Sawatdee Phuket!
I have no idea where to start but I know I had a really good break this Christmas. Here’s a condensed update on my Phuket trip. The dive sites generally suck and visibility was horribly bad. Shark Point was kinda disappointing even though I was told that it’s supposed to be one of the best dive site in Phuket. Koh Doc Mai was the worst among all. There were a few times when the visibility was so crappy that I thought my mask had fogged up. The company was good though and I enjoyed the trip nonetheless. By the way, the roadside pancake and foot massage were awesome!
Sugar Palm Resort is a pretty chic and contemporary boutique hotel that is situated opposite Kata Beach. The staff was exceptionally helpful and accommodating to our never ending requests ha ha.
We headed to Patong Beach for countdown but we were almost three hours early. So we passed time by kooing at one corner (talia’s version of relak at one corner) and taking absolutely bo liao pictures. Countdown suck because the emcee was unbelievably SUPER ANTI CLIMAX!
We spent the last day at Kata Beach and had a lot of fun with the waves crashing on the beach.
Our virgin attempt at launching a firework. I guess 200 baht is pretty worth for all the laughter we had.
When fireworks go wrong, it’s not that funny.

Been to Phuket Town twice now, first time was in July 2004, then back at Songkran 2007. What a fantastic place! It provides for everyone: if your looking for neighborly locals there is masses of them, if your looking for delicious thai food there is a great deal and night life is outstanding. If you want a affordable vacation, you can have it – if you want a pricey vacation, you can have it as well. My girlfriend is totally in love with the place and has just bought into a resort over there. My kids love it too. What a great place to celebrate Christmas!
