We arrived in Phuket very late and in the pouring rain so we picked a hotel close(ish) to the airport at Naithon Beach. It was a nice hotel and the following morning we went to the beach which was also very quiet and pretty. We soon realised that it was a bit of a ghost town though so decided to quickly checkout and move further down the island to Karon Beach. We also quickly realised that Phuket is pretty expensive in comparison to Bangkok and Chiang Mai and that it's a hotspot for holiday makers, thai bride seekers and not backpackers.
Still, we found a nice hotel in the centre of Karon Beach with a pool and there were lots of bars, restaurants and a nice beach. One night our hotel had an Elvis night with a Thai Elvis impersonater...he wasn't TOO bad. Another night we found another market with lots of food. We bought some donuts and some more real designer goods.
After a couple of days we booked our boat to Koh Phi Phi and we were picked up by the crazyiest driver ever and dropped off at the port to get the boat. xxx
