The Place: Down south to the beaches! Phuket is a mix. On the one hand the beaches are great, and on the other hand its a real city club vibe. In Phuket we stayed on Patong Beach which is really commercial. It's lined with deck chairs (not a space in between) and there's loads of parasailing, jetskiing etc..
Cool features: We made good use again of rent-a-motorbike! Yeah! So much fun, we took a scooter to the other beaches of Phuket(much less commercial)starting with our frisbee fruit breakfast (cashews, fruit, and yoghurt mixed together on a frisbee) on Karon beach, had a swim on the amazing Kata beach, lunch at Kata Noi (incl. famous banana pancakes), then trip to view point (where you can see the beaches on our trip), body surfing at Nai Harn beach, sundowners at small view point, then back to Patong beach.
One highlight was in the evening we were scooting to Karon beach at 1:45am looking for a place to watch world cup when we got caught in a shower. We were soaked to the bone but managed to dry off enough with the wind from the drive before sitting down to watch the game.
Strange observation: I was shocked to see the amount of middle aged men with young thai women, and walking the city its just show girl/strip & pick-up joints. We found some cool places to go out though, played some pool, watched some live bands and caught some footy (at 2am over here - saw France beat Portugal).
