It’s often claimed that Thai is a difficult language to learn, and there are plenty of people who use this as an excuse to not even try. After more than a decade living here, and organising Phuket boat tours on this beautiful island, we like to claim we can speak Thai. Perhaps not very well, but we can get by. It’s fun to be able to speak to the local people and they always appreciate the effort.
Why not break away from tradition and have a Phuket honeymoon or wedding day on a beautiful tropical island? These days, more and more couples choose to do this due to lower air fares, affordable accomodation and people’s growing sense of adventure.
Walk along the beach at sunset or visit one of the viewpoints and you are sure to see a couple in wedding attire on a photo shoot. Phuket is a very popular destination for stag parties and hen nights, honeymoons and weddings, and for those couples who wish to renew their vows.
There is nothing we love more than taking a break from our busy schedule and getting a massage. In most western countries massage and other kinds of pampering sessions can be expensive. A treat for a birthday or special occasion perhaps but certainly not a weekly event. But in Thailand they are very affordable, so we like to spoil ourselves as often as we can!
Gibbons are very cute creatures, and years ago the white-handed gibbon was a common sight in the forests of Thailand. These days you’d be lucky to see one in the wild. They’re more commonly seen out in Phuket shopping areas, looking terrified as they cling to their ‘owners’, or in other words touts that parade them around the noisy tourist streets.
Well-known for its fabulous beaches and Phuket cruise views, the island has many other different aspects to it. Here, we are going to tell you a little about some of the activities you can do to get healthy.
