Phuket is a an Island. A large Island. Patong is like a C shaped Harbor. It's about an hour from the Airport. And the view is beautiful. Along the road from the Airport much of the streets look like this. Full of life and color.
This is in front of my hotel. A parking lot in front during most of the day turns into many restaurants later on. Full of people with friends , families, companions and staff hurrying about to make it all work.
Andaman Beach Suites Hotel a nice hotel with Sea view rooms. Views overlooking a Temple and Major Soccer field or Football as it's known outside the US. A 7 night package can be picked up for about 925 US, includes some additional amenities. Not promoting just numbers if you search you can find it for as low as about 45 US night with breakfast.
I'm not the kind of person into being pampered. However since I'm here want to show what is out there for those who do. I like the hotel the picture above is part of my beautiful view from my room. $11.80 US I walk to the beach and food in Thailand all over is very reasonable. It also offers some catering to some very expensive tastes.
Met with some people here make it part of their lives work towards ending human trafficking and slavery. Unfortunately this is one of those places that groups use for that purpose. My goal here is to highlight some of the positive places about Patong and near by. I leave you with a picture of a couple of friendly bike taxi drivers.
