So far I’ve only been once to Thailand and it was to the island of Phuket and if you get a fabulous hotel like we did, I can highly recommend it. The hotel is important because we cannot expect the beach to be as lovely as Boracay.
PHUKET
First things first: The correct pronunciation is phoo-khet, not foo-ket. We were able to get a fantastic deal on a luxury resort & we really enjoyed the amenities, spa & food. When we pay a lot for a hotel, we tend to stay in and enjoy. We only had one day where we did a little tour.
