    PHUKET THAILAND
    2008-06-19 01:13:34
    Phuket is Thailand's biggest island. The water itself may not beas breathtaking as Phi Phi or Similan island, but it's stillbeautiful. My suggestion is you stay at Phuket and then take aboat to Phi Phi, Similan or other smaller nearby islands for asnorkeling or diving trip.Phuket Thailand becomes lively during the night -- with all thepubs, bars and restaurants opening until midnight or later. Youcan choose to stay at your hotel and have romantic dinner there. Or you can choose to take a stroll at Phuket's popular Patong beach for some night scene. Phuket has dozens of beaches.Each has tens, if not hundreds, of hotels. If you don't like acrowded beach with hundreds of restaurants and bars, stay awayfrom Patong beach.Looking to find a nice Phuket Thailand hotel that's just perfectfor your budget? No problem. I'll recommend some nice hotels for you. Well, if you don't mind a very huge lagoon next to the beach and a very big resort hotel, then stay at the Laguna Phuket. Actually at the La

    THE EAST COAST OF PHUKET ISLAND
    2008-05-31 10:25:09
    Tin mines and docks take up a lot of Phuket’s east coast, which is thus neither scenic nor swim able. East of Rawai, the sizeable offshore island of Lone Island pretects the broad sweep of Ao Chalong, where many a Chinese fortune was made from the huge quantities of tin mined in the bay. Ao Chalong tapers off eastwards into Laem Panwa, at the tip of which you’ll find the Phuket Aquarium, 10km south of Phuket town and accessible by frequent songthaews. Run by the island’s Marine Research Center, it makes a poor substitute for a day’s snorkeling, but not a bad primer for what you might see on a reef. The research center is also involved in the protection of marine turtles; there’s a hatchery on the premises, although it’s out of bounds to casual visitors. Around the other side of Laem Panwa, the island’s main port of Ao Makham is dominated by a smelting and refining plant, bordered to the north by Siray Island, just about qualifying as an island because of the narrow ca

    PHUKET TOWN
    2008-05-31 10:01:59
    Thought it has plentiful hotels and restaurants, Phuket Town stands distinct from the tailor-made tourist settlements along the beaches as a place geared primarily towards its residents. Most visitors hang about just long enough to jump on a beach-bound songthaew (local minibus), but you may find yourself returning for a welcome dose of real life; Phuket town has an enjoyably authentic market and some of the best handicraft shops on the island. If you’re on a tight budget, the town is worth considering as a base, as accommodation and food come a little less expensive, and you can get out to all the beaches with relative ease. Bear in mind, though, that the town offers little in the way of nightlife, and as public transport to and form the more lively beaches stops at dusk, you’ll have to either rent your own wheels or spend a lot of money on tuk-tuks.Aside from a manically bustling market on Thanon Ranong there’s not a great deal to see, though a two-hour wander around the street

    This account of the island starts at the top of Phuket’s most appealing coast and follows an anti-clockwise route around the perimeter, through the chief tourist centers. The west coast boasts a series of long sandy beaches punctuated by shear rocky headlands, unprotected form the monsoons and consequently quite rough and windswept from May to October. Shadowed by the mainland, the east coast is much more sheltered and thus makes a convenient docking point for ships, but is hopeless for swimming and sunbathing.List of Beaches around Phuket IslandPhuket TownHat Mai Khao BeachHat Nai Yang BeachHat Nai Thon BeachAo Bang TaoHat Surin Beach (Ao Pansea)Hat Kamala and Laem Singh BeachAo PatongAo KaronAo Kata Yai and Ao Kata NoiHat Nai Harn and Laem PromthepHat Rawai and its islandsThe East Coast of Phuket

    Buying property in Phuket
    2008-04-08 18:47:00
    Real estate in Phuket is, in some respects, a lot more established and sophisticated compared to other coastal regions, like Pattaya, Krabi and Koh Samui. There is a wide range of estate agents: Phuket One Real Estate, Tropical Homes and Knight Frank to name a few. This alone attracts a large number of foreign investors to a market once dominated by buyers from Hong Kong and Singapore. Phuket real estate is now seeing a large influx of European and American buyers. The common price tags for properties ranges from 5 million to a 20 million baht, largely depending on location and size, with beachfront and sea view properties going for significantly higher prices. Phuket was very heavily marketed in the 1990s by Laguna Phuket - an area of man-made lagoons in the Bang Tao district. A lot of spin off properties are now available to buy from companies associating themselves with large brand names such as the Banyan Tree, Sheraton, Allamanda and Dusit Laguna.

    Wat Chalong : Phuket Province

    [ photo credit to wadthai.info ]Wat Chalong is Phuket’s most important Buddhist temple and is the biggest and most ornate of Phuket’s 29 Buddhist monasteries.This is where stands the cast statue of Luang Por Cham,who helped the people of Phuket put down the Angyee, or Chinese Coolie, Rebellion in 1876 during the reign of Rama V.

    Why Phuket Real Estate ?
    2008-03-08 16:09:00
    When planning a Phuket holiday choose both your season and your beach very carefully. Each of the island's beaches is quite different in atmosphere and density of hotel development. Below we list all major beaches, starting with the most densely populated, moving through to beaches with little or no habitation. First choose your beach, then look for a suitable hotel.Phuket is just 8 degrees from the equator, helping make the Andaman Sea especially calm compared to oceans in the colder climates where the spinning of the earth creates regular trade winds, and rough ocean conditions. The waters of the Andaman are warm all year around, averaging about 28 degrees Celsius even during the northern winter months when Phuket is at its best. This is the high' season - November to April - when the Northeast winds are light, often leaving the island's entire western shore as calm as a swimming pool, and as clear.

    land for sale in Phuket
    2008-03-03 09:55:00
    If you have made the decision to buy land for sale in Phuket, there are many ways to set about finding the right plot. First of all, you should decide where you want the land and what you will do with it. Almost all the beach front land on the west coast of the island has been bought and developed, and any parcels that have not are so outrageously priced that even very high-end developers are giving them a miss. Currently, the east coast of Phuket is being developed at such a rate that it will rapidly catch up to the west coast but there are some good land parcels that have not been snapped up yet.The east coast of the island is covered in mangroves and has only a few scattered beaches. However, this coast opens onto the sheltered Phang Nga Bay, which offers year-round sailing that the west coast cannot. For this reason, all but one of the marinas on the island are located on the east coast. While the area is not as busy with nightlife glitz and shopping, it is expected to explode with

    2008-01-01 15:15:00
    To enjoy a panoramic view of Kata Noi, Kata and Karon beaches, there is a vantage point on the beach route between Nai Han and Kata Noi beaches.Rawai BeachLocated to the south of the island, Rawai is the first beach that brought fame to Phuket Island. The coconut-fringed route from the Chalong Intersection to Rawai is one of the most beautiful roads in Phuket. It is a good beach area where sea-people reside and where several restaurants provide different styles of delicious foods, especially seafood, shell handicraft shops, and both fishing and charter boats.Naihan BeachNaihan is a place for those who love peace and quiet. Its most picturesque landscape can be seen on the way from the north of Phromthep Cape down to the beach. It has a large freshwater behind it that flows into the sea at the southern end and some good snorkeling at the northern end. It's not a place to hire a jet ski or expect a lot of action. Just yachts bobbing in the bay, vendors selling ice cream and drinks and a fine sandy beach. Great for swimming from November to April, but it is not advisable to go for a swim here during the monsoon season (from May to October).Kata BeachKata Beach is many people's favourite beach in Phuket. Stunningly beautiful with surfing from May to October, from November to April surfing is replaced by snorkeling and sunbathing and other watersports. The beach is palm lined and fairly busy but never too crowded to be annoying.In the high season, yachts moor just offshore, adding to the ambience and the sunsets here are some of the best in Thailand. Restaurant lined or tree lined, there's a perfect spot for everyone at Kata.Karon BeachKaron is one of Phuket's longer beaches, very popular due to its fine white sand. Being so long the sunbeds are well spaced out so it never feels crowded. Just across a low hill to the north of Kata, the long white beach of Karon stretches magnificently with pines and palms standing tall over the rolling sand-dunes providing a unique s

    WHERE TO STAY & HANGOUT IN PHUKET
    2008-01-01 09:48:00
    The ResortAmanpuriPansea Beach, PhuketThere is a ‘place of peace’ nestled amongst coconut palms which leads to a private crescent beach touching brilliant turquoise sea. This place is Amanpuri, on Thailand’s jade green island of Phuket, where nature and culture harmoniously merge, yielding a pure tranquillity where less means more and luxury is found in graciousness.Nestling in a spectacular grove of palm trees, the forty Thai-style temple pavilions are scattered under the swaying fronds like private residences in an oriental palace garden. Little footpaths link them to the blackly shimmering swimming pool, the restaurants, the library and the shopping galleria. But you can happily spend your entire stay in your teak villa, with private pool, personal servants, your own cook and a dream-like peace hovering between the roaring of the sea and jungle cacophony. Sailing, surfing, water-skiing or a a game of tennis are activity enough to fill the day. For divers, anglers and photographers a yacht lies at anchor, from which to explore the submarine world between coral reefs, uninhabited islands and the eerie caves which once formed a James Bond film scenario.The Charm HotelThe Royal Phuket Yacht Club a Puravarna ResortNai Harn Beach, PhuketCalm and serene, The Royal Phuket Yacht Club a Puravarna Resort is one of Thailand's premier resorts and provides an oasis of peace and tranquility.

    PHUKET - Thailand
    2008-01-01 05:01:00
    Everything under the sun. Lapped by the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea, the white palm-fringed beaches shimmer invitingly in the tropical sunlight, skirting jungle-clad hills dotted with picturesque villages. This lush paradise off the west coast of Thailand's southern isthmus has the scenic attributes of a dream island for all seasons, spiced with Oriental mystique and bathed in smiling charm.In centuries past, trading clippers braved local pirates to rite out storms and replenish supplies in Phuket's sheltered bays. They bartered European products for ivory, pearls, gems and ambergris. The island's rich natural resources and strategic location attracted in turn the Malays (who first christened in Bukit, 'hill'), the Siamese, Burmese, and even the British. But Bangkok won the day and the East India company's final choice feel in Penang. Until a decade ago, Phuket grew quietly prosperous on its tin mines and its rubber and pineapple plantations, remaining the secret refuge of a Noah's Ark of jungle creatures and the handful of hardened travelers undeterred by the long, hazardous trek over poor roads.Today the Sleeping Beauty of the South has been roused by the arrival of winged leviathans disgorging hordes of sun-seekers from greyer climes. A string of hotels and the attendant holiday funfair have sprung up between the gracious colonial villas and along the beaches of the western shoreline: Mai Khao, Nai Yang, Bang Thao, Pansea Bay, Surin, Kamala, Karon, Kelim, and Patong. By day you need miss none of the wind-surfing-parasailing-boogie-board routine, nor the snorkeling and scuba diving which enable you to explore the wonders of the underwater universe on your doorstep. After a hard day's tanning the neon lights of Patong may flash less provocatively than in Patpong, but the seafood here will be even fresher. Off the mass-tourist track is the Amanpuri, the island's lighthouse for civilized pleasures in luxurious tranquility and one of the world's gre

    Thai boxing (Phuket)
    2007-12-25 19:30:00
    Thai boxing or Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand. This martial art has its origins in the ancient battlefield skills of the Thais. It evolved from Krabi-Krabong, literally sword and baton, the hand-to-hand tactics the Thais used in warfare. As a spectator sport, Muay Thai began as bouts between different companies within the Siamese army with few rules and no weight divisions or time limits.In the 1930s, the rules of Thai Boxing were changed in the interest of safety to be based on the Marquis of Queensbury's rules. Contestants now had to wear international style gloves, as opposed to horsehide straps that were in common usage, but were still allowed to use almost any part of their body - feet, elbows, legs, knees, and shoulders. In fact the only part of the body that can't be used is the head.

    Phuket History
    2007-12-25 19:15:00
    Phuket Ancient Times Southern Thailand has been inhabited since the early days of mankind by ancient tribes who settled and or adapted their lifestyles to the local environment. Who arrived first and who pushed out or assimilated who has kept archaeologists occupied for a long time, and promises to keep them working for a good while to come. Remains of domesticated rice found at Spirit Cave, Thailand, may date from before 6800 BC. The development of bronze (copper and tin) for use in weapons and tools generally marks the time when archaeologists consider a society to have left the Stone Age. Discoveries in Thailand since 1960 have upset traditional theories concerning the origins of copper and bronze technologies. It had been thought that the use of bronze had originated in the Middle East, but discoveries near Ban Chiang, Thailand indicate that bronze technology was known there as early as 4500 BC. This preceded the working of bronze in the Middle East by several hundred years. Greece by comparison did not enter the Bronze Age until 3000 BC and China not until 1800 BC. What tribe or group of people created this advanced civilization and what happened to them is a matter of great debate. The developments were localized and did not affect the region as a whole. This is due in part to Southeast Asia having some of the most inhospitable and inaccessible terrain in the world. This allowed some areas to develop into very sophisticated and modern societies while a few miles away deep in the jungles and remote mountain areas primitive societies survived. Tin, a commodity as valuable as gold to ancient kingdoms was discovered several millennia ago in the Kathu (central) district of Phuket. Tin in seemingly endless quantities was easily extracted from veins near the surface. While no written records exist of when tin was first discovered and mined, cave drawings and recovered artwork and other artifacts go back well into the Stone Age. In ancient times people did not mine fo

    Forget Phuket
    2007-11-30 21:04:00
    You've seen the pictures of one of Thailand's main drawcards: shimmering blue water lapping along the shores of the white-sand beaches, limestone outcrops rising out of the ocean.You may have even seen movies set around the picturesque islands. Think of The Beach, where Leonardo DiCaprio and friends discover their own island 'paradise'.Then there's Ko Phing Kan, better known as James Bond Island since its feature role in The Man With The Golden Gun in the 1970s.So where exactly are these postcard-perfect gems in Thailand?It must be the tourist mecca of Phuket, right? Or Ko Samui?Try Krabi."The crystal clear water and limestone and beautiful clear beaches ... for me personally I thought it was Phuket, because Thailand is always Phuket, Phuket, Phuket," says Edwardo Iswandl, a relatively recent inductee to Krabi's charms."But when we came here, they are all Krabi in fact. They are in the Krabi province."Located about 800 kilometres south of the Thai capital of Bangkok, Krabi is probably best described as a younger version of Phuket.It's Phuket 10 years ago - less commercial than its more well-known big brother.It's a good way to be, particularly in these days of heightened environmental awareness, according to Sofitel Phokeethra Krabi Resort & Spa general manager Ove Sandstrom."I mean Krabi is now, it's fresh, this is really Thailand like it was in Phuket 10 to 15 years ago."I think they can keep it like this. Today you know you have global warming, people are becoming more and more conscious about the environment."So now the nature is the biggest attraction. If you want the nightlife, OK you go to Bangkok."The local government, Sandstrom and Iswandl say, is keen to keep it that way."It's not exploited, because the local government had made it stricter than anywhere else," Sandstrom says. "It's the only region in Thailand where you're not allowed to exploit the beach."Source:http://www.theage.com.au/news/thailand/forget-phuket/2007/11/29/1196037034302.

    Phuket is experiencing a buzzing low season with hotel occupancy rates up 20%-30% from last year. The term ´low season´ may no longer be applicable based on visitor arrivals in the past several months. "During a recent site inspection with a group of Middle Eastern investors, it was impossible for them to extend their trip due to lack of hotel availability. Quality hotels such as Trisara and Twin Palms were fully booked during a time that is traditionally the low season," according to Mr. David Simister, Chairman, CB Richard Ellis Thailand.

    Along with the booming tourism industry, Phuket's real estate market continues to draw substantial interest from foreign investors. However, evidence from the number of business registrations and land office show that actual number of transactions in the market has dropped due to the current political situation in Thailand. This is not reflective of demand for high-end villas and condominiums. CB Richard Ellis has seen a greater number of well qualified buyers and enquiries in 2007, but buyers are proceeding to purchase with greater caution.
