Phuket

The Island of Phuket on the Southwestern peninsula of Thailand has developed into a tourist destination onto itself hugely popular with Europeans. With its own international airport, some travelers connect to fly directly to the island for their entire Thailand vacation. White sand beaches are backed by resort hotels and guest houses as well as hill top wats. Aside from the standard restaurants, T shirt, sunglasses, and gift shops that accompany a tourist destination, Phuket’s other popular businesses include numerous tailored suit shops, massage parlors (with both standard and extra services available), as well as bars where higher priced drinks come complete with young ladies for company.

We stayed here for a couple of days to enjoy the great beaches and also did our dive trip out of this area.

Yes I am reading it and checking out lonely planet and wikipedia, my questions are too stupid to post. I am loving this blog, don't stop yet! I think you should just keep on traveling, for ever. I think I am enjoying it more than if I was there. Laura

nice photos! I think I've seen more of Thailand and the surrounding areas from you than from my brother that's been living there for 2 years.

You could give travel blog lessons.
