Phuket. Devastated by a tsunami – we all saw the vivid images – Phuket, an island off the mainland of Thailand, has for some years been a tourist destination, mostly because of its numerous sunny beaches.
Now rebuilt and back in full operation, Phuket is, well, forgettable. In fact, worse than that – a pretty nasty place. We thought so as we strolled the streets of Patong, and Amy and her brother Scott discovered that first impressions last in Phuket as they went off for a recon in a local taxi. Herewith, a few images, and very little commentary. Not so much.
The main drag in Patong.
A side street.
The infrastructure – chaos as in all things.
And finally, the highlight of Phuket. A fish pedicure on a Patong side street.
On, thankfully, to Cochin.
