Hi Lofty,
i was in Patong for 10 nights, I arrived back home 5 days ago...
Only the very top of Bangla road is still being repaired, along with some hotels on the beach front.
The rest of Patong is fine, all the Soi's are back in business, and there are plenty of girls available. Never did I see the men out number the girls...No way....
Have a great trip...!

Good to hear all the positive reports coming out of Phuket, just booked 10 days there for May so should be well up and running by then, even though it’s low season.

you're becoming an Addict Addy......
i remember our conversations where you were preparing for your first visit........
i hope by now you are a seasoned visitor?.....
Daffy Duck said.....
"Personally, I was never interested in Phuket, and don't really have any motivation to *want* to go, mostly because I have come to understand that it's a haven for Euro-Tourists -- and frankly, I'm in no mood to hang out in the vicinity of Euro-Tours on my vacations"
i have never experienced this.
i always went in Low Season and maybe that was the reason.
i have never seen groups of Europeans on a tour.
have seen many Japanese Groups but they tend to be couples and families and have no bearing on the taking of Girls.
i just hated being in Patong while Cobra Gold happened.....

Hi Nokna,
good to hear from you..
Yes, I am a happily self confessed addict of Phuket, and of course Thailand...this was my 3rd visit, and already, I want to plan my 4th...maybe later this year...
During my recent stay, there are a few Europeans, and also a few Americans too...but mostly a lot of couples...for whom I felt a little sorry for the guys as they always seemed to be eyeing up the Thai girls, or looking over in the restaurants seeing me with a big smile spread across my face...
I think Daffy should give it a go, he's got nothing to lose...except a few barfines...!
Nokna - any plans to go back....?

yes there are always couples,after all Phuket and the surrounding area is also a holiday destination.
Phuket is not just a place for single Men looking for company for the Night.
a good friend of mine visits Phuket twice a Year with his Wife as they love the Diving.
they of course do not partake in the Barfining of Girls but have great fun going out at Night and watching all that goes on.
as I said I have NEVER seen organised tours of European Euro-Tourists,but that is not to say they don't exist.
as I have said before I have no plans to visit for a long while,happily settled with my Filipino GF and no way will she let me go back on my own.
she knows what I got up to in the past and knows she could not trust me on my own......

Today's bangkok Post
Forget marketing Phuket for a while
So the chairman of Orient Thai Airlines is frustrated because all attempts to lure tourists back to Phuket are unsuccessful and he wants the government to subsidise airlines flying to the island.
Perhaps a lack of credibility among Thai government officials is partly to blame. We all remember the government saying there was no Sars in Thailand, no bird flu in Thailand and no terrorists in Thailand. Why should tourists now believe Tourist Authority of Thailand pronouncements that Phuket is back to normal?
As of three days ago (March 8), when I drove the entire length of Beach road in Patong, the area still looked like a war zone. Even an official stated last week that tour agents were reluctant to recommend Phuket as a destination since Patong looked like "one large construction site".
Is it really in Phuket's interest to lure tourists here and then have them find out that much of the most visited area on the island is still in a shambles? I think not.
Instead, the millions of baht being spent on what amounts to false advertising should be used to expeditiously rebuild the damaged areas of the island.

Unfortunately this is true. Patong is still very much 2-faced. Beachfront is still not what is was... Do not forget that daylife (yes in day time) did concentrate along beach road and the beach. Take this away and there is only nite life. For us that might be enough but most tourists on Phuket are either families and tourgroups. (Yes, tourgroups were the majority, in numbers, of tourists, mainly from Japan, Korea etc...) Those tourists come mostly to see the beach and a beautiful backdrop. No, or limited, sun lounchers and boarded up shops, hotels etc is not what they are looking for.
The government was quick with removing the rubble. Why now so slow with giving aid to the people in need so that economic activity can return? Budgets to bring Patong and kamala back to a better state have already been halved.
Was enough political gain reached by just proposing this?

Hi guys,
has anoyone visited Kata Beach recently ? Am due to stay there for a few nights as part of LOS trip. Reading the net from the UK, and various Phuket web sites gives the impression that everything is moreorless back to normal. Sadly Edge's and Manuel bkk's comments have worried me now. All I want to do is chill on Kata Becah, perhaps Laem Sing in the day time, and visit the bars at the night time. I have persuaded a newbie to come with me and have assured him that everything is ok. Any comments most welcome.
