Hello to all at Phuket info, I am on my way to Phuket in October for the first time so thought I would join up here on this great forum to find out some useful tips and advise about the Island.

I have been travelling to Thailand in total now for about 6 years and done about 15 trips in that time but always to Pattaya and recently more trips to Bangkok.

The main reason for coming to Phuket in October is that I am bringing 'my parents' as part of a two trip around Thailand as they wanted a special holiday this year as they are celebrating thier 40th wedding aneversary.

They have been keen to check out Thailand for a while and to see why i and my friends keep raving about it.

So mainly at the weekends i'll be signing on and maybe asking what seem to be dumb questions sometimes, but all in just understaning the Island.

We are staying at the Amari Coral Beach at the southern end of Patong Beach, a little pricy i know, but top quality for my parents to enjoy thier relaxing holiday.

I understand its not guest friendly, (for me) but we'll see what happens once i'm there and if it is a no go with the tg's i'll have to make do with some st bars until i get back to Bangkok & Pattaya the week after our stay.

Once again hello to everyone and chuck any advice at me as you feel fit.

Nick.
