a virgin to thailand…the people the place the island.. the paradise where things can happen..

I stayed at Le meridien where everything is catered to your whims.. however conversing with the locals is quite difficult since most of them cannot speak english.

Too many lady boys along the Patong and Bangla roads where nightlife happens..

Koh Khai.. the egg island.. i only saw few fishes while snorkeling but maybe because the tide was high already at the time we went there but the weather was really good as if the sun was smiling on us.. fine grains of sand except fot small rocks (lol)….

  • travel.nytimes.com Introduction to Phuket by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 At its best, this island in the Andaman Sea is idyllic: It has long sandy beaches (some with dunes), warm water, excellent snorkeling and scuba diving off Koh Similan, ideal windsurfing conditions, mountains, fine resorts and some of the best seafood in all of Thailand. At its worst, it is overdeveloped, overrun with tour groups and areas like busy Patong's pulsing commercial strip and raucous nightlife are a bit too much for those in search of beachside tranquillity. Over the years, the Thai government has granted economic incentives to encourage developers to shape the island into an international first-class resort. Hotels -- some of them enormous -- line every beach. As groups pour in from Singapore, Hong Kong, and Europe, backpackers head off to nearby Koh Phi Phi, or islands on the eastern Gulf like Samui and Pha Ngan. (read article)
