Great Drew as money go directly to the people! Most of the people want to do good, but the money often come into the wrong hands!
It was difficult to book a trip for my family for this x-mas season, so I hope things will go back to normal slowly. Don't forget it is "low season" now and that there are more destinations to choose from to spend your holliday, in summer!
When I was in Phuket in March, there was more people in Kata then in november before the tsunami! Patong was a little bit slower, less frantic. I am very confident, that things will go back to normal, just give it a bit of time.
Phuket has one big advantage over other destination. It is the kind of place, ones it stole your heart, uou want to get back to!
