This picture is taken at Nai Harn Beach. This attractive beach is quieter and more peaceful compared to other beaches. It is popular for swimming and as a yacht anchorage during the dry season. In the evening or during the wet season, powerful waves are common, making swimming dangerous.

A regular bus service runs between the beach and Phuet Town during the daytime. Nai Harn lies slightly north of Prom Thep, at the southern tip of Phuket.

While at the Kata view point, i came across this eagle vendor displaying his pet eagles. He is willing to allow anyone to have photo session (with your own camera) with any eagle for the price of 150baht.

Surprising, the eagles are very tame and obedient. Its really worth the money as my only chance of getting close to any eagle is when it is flying in the sky. haha........

This is the environment of the local people living in the Phuket Town area. One of the reasons for them living there is due to the tourist influx that raised the property prices throughout Phuket with Patong being the most expensive sites.

This picture is taken in the vicinity of where i stayed at a homestay in Phuket Town, Summer Breeze Inn.

Have a taste living with the local Thai people.
