My first time in Phuket and Thailand was for 10 days in October 2004. It was just the best time ever. At first when we landed, it was a bit of a culture shock. Outside the airport there was loads of taxis waiting to take people to hotels etc, and it was just quite hectic.
The drive to the hotel was a strange one. It wasn't like anything I had imagined. Every 50 metres or so, I seemed to see an old coca-cola sign and people selling cold drinks. For some reason I remember that vividly. They were everywhere.
Then, when we were driving down Patong beach road, it just looked great. All the markets, and all the peoples, the tuk-tuks.
We stayed at the amari coral beach resort (which is sadly closed until August) and it was a beautiful hotel. The staff were great.
And then the nightlife! Wow - I'll never experience anything like it again, unless I go back to Phuket. Bangla Road is my favourite nightlife spot ever. Bar after bar full of sexy chicks and everyone is up for a great time. The beer is cheap and your guarenteed a taxi home!!!
I think I'll get my photos sorted out and post a few on here!
