When it comes to getting news in Phuket, you have a few options. The Phuket Gazette and Phuket Post have both been around for a while, but perhaps the best source of news at the moment comes in the form of the website Phuket Wan.
It’s run by a competent team of foreigners and locals and […]

As a freelance writer based in Southeast Asia, I’ve traveled around the region a bit, meeting lots of people and seeing lots of places. After spending a year in Phuket I had had enough of the place, but I now feel a kind of sadness in my heart that I’m not still in that place.

If you’re find yourself in Phuket over the coming weeks, be sure to check out the Soundwave Sundays parties held at Laem Singh Beach. As you’ve probably guessed, the parties take place every Sunday and they’re just about the best beach parties in Phuket.
People usually spend most of the afternoon lazing around on the beach, […]
It’s that time of year again: the Phuket Vegetarian Festival is here. The Phuket Vegetarian Festival is one of Phuket’s primary draws as Thailand’s top island tourist destination. Every year for 10 days at the start of October Phuket descends into a carnival-like stupor.
If you have never been to Phuket for the Vegetarian Festival then […]
Thailand has been in the news a lot recently. Most of the time the press is hard on Thailand – and rightly so given the shambles the country has found itself in. However, one issue that comes up in discussions of Phuket and Thailand in general is how safe the place is for tourists. If […]
We went down to Yanui Beach today to see how the place was looking and we’re sorry to report that the beach is filthy. It’s a tiny beach that is usually cleaned by a bunch of the people who work down there during high season, but as it’s low season at the moment, there are […]
We seem to be going through something of a rollercoaster in terms of flights to Phuket. From one week to the next, you never know who is going to cancel outright or else add new services for flights to Phuket. One-Two-Go and Nok Air have already shaken up the low-budget airline scene in Thailand, but […]
We went down to check out Kata Beach today to see how the area is looking this low season. The beach was looking pretty good, with only a few spots of rubbish that had accumulated by the end of the day. Kata Beach is definitely one of Phuket’s better beaches. You can swim, sunbathe and […]
There seems to be a lot of rumors about Phuket restaurants and bar at the moment. Either people have wild imaginations or else there are a few Phuket restaurants that have closed their doors.
Perhaps the saddest rumor is about Drunken Monkey, a cool little restaurant in Rawai that serves up some great pub food. The […]
