Phuket also known as James Bond island to alot .. because .. if you look at the above picture.. these was taken for real with one of the James Bond movies .. in the 80s. I cannot remember which one.. but i’ve seen it before.. when i was a kid.

Phuket is definitely very touristy now, unlike those early days. .when i was there. I flew Thai Airways to Phuket.. and the sun and the beach was the best thing there. Unfortunately, accommodation.. and food is not as cheap .. as we thought it would be. But we were staying in a resort.. so everytime we needed to go out.. we had to hire a driver. There were lots of sea sports.. manned by the locals there.. and like i said.. it was fun.. but definitely not cheap at all. But the people in Phuket were very friendly and you are being approached for massages alot.. and prices ranges between 30 - 40 dollars.

Phuket is known as a diving paradise .. the water is so clear.. you can see just about anything under the sea… and since it is surrounded by beaches.. staying in a good resort is very important. Phuket’s night life at Patong is very famous .. you can party from late in the evening to wee hours in the morning. Yes.. they do have the go-go girls.. dancing skimpily on top of a bar.. and bear are really cheap.. but don’t get hassle into seeing some girlie show.. that might cost you a few hundred bucks.. by the time you get out.
