Summertime and the living is far from easy
WHEN GEORGE GERSHWING wrote "Summertime" for the opera porgy and bess, he clearly had laid-balmy days in mind. Back then they hadn't heard of skin cancer, heatstroke, and all the other nasties that come without protection from "That lucky old sun," tha "ain't got mothing to do, but to roll around heaven all day." I love the Ray Charles Version!
Today, we are Better informed and more health coscious. Are we really?
A common sight ind thailand today is that of a scantily-clad young lady passing a street sweeper who is dressed like a bee-keeper: wide-brimmed straw hat,facemask, coverall and baggy pants. Does this lady know something the trourstdoes not? Put your shirt on it!
Ask yourself this : "Why is the sun care business a multi-billion dollar earner?
For decades this industry encouraged you to "Look like a Hollywood star--Bet atan." Don't tell me that their industrial chemists, medical advisers, call them what you will, failed to warm them of the dangers of ultraviolet rays to the human bady! That would be like the Marlboro man telling you not to smoke!
No, these companies just eased on in there with their factor fifty protection products when the medical evidence wes made public. Australian's are,in my humble opinion, the people who were first to recognize the dangers of what used to be called, "a healthy tan."
***As far back as the eighties, Australian childern could be seen wearing the world renowned Akubra hets while travelling to and from school. "No hat today, mate? Then home you go!"
I'm not trying to spoil your holiday in the Land of smiles; merely making sure that you don't leave here with anything other than wonderful souvenirs and happy memories.
The fromer United States President, Harry S. Truman, coined the phrase - "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kichen." A more profound observation tha he realized.
British super-medel, Naomi Campbell, is quoted as saying: "i never wear underwear in tropical conditions." Thand you, Naomi. You have just made a happy man very old!
What fallows is a list of what my old drill instructor in the Parachute regiment fondly alluded to as, "Dog Common sense."

Krabi is the country’s oldest history
Ao Nang has the cleanest of environments in the area. This is the most developed beach in the area. And the beach is accessible by road from Krabi. Less crowded and more quiet, it gives a more peaceful atmosphere to the tourist than the Krabi. The majestic looking limestone cliffs rising straight from calm, clear waters of the sea and the long beach line that runs the whole length of the resort are great attractions claimed exclusively by Ao Nang. The shallow coast line is very safe for children to play with the waves. With widest range of accommodation facilities , transports either by boat or road, excellent facilities for tasty foods, tourists often make this area a base camp to make their foray further deep to discover the caves or for trekking and rock climbing.

The major beaches from north to south are:
Mai khao (Sai Kaeo) - near the airport, very quiet (aside from the planes!) and far away from it all
Nai Thon and Nai Yang - two quiet beaches in Sirinat National Park
Bang Thao (Laguna Beach) - long, very quiet beach
Surin and Pansea Beach - an up-and-coming upmarket destination
Laem Sing - small bay with stunning views, between Kamala Beach and Surin Beach
Kamala Beach - a quieter beach to the north of Patong
Kalim Beach - a series of small beaches just to the north of Patong
Patong Beach - the largest beach resort, known for its nightlife
Karon and Karon Noi Beaches - the second most-developed beach after Patong
Kata Yai Beach - busy, clean tourist beach with good surf
Nai Han and Ao Sen - a quiet beach (probably the best) in the south, near Phromthep Cape view point
Ya Nui Beach Rawai,Mittraphap and Laem Ka - set off point for lots of local islands, popular with locals for eating on the beach
Cape Panwa - home to Phuket Aquarium
Phuket Simon Cabaret This hugely popular tourist attraction, on the hill just outside Patong, has been wowing audiences for years with its exotic, hilarious, often risqué, transvestite cabaret.
The show features a spectacular musical floor show performed by the famous "ladyboys" of Simon Cabaret. See for yourself. Can you tell the difference?
Stunning costumes, bright lights, an excellent sound system and expensive sets are all part of this theatrical extravaganza. An experience not to be missed.
Phuket Restaurant Guide It doesn't matter how many options there are, if you don't know about them, what's the point? If you've no way to compare them, how can you decide?
Yet dining out – whether for a special occasion at a restaurant brimming with atmosphere, or for a casual lunch, local Thai-style – is probably the most important, and potentially one of the most memorable, elements of your visit to Phuket.
Without real information, too many visitors take pot-luck, or go with the tuk-tuk driver's commission-based recommendation. Many stay with one or two familiar places, having had one disappointment too many – and no time to waste.
Most miss out on the fabulous array of dining opportunities Phuket offers.
And that's where Where to Eat comes in: Consistent, reliable up-to-date information that puts the choice where it belongs – with you, the guest.

Phuket Culture
Phuket(Thailand) culture is one of the most colorful and interesting in the world, and has in large part been shaped by the countries dominant religion. Around 95% of Thailand’s population is Buddhist, and evidence of this can be seen absolutely everywhere.There are many signs of Buddhism threaded into every day life in Phuket, and temples are the most obvious. Wat Chalong (the largest temple on the island) is a great place to witness first hand the uniqueness and beauty of this eastern religion. Orange robed monks are frequently seen walking the streets, and statues of the Buddha can be found absolutely everywhere.
An interesting characteristic of Thailand , when compared to many other southeastern countries, is the fact that women are actively involved in business affairs and the arts.Thai is the country’s official language, with Lao, Chinese, Malay, and Mon-Khmer also spoken. English is taught in secondary schools and is also used in government and commerce. In most tourist areas, communicating in English is not a problem.Known as the land of 1000 smiles, the Thai people are some of the friendliest in the world. At times, a simple smile is all it takes to break down a language barrier.Thais are very respectful of the King and as a tourist you should be aware the any offences against the King could be punishable. Also everyone is expected to stand when the national anthem is played.
