Friday, December 19, 2008 Phuket sunset

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!!

Tuesday, December 16, 2008 great savings on Phuket

It's all gone quiet or has it. 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 has been that families are cancelling 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 and so expect some great deals coming out of this 4 star resort soon...!!

Monday, December 8, 2008 Phuket and patong weather

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 brill 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 wether 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.

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 Phuket weather forecast by the Thai Meteorological Department

The Thai Meteorological Department has a weather summary and forecast for Phuket, which is well worth a look as it might take local weather into better consideration than the worldwide weather forecast sites like here.

The page has not only a daily forecast, but also a 7-day forecast and a weekly summary. The monthly forecast has to be seen with a grain of salt, but might nevertheless be helpful to those who plan their Phuket holiday right now.

Thursday, July 17, 2008 Asaha Bucha in Phuket today

Today, Buddhists in Phuket and all over Thailand celebrate Asaha Bucha, one of the most important events in Bhuddism. I normally celebrate this day by going with friends and family to Wat Chalong, where there is a candle walk around the temple.
A note for tourists and bar-flies: today alcohol sales are forbidden and bars will be closed (as will be the case tomorrow, when Buddhist lent is celebrated).

The Buddhist Holy Day of Asaha Bucha (Thai: อาสาฬหบูชา) falls on the 15th night or 15 kham of the full moon during the eighth month of the Buddhist Lunar calendar, Asaha (Thai Pali: อาสาฬห) being the name of the eighth month in the Pali language. Last year, this was July 29, this year it is today.

Asaha Bucha is worshiped because of three important events occurring on the day called the "Triple Gem":

Firstly, it is commemorating the first sermon given by the Buddha called the "Dhammachakapavattama Sutta" concerning the "Four Noble Truths" presented to the Buddha’s first five disciples. The sermon set in motion the "Wheel of Dhamma", which is the meaning of "Dhammachaka".
Secondly, the day is considered to be the birth of Buddhism as the Buddha departed the location where he obtained his enlightenment two months earlier and then coming to a forest area in the city of Pharansi where he showed favor to five ascetics who became his followers.
Also recognized on the same day is the first person listening to the Buddha’s sermon realizing the truths contained therein and becoming the first Buddhist monk creating the Buddhist order “Sangha” and is known as “Sangha Day” as well as Asaha Bucha.
