It took this picture when I was in the hills above Chalong bay on one side and Kata beach on the other. The Highlands of Phuket are magnificent and the jeep tracks that get the farmers to the rubber plantations R a fantastic way to explore some of the most majestic scenery in Phuket.
I was on the road up to see golden Buddha which is the tallest Buddha for miles and miles in any direction, and I saw the sun dropping into the Indian Ocean to the west. I remember being in awe of the moment as it was so perfect and quiet, so complete.
I do get into nature and apologise if this is too soft!!

It's all gone quiet, or has it, at least for the December high season? Some are saying that the beaches down at Kata are only 10% full but that other beaches are still busy.
The effect of the political uncertainty of the recent airport closure in Bangkok has been that families are canceling their trips to Phuket and so beaches and resorts that are reliant on families have been scuppered over night.
I think the
Kata Beach resort is one of these, so expect some great deals coming out of this 4 star resort soon...!

Like an old friend I am back after an average trip back to Europe to get some more mullah.. SUNSHINE.
The weather in Phuket is brillant but is a little quiet. I don't know if this is the usual pre Xmas dip in numbers of tourist before the storm of peak season or weather the Bangkok airport closures has effected bookings... we shall see.
I like the
Thara Patong Beach resort and will be staying there next week. It is at the heart of Patong and if you want to get to know whayt is happening in Phuket, that's the spot.
