Hi Guys!

My 1st post. I'm in Phuket on holiday right now with my wife. We've been here three times before since 2002 with various members of our family, staying at JW Marriott or at Laguna, Bang Tao.

Only previous visit was in 1985 with my best mate on a touring holiday from Manila to Delhi via Singapore, KL, Penang, Hat Yai, Phuket and Bangkok -before I was married .

I took a few photos of the Bangla Road area - which was rather different 23 years ago, and I'd like to know how I can best share these photos with other forum members and get some feedback on them too.

The photos are back at home in England and I'll have to scan them first, and would hope to have them ready in early March.

Does anyone else have old photos from the mid-80's?

Is there a website showing the development of Patong/Phuket in pictures over the last 25 years?

Edit: Also, in 1985 we stayed in a hotel along the beach road, just north of Bangla. The hotel had ground floor bedrooms each with a large glass sliding door, and were staggered in such a way that each had a view towards the beach. There may have been a pool too, but I cannot remember, as we used the beach. Is that hotel still there, and if not, can anyone tell me what it was called?

Looking forward to any replies
