"Easily Accessible Thailand Getaway" Phuket by zrim

Phuket Travel Guide: 3,164 reviews and 8,588 photos

Phuket is very commercial: lots of resorts, lots of traffic, lots of tourists, lots of t-shirt shops. But yet, Phuket is Thailand and as such it is also: very beautiful, very hot, and to me, very exotic.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:It is Asia, good food, good fun, good people
  • Cons:noise and traffic
  • In a nutshell:It is Thailand, what's not to like

    Another cool page of Phuket with tantalizing photos. Yes, I agree that gibbons with their long arms should be swinging from trees to tress in the jungle. In Borneo, orangutan babies have been made into "pets".

    Nice page on Phuket. I will likely include it in my 2008 trip to Thailand.

    Great picture and nature. A cruise on the June Bahtra sounds great. I can't stop think over tsunami though...

    It's Thailand - what more needs to be said. Great pics and tips on a great (if now overdeveloped in places) location
