Phuket Reports

[QUOTE=Hah Baht;1184865]I think the name is Summer Breeze not Sea Breeze.[/QUOTE]Correct. It was my mistake. After three weeks in Thailand my brain was scrambled. In a good way though.

[QUOTE=Rio Fan; 1185406]Sorry, but I couldn't find the answer to this in the forum. I just wanted to confirm that a Joiners fee is a nightly fee, not a one time fee. In other words, in a non-girl-friendly hotel you may be able to bring a girl to your room if you pay a joiner fee (in addition to your regular nightly rate) each night that you bring the girl back to the room?

Thanks![/QUOTE]Yes, each night. Just find someplace that doesn't have it.

I was planning to go to Phuket next month in September for two weeks. I was thinking I should avoid high season which starts in November (too many punters, not enough attractive ladies). Then I checked the precipitation graph in the Lonely Planet guide. According to the graph, it rains significantly more in September and October than at any other time of the year. The idea of being holed up all day in the hotel doesn't thrill me. But how much does it really rain in September. Is it one big shower in the late afternoon like here in the southern USA where I live? Or is it day after day of pooring rain?

So maybe I'll hold off and go the first two weeks of November. All of my "trips" to Brazil were during low season, but maybe I'm selling myself short by not experiencing a high season somewhere.

Any comments and opinions on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks![/QUOTE]In Sept. And Oct, it can rain very hard for long periods. Much more so than any other time of year. One of the other issues are the monsoon winds.

If you go in early Nov. I think you will be better off. But, noone can predict the weather.

Why do you think there are not enough attractive ladies in Nov? I have been there during all seasons and never seen a shortage.

Hi guys,

Cheers[/QUOTE]From my experience, those 4 and 5 stars ar NOT GF anyway.

Here are a few that are:

Karon Cocktail Inn.

Kata Villa (south end of Karon)

Hotel Little Mermaid.

Phuket Island View.

Armani Sky Beach.

Green Island Guest House.

Kangaroo Guesthouse.

Just for info, a few of these places are not that great. Check reviews, etc. Before booking. Also, because policies can change, make sure you email them prior to confirm GF.

Thanks![/QUOTE]Correct. They charge a fee every night.

[QUOTE=Evianist; 1157063]Catherine's website says the price is 2000. Why did you pay 3000? Was it a taxi commission charge?

And I don't understand, the girl wanted a 2000 baht tip?[/QUOTE]The 2000 tip was offered to me for Bareback.

One think got me thinking though was this business with freebies! TGs (who work in P4P business or freelancers who do occasional P4P) in LOS live on what they get form mongers (their work places pay them shit) , but they are sometime just too shy to ask in the morning, or maybe counting on getting it later on the next night (s) /day (s) , playing the long game. But please do give them some money, to me it is no conquest doing a TG who works in P4P for nothing. If they don't ask, don't be surprised, just put some money in their purse discretely, or give it as (large) taxi fare or something[/QUOTE]I agree, do not be mean, give them a reasonable amount. For sure same girl will have nothing to do with you next time.

[url]http://www.wgfriendly.com/search_girl_friendly_hotels.php?country=Thailand&city=Phuket[/url][/QUOTE]C&N Hotel should fit the requirement.

I'm heading to Phuket the first two weeks in November. On Expedia the cost is about $1, 600. I found that my cost to Bangkok would be only $1, 200. So I was wondering if I could fly to Bangkok and then get a ticket much cheaper (than $400) to complete my trip to Phuket? Also, is it possible to get a ticket from Bangkok to other cities in Thailand with relatively short notice?

Thanks for the help!
