Perhaps it's the best compromise to know that others are still enjoying its magic but not trying to recapture it yourselves. We really enjoyed our time in Phuket overall. I was trying to save money and booked in low season. It turns out that it's low season because the monsoon makes the beaches full of red flag warnings, so we couldn't hit the water as much as I'd hoped. Too rough! Other than that, it was a really family friendly place if you pick the right hotel.

Nice to see that your beautiful restaurant is still there, and still wowing diners. Believe it or not, all of the years that I have been going to Thailand (not as long as you and Joel, mind you) I have never been to Phuket. I'll have to change that one of these days. :)<br />Nanciehttp://www.budgettravelerssandbox.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-71767578869314635302015-07-31T13:32:03.175-07:002015-07-31T13:32:03.175-07:00Oh BJ you are so kind.
