Phuket is more famous in asia then any other beach and you have to be an English to appreciate it the most (SUN TAN SEX AND BEERS). Why because being an asian like me its not so easy to appreciate the TAN because of the SUN (thank god pigments prevent those frickels on our skin) and secondly because we don't have that economcial advantage to spend on those thai escorts(read hookers).
But still despite of my Indian upbringing phuket is a place which is a must visit. The Thai Bhat is almost valued the same as the India currency (so almost the same spending power for frns who want an economic comparison) though we don't have the advantage that EURO or other currencies njoy
The VISA On arrival is a big plus for people like us who don't know where they are heading for and when. Sometimes I really wonder why do we need VISA and passport to move around. But "FENCES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBOURS" so there are too many people buying the idea and this has shaped the world where we live today.
So whats the must do in Thailand?
Get a MASSAGE - foot massage and full body thai massage are both recommended. The massage is a must have for any one but some how thai massages have become so much associated with the follow up sex ritual that there is a weak link between the to. But luckily for me it was a good masseur who knew the difference between the two.
Another see is the place where Vegas got its idea of a babe making love to a POLE. The place is called a GO GO bar but its too difficult for me to appreciate. But must see becuase unless you taste the wine its too bookish or isn't it?
TUK TUK is another word which anyone cannot stop hearing. Literally it means TAXI and there are more TUK TUK's on road sometimes you think then the poeple in off season.
What's must do if you just want to have a good time in Phuket?
a) Book into a good hotel with breakfast room service
b) Prefer a room which has a sea facing balcony so that u can catch the most part of the sunset on the beach and the follow up from ur balcony sipping ur fav drink ( Awesome display of color unfolds into the andaman sea every day and the sunset will make any one's heart skip a beat)
c) Pamper your self with massages
d) Hang out in any of the numerous pubs..see how the world changes by the night
e) Stay away from all the good looking gals who are blowing kisses or holding ur hand..coz most of them are MEN or thats what earns then easy money
f) Eat ur heart out---TOM YUM soup/ Anything served with Thai Sauce /Chicken Satay and in case you like seafood..thailand is heaven
g) Go for any of those boat rides..which are like full or half day into the sea and watch the beauty of those limestone rocks and mountains in the emerald sea. Unless someone goes out no pictures can capture the feeling
h)Ride a rented bike in the town...@200 bhats per day a must do
And don't forget to return people the NAMASTE. Thai people are so warm that you will always want to visit them again. Thats for sure.
