Phuket, known as the pearl of Andaman Sea, is the biggest island of Thailand. It is a province located in the southern part of the country and has many fascinating attractions that lure people around the world to visit. Because of beautiful beaches and sea, wonderful nightlife and nice weather, Phuket becomes one of the top places in Thailand that travelers choose to go, and of course, when they once visit there, they cannot wait to be there again and again.
It is not hard to get to Phuket. If you choose to go there by car, there are almost 900 kilometers from Bangkok to Phuket to drive and may take 8-9 hours totally. However, most people choose to fly there which takes no more than 1 hour and a half from Bangkok and the air fare is not expensive. Thai Airways and other low-cost airlines can serve you with several flights a day from many destinations.
The Phuket airport is a bit far from the popular beaches and well-known hotels. After you reach the island by plane, you can find a lot of services which can take you to your hotel cheap and easily. These services include taxi cars, airport limousines, and service vans waiting you outside the airport. Hotels and other accommodations are not hard to find and mostly their prices are really cheap. You can find luxurious hotels along the popular beaches or some easy home-stays near the communities or department stores. As I mentioned, Phuket is one of the top tourist attractions in Thailand. Even though there are a very large number of hotels and lodgings in Phuket, I recommend you to book a hotel earlier if you go there in the festival time or public holiday period and you will not regret doing that definitely.
Some well-known beaches that you cannot miss are Patong beach, Karon beach and Kata beach. You cannot imagine how beautiful they are. Also, there are a lot of activities along the beaches, you may sunbathe or swim in the sea. If you like exciting activities, you can play parachute or rent a surfboard. You may book a boat tour to the near islands such as Khai islands, Phi Phi islands and Racha islands, and go diving. Tons of beautiful coral reefs and fish are waiting for you.
One of other activities that you can’t definitely miss is watching sunset at Laem Prom Thep. This spot is named for the most beautiful sunset place in Thailand and you will believe it. If you like old buildings and nice architectures, you can also travel to the Phuket city which is located inside the island, a lot of good and tasty food is there. It is another good way for traveling in Phuket if you don’t like crowded tourists.
Nightlife in Thailand is very famous especially in Phuket. You can find clubs, bars and restaurants everywhere. These are just parts of what Phuket is and you need to experience them by yourselves. You may not want to go back to your country forever.

thailand dress style
Dec 27th
Wedding Dress for a beach wedding in Thailand?
We’re getting married on a beach on Koh Samui in December, and it will be very hot and humid. I need some advice on what material to wear, and also what style of dress. Obviously I want to be comfortable and relaxed, but I’d also like the dress to be stunning and special.
Also, does anyone know of any websites were I can look at photos of wedding dresses, or dress designs, so I can get an idea of what I want?
All I know is that I’m not looking at wearing a big white traditional dress!
Thanks!
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! Here are some links I hope you can find a dress at or at least ideas for a dress. For a beach wedding, short or tea length dresses work best. Fabrics like chiffon, georgette, crepe, gauze and linen are perfect for the beach. Sarongs look fabulous and can be worn in many different ways. Don’t forget your feet. Bare feet work at a beach wedding but there’s also foot jewelry you can wear with or without shoes. This would be a great way to sneak in “something blue”.

If you’re checking to see if it’s legal, and how you plan to punish me, please allow me to explain. I’m a PADI Master Instructor of Scuba Diving, and I spend my working days teaching scuba in Thailand. One of the most rewarding experiences for my diving students’ is shooting great photographs of aquatic marine life.
Making underwater photographs in Thailand has many advantages for divers searching for that ‘perfect shot’;
- Clear blue water
- Warm water averaging 28 degrees centigrade
- Pristine Coral Reef formations
- Established Diving Centers and Scuba Equipment Shops
The most popular tourist areas for scuba diving in Thailand are Pattaya, Phuket and Koh Samui. These resorts offer great fun and excitement for beginners and certified divers. Whether it’s vibrant fish life, colourful corals or sunken ship wrecks, the camera won’t stop clicking while you’re scuba diving in Thailand. I’ve captured pictures of Seahorses and giant Gorgonian Sea Fans in Phuket, Black tip reef Sharks in Koh Samui, and World War 11 ship wrecks in Pattaya.
Todays modern camera equipment has changed the way that scuba divers ’shoot’ fish underwater. The traditional film camera is still used by many diving professionals, but digital underwater cameras have made underwater photography both accessible and affordable to the majority of scuba divers. Learning to Scuba Dive is not difficult for most people who are comfortable in the water, but snapping great photos under water takes novices some time to learn. One of the most important attributes is good buoyancy control. Apart from all the obvious advantages that neutral, relaxed buoyancy has for scuba diving, if you’re trying to compose that image of the tiny yellow blob, commonly known as a Frogfish, being able to hover almost motionless just centimetres away from your subject is what sets you apart from the norm. Also, as recreational scuba divers descend, water absorbs colour. Starting with Red, Orange and then Yellow, and as you dive deeper, you’ll lose Green and Blue. Strobe lights help to restore some of the colour that’s lost, which is how the professionals obtain fantastic vibrant colours from their images.
I fully appreciate that not every diver has a passion for taking pictures of the new world that they’ve discovered. Many divers are more fascinated by ship wrecks, perhaps diving deep or making dives using nitrox (an increased amount of oxygen) but most of my scuba buddies have admitted that they are very keen to share the wonders on the underwater world by shooting pictures of fish and other marine life. With modern technology as a friend, it’s now possible to store and share underwater images with your family, friends and even the general public via social sites and the internet. The dive may have been the most amazing experience that you’ve had, but it’s so much more powerful to share the adventures with those for whom it may not be possibly to try scuba diving. PADI scuba courses teach student divers how to capture and share underwater photographs, and the Digital Underwater Photography course is now available to all scuba divers from the age of ten.
Private scuba lessons are becoming more popular now, especially in Thailand. Taking a dive course with you own private scuba instructor offers exclusivity, the personal touch, and usually more flexibility. So to enrol in the shooting fish course, otherwise known as the PADI DUP (digital underwater photography) course, you do need to be a certified diver of at least ten years old. But be prepared for some underwater fun that diving in Pattaya has to offer. The coral reefs are shallower here than other dive sites in Thailand, and the other advantage is that scuba diving in Pattaya is available year round because the Gulf of Thailand tends to be sheltered from the southwest monsoons that arrive in Phuket from June until October. Pattaya is not a famous diving destination, but beginners and experienced divers will be rewarded with some of the best wreck diving in Thailand. So, clean up the lens, replace the batteries and make sure that you have a watertight seal, because when you dive in Pattaya the camera never lies. You really can see Turtles, Seahorses and Sharks, and the wreck dives will leave you breathless (pardon the pun) as you drift along US Landing Crafts from the Second World War that were intentionally sunk by the Thai Navy for the local Thai divers and tourists on a scuba diving holiday in Pattaya.

thailand coup news
Dec 10th
Is anyone else aware of the complete ignorance our goverment is showing in response to the coup in Thailand?
The Thai democracy is very different from our own. They are a completely different culture. They have a king and military to check the balance of power. If the prime minister and/or parliment are not acting in accordance with the wishes of the people, the king or the military take action. Of all the news coverage I have seen no explanation of thier system. Why must we as americans think we know best for everyone on this planet?
I am afraid that I am as ignorant as my government on this one.

weather thailand phi phi
Dec 9th
Looking for info about Krabi/ Railau Bay and Phi Phi?
I’ll be for 8 days in Thailand, thought to spend 2 in Bangkok and the rest on a lovely beach. Heard about Krabi and Phi Phi. Anyone can tell me how the best way to get from Bangkok to Krabi and from Krabi to Phi Phi? Anyone stayed at the Railay Bay Restort and spay? What is the weather there in mid March? Is it a save for a single female traveller? I know lots of questions but if you have an answer to any I highly appreciate it. Thanks
hi
James B as said alot of good things., personally, Phi Phi is poo poo these days……. WITHOUT the loss of life, the tsunami was the best thing ever to happen to phi phi. its over run and over rated ` these days`…. should have seen it in 92, 95, 97 ..however, I love krabi town , K guesthouse on chao fah rd is nice and cheap too . Railay is very noisey with longtail boats tick tick tick ticking away all day long, And you may meet your neighbour there ( or on phi phi poo poo ) There are many other islands around that area and over the other side (` gulf `). Yes it is safe for any traveller, these days , just take normal precautions that you would do at home or in a city at night. you will meet other single females. weather is nice, go get a tan. Enjoy
Stormy weather en route to Phi Phi Island
