Phuket, Thailand

[Cruel Halo]

I'm going in a couple of weeks... Patong Beach area. I plan on going to James Bond Island and a couple other places but mostly chill out and relax.

Anyone been there? Thoughts? Suggestions for must see places.

Have fun.

Place was destroyed 22 years ago, I imagine there is still remaining evidence.

Been a few years. Been trying to get back since. Great beaches. Good times.

I arrived in Kodiak 24 years afer the destruction here, and even with Fed $$ to rebuild the scars were still visible.

Just a bit of history.

Just did some lounging and scuba diving. The nightlife is e everything you heard it was.

Just be direct. You want to know where the best spots are to find the lady boys right?

It can be confusing. Give them all the Croc Dundee test just to be safe.

Been there, twice.

Stick to the Euro-trash and double bag it. Many of the lady boys are undetectable until you hear them talk. Don't want to end up with a handful of franks and beans.

All of the open air shops are fun. Folo, Folex, bartering a good price for stuff is alive and well.

Lots of open air bars where it's all either Muy Thai or more lady boys.

Lots of white sand beaches. Wat Chalong for all the cool Buddhist temples and the Big Buddha statue on Nakkerd Hill. Phi Phi Islands and James Bond Island are also a must. So are the tuk tuk rides. Those dudes are crazy but it's the ride of your life.

1 last thing, don't drink ice, or any non-sealed drinks or fresh fruit, vegetables. Same deal as drinking the water in Mexico and they fertilize their produce in "night soil".
