How to get to Phuket?

I have now been asked by several people on the best way to fly to Phuket. Well to be totally honest I have only ever traveled to Phuket via Malaysia, so I will give you information on that from personal experiences as for flying from UK I will have to use information from friends and research.

Views over Kata & Karon Beach

There is one famous viewpoint that overlooks Kata and Karon Beach which is named Kata Viewpoint or Karon Viewpoint either way they are amazingly original names don't you think? Well just to inform those who are not familiar with these two beaches. Kata and Karon beach are situated on the Western coast of Phuket and are two of the few famous beaches here in Phuket.

Koh Khai Day Trip

Phuket has are lots of smaller islands scattered around its coast line of various sizes, some of which I plan to visit over the next year or so. The other day we went to one of the closest islands which is situated just off the South Eastern Coast called Koh Khai or Khai Island. Koh being the Thai word for island.

IndoChine Resort & Villas

This is my first post on resorts here in Phuket and it is also one the most exclusive resorts on the island. Those of you who know IndoChine for its bars and clubs will already know that the resort is spectacular.

Promthep Cape

On the wonderfully beautiful island of Phuket you can discover so many amazing view points, all with their own uniqueness to them. I have been told that the very best view point in Phuket to see the sunset is at Promthep Cape (or Laem Promthep). I must say I have to believe what I heard as it is truly an unforgettable sight. 

Visa Run

For those of you who are already familiar with the Visa Run trips will know all about the journey to Ranong. I am off tomorrow morning at about 6:30 where I will jump on a mini bus with about 9 other foreigners or Farang as the Thais call us.

Red Shirts

One issue that I feel needs to be addressed first is about the current political situation here in Thailand. Because of all the press coverage around the world depicting Thailand as a very unsafe place to visit everyone has a bad impression towards this amazing country.

Phuket Blogging... First post.

After much thought and as I seem to have more time on my hands these days, I have decided to start writing a blog. The main topic will be about life in and around Phuket, Thailand. But knowing me I will probably slide off the subject and into various other topics... but whatever it is I hope it is interesting and you continue to follow me on my travels through life.
