Off The Beaten Path: Jungle like
  • Tip Rating:
  • There are still places on Phuket island where some of the forest is left.

    Looking at it is like looking at a green wall.

    I would not advice to go in there, though.
    As far as I know neither do the Thais. The reason is, that there are a lot of snakes on the island -and especially in the underbush - that are poisonous.

    Off The Beaten Path: Way of living
  • Tip Rating:
  • No, most Thais do not live in such huts anymore but in normal houses.

    But they still can be seen on the island - mostly a litte away from the normal roads.

    And I thought it would make a good motive.

     My dad spent a year living in Thailand back in 1970. He said Phuket was incredible. Nice pages, looks like y'all had a great time. I'd love one of those nice, long massages.
