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.

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.

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.
