[DiGdUb's Bro]

Of course, yes. At least their beaches are still much more nicer and better than our stupid sentosa and east coast.

[John_Chee]

You all not scared the tsunami come again ar

[DiGdUb's Bro]

When you go out you are not scared to be hit by car ar?

[John_Chee]

Oops... so if everyone thinks like this then no one will be out on the streets by now! I think people will still go but will be more careful like they will check the tides and waters to see if a disaster is coming

[ericoo]

then should we organise a Phuket trip? VRZone outing?

[DiGdUb]

i heard the sea at phuket is now muich clearer cos the tsunami 'flushed' everything from the shoreline, so the place is now more beautiful.

[international]

yes if the conditions are just as the same as before..........

[chazrt]

yeah,, I had a few friends go up to phuket since the tsunami. Said its all cleaner and stuff are cheaper due to less tourists. So go now b4 things pick up again. Thinking of going soon :P

Beautiful Resort...I will staying at Patong Beach Resort (was offered a rates that is too hard to resist).

At 1st was thinking between Katathani, Thani Resort & Spa their Jr Suite or Evason Resort but since I got a very good offer at Patong Beach...so decided to save the money up for more shopping & Spa:D

hangyong - able to update things abt Phuket or things I should visit/buy/try/eat? coz last visit was abt 10 years ago.

well, very importantly, you need to rent a car. Phuket abit too big for taking a cab/tuk tuk...

Laem Prompthep is a nice place to see sunset, but there are quite alot of people.

Then there is also the 3 beach view point, very close to Kata beach.

I din do much shopping or eating out there, as my wife and I cooked in the room and spent most of our time in the spa, and going to scenic spots to take pictures.

They now have a very big shopping mall, near to big C... called Festival Market. Can go there take a look lah, but since I not shopping person, din spend much time there.

Patong filled with ang moh, and most restaurants there are out to chop them. Nevertheless, food is still much cheaper than eating in Singapore, even at those joints chopping ang mohs.

Can forget going to the nature reserves or waterfalls. Waste of time and money.

Ok...points and advise noted. How are the charges like on renting a car? Is it driver friendly area?

driving there not an issue, and they allow Singapore license. No need International.

I paid about 2800Bht (approx 113SGD) for 48hours, all insurance inclusive, on a Toyota VIOS.

you can get cheaper rate if you rent from shops near to the airport. probably about 2400Bht for the same deal.
