After 24 hours of travel from Bangkok to Phuket we arrived exausted, dirty and ready to sit on the beach. In 2004 Phuket was destroyed along with a bunch of the other islands by a tsunami. From what I can tell they have rebuilt with the most amount of massage, suit and t-shirt stores I have ever seen. You can't walk more than 2 stores without being accosted by 8-15 thai girls (and the occasional Ladyboy) asking you if you want "Thai Maaaaasage".
The shopping down here was great, if I had any extra money I'd be brining back home tons and tons of clothes, electronics, and a little of everything else. Come to think of it, Thailand would be a great place for kids and their parents to do the annual back to school shopping. Everything is 50-70 percent cheaper here and it's all the same crap so why not just fly over to Thailand instead of going to Target. The beaches are much better here and parking isn't an issue.
Headed to Ko Phi Phi tomorrow.
