I just had a fantastic holiday in Phuket with a couple of mates, David and Nghia. First we stayed at the Thavorn Beach Hotel which was amazing but a little bit too far from the hustle and bustle of Patong beach (namely the Thaweewong and Bangla Road areas) so moved to the Patong Beach Hotel right in the heart of where the action was. Now we were in walking distance of all the restaurants, bars and shops which was heaps better.
Apart from the boozing and partying at night we also did a few tours. Most of our tours were in and around the Phang Nga area. There we road the ATVs (All terrain vehicles), went white water rafting, elephants treking, sea canoing and we even braved the bungy at World Bungy in Patong Beach. Now that was an experience I’ll never forget! Anyways, here are some of the photos from the trip.

Nghia has just compiled a YouTube video of the Thailand trip. It’s pretty funny.

Dave you look necked in that picture! hahahaha
Didn’t that area suffer the brunt of damage during the tsunami? If so, was there any evidence of the tsunami?
Have you been to the States?
Yes, the place was hit hard by the 2004 tsunami but has since been pretty much completely rebuilt. The only evidence of the tsunami I could see were the warning signs scattered around the town advising of where to go in the case of another tsunami and the tsunami photographs sold by the local street vendors.
No, I haven’t been to the States yet but I’m definitely planning to. Hopefully in the next 12 months or so.
Do many people speak English in Phuket? I am considering a trip there myself and wondered if I would be completely lost only being able to speak English.
You’ll have no trouble at all since most people in Phuket speak some English. It would make sense since the vast majority of tourists holidaying there were from Australia. That’s how it was when I was there anyway.
Thavorn Beach Hotel,it was great! I were selecting between Royal Yacht Club and Thavorn Beach Hotel, looking through the reviews and photoes and decided to stay here.
