety of shops and restaurants. The large swimming pool has a jacuzzi and swim-up bar overlooking the sandy beach. All rooms are decorated in a modern Thai style with high levels of facilities and services. Ideal resort for those seeking rest and relaxation.

    Island activites: A Stroll down the roads of Phuket...

    My first instinct was to change into a pair of beach shorts..and hit-you guessed it,the beach! Walking down the main Patong Road from the Holiday Inn(where we were at) to Soi Bangla,HAS to be just about the most entertaining experience ever! From Hindi songs (being sung to me-the Indian!) and souvenirs, to tuktuks, the sunset,the alternating Thai and Modjo music, streetside bars and tempting discounts..Patong Beach Road has it all!!

    Walking the longg beach stretch-getting my hair braided, and my navel tattoed, and my nails painted, the delicious barbequed wares and sub sandwiches,cold beers and water sports, live music and tantalising thai food!
