Phuket Weather in June 2008-06-04 11:51:00 Phuket, well-known holiday paradise in Southern Thailand, is currently just that: a tropical paradise where every single day in the past week has been sunny and warm -- and that even though it is supposedly the rainy season (or Green Season in travel marketing speak :-)There have been a few drops of rain here and there...

Rainy June days in Patong Beach 2008-06-10 08:30:00 Of course, the stretch of good weather days around the beginning of this June could not hold on forever here on Phuket Island; it is still Green Season and the monsoon is bound to send it's rainy clouds over this part of the tropics.Yesterday night, we had a strong storm shaking everything up and the heavy rain even caused flooding in some parts of Patong (as it does every year, as nobody seems to Read more:Beach
Barbecue on Tri Trang Beach 2008-06-08 08:24:00 Friends of mine had a little barbecue and a few quiet beers on Tri TrangBeach
. This is a little known stretch of sand right over the mountain on the south end of Patong Beach, offering a great panoramic view of Patong.The sky was overcast, just the right weather for a BBQ; maybe not so good for swimming, but Tri Trang Beach does not invite for this activity anyway, as a coral reef and rocks are l Read more:Barbecue
Phuket maps and Google Earth maps 2008-06-08 07:54:00 Google Earth
and Google Maps are great tools to explore locations of interest on Phuket Island and plan your holidays to Thailand.Is this bungalow REALLY on the beachfront? How far is the airport or the ferry port to Phi Phi REALLY away? Will it be possible to reach the famous nightlife of Soi Bangla in Patong without difficulty?All those questions can be answered by simply looking at the Phuket O Read more:Google

Patong Beach in the June sun 2008-06-03 08:15:00 After work, I took a little stroll along Patong Beach
, again the best weather for this time of year. Large parts of the sky were blue, some clouds and a little wind, which made the late afternoon sun very agreeable: not too hot, but one could still feel the tropical burn on the skin.As most of the beach chairs were already stowed away and also the jetski operators had vacated the beach, it was a g

Respite from stormy June weather on Phuket 2008-06-12 22:14:00 Finally it looks like we will get a respite form the stormyweather
here on Phuket which held the island and its beaches in its grip. Around midday we had a few specks of blue sky here in Phuket Town.Later while walking along Patong Beach, a light drizzle disappointed a little bit, and the grey unfriendly sky did not seem to be too promising; but I would guess that the latest storm front has passe
Cloudy days and rain in Phuket 2008-06-24 04:17:00 Already for the last two days, Phuket is experiencing clouds and rain.

Flood-risk areas include Thepkrasattri R
Rip Tides at Nai Harn Beach 2008-06-23 04:13:00 From a post in one of the Phuket Internet Forums:Just a reminder to all we are into that time of year where the sea can get really dangerous.Many times the sand bottom can change pretty rapidly, cause a bit of adugout which can create super mean undertows and rip tides.I was at Nai Hairn beach on Sunday and watched a rip tide form reallyquickly.

Rain on Phuket but sun on Phi Phi 2008-06-21 11:34:00 The last 2 days have also been mostly dry and sunny, but the current weather forecast warns of rain for the coming week. Let's see where it falls...I was on a trip to Phi Phi today, where we had great weather and the best sunshine (a painful sunburn bears witness that living in the tropics does not make one more immune to UV than a tourist!).It is worth noting that during the rainy season, even if

Phuket Tide Tables June 2008 2008-06-02 04:46:00 The Phuket Tide Tables
for June are not only of interest for divers and yachties, but also for those who do like a stroll on the beach in the evenings.Low tide means hard sand good for walking, while tyhe high tide forces a walk on the soft sand on the top of the beach, which can be a struggle sometimes. - Phuket Tide Tables - June 2008 - at Koh Taphao
Quiet evenings at Bangwad Reservoir 2008-05-31 04:38:00 Seemingly I am not the only one who likes an evening stroll along the dam of Bangwad reservoir in Kathu.This large lake (1 kilometer long, the dam alone is 800 meters) is just a hop over the mountain from Patong, and most people do not even know it is there. To get there just find Phuket Country Club Golf Course and drive through and all the way to the reservoir.From Jamie Monk:Today has seen it's Read more:Quiet

Sunny Nai Yang Beach and the Dewa Phuket 2008-07-08 04:56:00 Nai Yang and the Sirinath National Park are the beach best suitable if you reach Phuket by air and are extremely short on time: they are located right at the airport. With sunny weather (which we had today), Nai Yang Beach
offers a beautiful tropical setting and the Indigo Pearl would be my recommended resort to stay here.I was having a lunch right on the beach at a group of food stalls outside th Read more:Sunny

Bor Pla Restaurant in Kathu 2008-06-28 04:30:00 A little-known restaurant in Kathu, right over the mountain from Patong, is one of my favorite spots to have a peaceful afternoon meal.I am a sucker for Thai food and do not mind to eat it the Thai way (eg sitting at a very low table on the floor -- but they also have 'normal' tables with chairs). Portions are large and I can especially recommend the Spare Ribs, incredible juicy and fleshy for jus
