Phuket Reports

Thanks again!

Philo don't let it get you down man. You are in PARADISE! A little bit of personal descretion is the key.

I'm off too Patong just in time for the 2:00 am free for all.

Actually it's not free but 500 baht goes a long way!!!!!!

You deserve it.

And same same to you joe_zop.

All,

Will be in Phuket in July... Thanks to all that have posted. Quick question... Looking for comments on these three places:

1. Phuket Cabana
2. Patong Villa
3. Club Bamboo

Girl Friendly? Proximity? Other??

Thanks!

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I'm going to be in Phuket for a few months starting in August. Can anybody advise on good quality health clubs or gyms in Phuket, and prices?

Man- at 2am they call it "Soi ha roy baht" (500 baht street) according to some <enjoy>

Depends on where you are going to stay. Patong has a nice gym near the Paradise complex ( between Paradise and Soi Nam Yen). You pay about 1500 baht for one month. There is another one if you go into the second soi on your right from the famous 7-11 on Rat U Thit. I think that. I think that Dinghy referred to this part of Rat u Thit as Soi Ha Roy Baht.

And then there is ofcourse the famous place for workout Christine's! Don't forget to visit them.

I never stayed at Phuket Cabana or Patong Villa. Went to Phuket Cabana for dinner, nice fancy restaurant, but I am not sure if I like the hotel. I stayed at Club Bamboo 2 times. One time in a bungalow and one time the penthouse suite. Very nice place, girl friendly, but you need to rent a motorbike as they are about 10 min walking away from the center of the action.

Buzzz - thanks. Ended up booking patong villa. They were awesome on the phone, rooms look good on the web, mentioned as nice on boards, also rated well by some sites. Called and spoke with the manager - he is giving me their "sweet suite" for 2k b/night including svc and tax, also breakfast. Like I'll be awake ;)

Also - read posts and reviews on the restaurant at the cabana - will definately check it out. The Villa seems to be central to both sand and fun.... Should be a blast.

Any other recommendations for food, daytime or fun?

Glad to see you are back (along with the rats :D)

What was that 'Welcome back to Phuket' about?

By the way - I'll leave for LOS jun10 and stay for a month. Can you give me an on spot course in no-john, will-not-be-farang-waterbuffalo and lack-of-soft-heart fucking and tipping?

Philo,

The welcome back was ages ago and I put it there because you said you were going to Phuket. Or was that a lie:(?

I'll drop into the HolyLand on June 28, planning to stay all summer:). I don't think I have your email yet...

BTW Have nice flight.

Freeler...

Read posts below for my last Phuket experience (I have deleted the most pathetic one)

I just found it strange that you posted when I was in Patong, like you knew or had seen or something (other paranoid stuff) ....

I'll stay till jul6 (because of job). If I have the courage, I'll buy you a Singha in the park in Khorat ...

Philo,

I was separated from my passport, most of my money and my creditcard once.
When I got my new passport (our embassy has a counter for its own nationals:)) I went to the immigration office where the immigration officer kept on asking 'How can I help you?'
I knew that 'By giving me the FUCKING clearance ASSHOLE' wasn't the right answer, so I opted for 'I have no money left at all, my CC is useless and I don't know how you can help me' - which of course means: I'm not going to pay bribes to you, you filthy Jakarta PIG!'
As soon as he realized that he was getting none from me, I got the papers and stamps and I was out the door within the hour.

WTH, this was the ONLY real mishap in half a lifetime of travel for me. But it still sucked:(!

'because of job', didn't you say Bye, Bye to your job???

I have given my letter of resignation. And even if I sometimes (always?) do not seem to be fit for it - I will move down there.

But I have obligations towards my masters degree students till dec03.

See you in the park....

04-28-03 20.13 Thai Women.... will tell you why I cannot relocate earlier.

I am a sucker but not a liar (2 times?)

Hi All,

Am thinking of going to Phuket for a holiday and want to know whether you can bring the girl's back to the hotel or not. Which hotel's are 'girl friendly'? Do you have to pay a fine?
