Funway Thailand 2008

Welcome to Phuket, the pearl of the Andaman Sea. Set like a treasured gem in warm azure waters at the eastern fringe of the Indian Ocean and less than ninety minutes flight from Bangkok. Phuket is an island of contrasts and delightful diversity. The hottest of sophisticated hotels mingle with buzzing beach resorts in the heat of the action. Choose from quaint coves, deserted bays, coral beaches or sandy strips that stretch for mile upon mile. Around every corner of Phuket’s picturesque coastline there’s another option, another vista and another style or choice of holiday. Patong is the island’s playground with shops, market stalls, restaurants, bars and nightlife just waiting for the most committed shopper or party animal. Phuket Town is well worth a visit for her Chinese heritage, Taoist temples and shopping opportunities. All the facilities yet less of the hubbub are on hand in the quieter resorts of Bang Tao Bay to the north and Karon and Panwa Bays to the south. Must do’s in Phuket are incomparable Thai seafood restaurants and chilled out daytrips to the amazing limestone islands of Phang Nga Bay and the idyllic Phi Phi Islands. Thai life by the waters edge doesn’t get much better than this. including flights, 8 nights hotel, transfers all airport taxes & fuel surcharges holidays from £725 N.B.
