Cheap Places to stay in Phuket - Hostels and Guesthouses
From We love Phuket, 4 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Phuket does have that reputation of being very expensive - only resorts and tourist restaurants. This is wildly inaccurate. Phuket has it all - OK, so there's not really a "backpacker" scene here any more, but there is plenty of cheap accommodation, food is as cheap as you like - just go where the locals go, there are local buses and you can rent a motorbike for 150-200 Baht per day. I will try and list some less expensive places to stay below - not a complete listing by any means, but...

Surfing in Phuket
From We love Phuket, 5 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Well, yes there is some surfing in Phuket. The waves in the low season can be big enough, though you can't guarantee it. Plenty of calm days even at this time of year. Let's just say it's nothing like Bali, but if you're a surfer and passing through and have your board with you, why not give it a try'From 8 - 10 September 2006 there was the Phuket Surfing Contest at Kata Beach. I might just go along for a little look next year if the weather allows. Dates are August 31st - September 2nd...

September ... will it be a wet one'
From Phuket weather blog, 1 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
August is done and dusted. And overall it was a dry month. Someone just left a comment on the last blog post saying they were in Phuket from 17th - 27th and it only rained twice during the day. According to my rainfall measurements, August had 12 completely dry days and another 8 days with only 1 or 2mm of rain. Total rainfall 165mm, of which half fell on just 2 days (46mm on the 13th and 38mm on the 23rd). The average for August is 317mm. So this year it's quite likely that holidaymakers in...

From Phuket weather blog, 1 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
We are having an odd low season so far, just that 5 or 6 days of wet weather at the start of the month, but last week was sunny most of the time, a bit in the night on Wednesday, but on the whole a very nice week to be in Phuket, good diving weather ( just spoke to a friend who was on the Phi Phi Overnight trip on Friday and Saturday, said it was great).. but they were lucky - now it's raining again. Sunday we had some morning rain, and today (Monday) it has been raining more or less all day....

From Life in Phuket Blog, 1 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
The Ton Sai Waterfall is located in the beautiful Khao Phra Thaew National Park which is a short drive from the main centre of Phuket. The area around the Ton Sai Waterfall is an exceptionally pleasant place for a stroll and an afternoon picnic on a hot day. There is an entrance fee into the national park of 100 baht per person (for foreigners), and 20 baht per person for Thais.
There are plenty of delicious food stalls as you enter the national park, so it's a great idea to purchase some...

A dead leatherback turtle was discovered floating in the Andaman Sea off the west coast of Phuket last Thursday. The body of the massive creature was still snarled up in the trawler net that had killed it.

The Scenic Route from Sydney: Royal National Park and Grand Pacific Drive
From Australia Blog, 1 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Tourists and locals make the trek from Sydney to Melbourne quite often (and vice versa), but the distance typically calls for a cheap flight to Melbourne instead of driving. Driving to Melbourne, however, if you have the time and vehicle, is a very scenic experience, especially when taking advantage of the Royal National Park and the Grand Pacific Drive.

The Royal National Park
The Royal National Park lies just south of Sydney, and instead of taking the main highway around it,...
