Plan to be in Phuket 1st week of January. Is that a good time to be there? I have heard that most of the girls go home for xmas, do the come back by then?
Also, I am sure the weather is quite warm even in January, but is the water suitable for water sports?
Which is better for relaxing and watersports and women - Phuket or Krabi?
IMHO Krabi is fun but more lacked back than Patong. Plenty of girls and fun to be had. Water sports? I am wondering what you mean. Patong in high season is too crowded for me and I much prefer the low season.
