Phuket is a very popular travel destination located in Southern Thailand. One of the principal reasons why Phuket has grown into one of Asia's leading travel destinations is because of the wild and amazing nightlife which visitors encounter on this tropical Asian island. Of course this leading Thai travel destination has plenty of other attractions and activities to offer its tourists, which include white sandy beaches and these popular tourist shows found at Simon Cabaret and Phuket Fantasea. However the nightlife has been ranked as the leading attraction for many travelers and tourists.

Phuket has many repeat visitors and the vast majority of these repeat tourists return back to this popular holiday destination because of the large variety of excellent bars and the many cute Thai girls that are employed at these Phuket nightlife venues.

Travelers who are planning to spend their vacation on Phuket and who would like to spend many evenings exploring the exiting nightlife should definitely reserve accommodation in Patong beach. This popular beach resort area is where most popular Phuket nightlife establishments are located.

Patong Girls are dangerous beauties

Patong girls are modern day sirens. Some of them make it their life’s work to ensure a rich Westerner. It is not that they particularly find Westerners attractive, but that they find their wallets particularly interesting. Trying to understand Patong girls is a very dangerous pastime. Not trying to understand Patong girls is even more lethal.

Part of the inherent problems that Westerners face when traveling to the island is the fact that there are so many girls in Patong. You can’t walk 10 meters without finding some sort of bar or entertainment complex with an abundance of girls dancing away. This, to some men, is heaven on earth. The girls generally look great and, when they flutter their eyelids at you, it is easy to think that you have won the jackpot. Going anywhere without trying to understand Patong girls is the mistake of the century, though. You can be married and divorced again just from a week’s holiday in the sun. Imagine what you wife will say when you return! She will not bother trying to understand Patong girls!

The girls are dangerous because of their beauty and their single minded desire to get what they want. If you don’t mind giving them what they want, and take everything at face value, then perhaps this really is heaven on earth.

Phuket bars that are well worth a visit

If you like bars and you happen to be in Phuket then you’re in luck. In fact it’s like your birthday, Christmas and Wedding day all rolled into one. Phuket bars are world renowned as excellent places to drink and hang out. Phuket bars alone are definitely worthy of a trip to Phuket.

One thing is for sure: Phuket bars are markedly different from their Western counterparts, and the organization of the bars will leave some confused. Never fear! I’m here to clear up some of this confusion.

The main area where most of the bars are situated is Bangla road. This road is around 600m and is wall to wall with restaurants, market stalls, bars and night clubs. There are some other areas where you will find some evening action, but Bangla road has to be one of the most impressive.

Most of the Phuket bars are positioned on side streets called ‘Soi’s. A Soi is just a grouping of related or unrelated establishments; they have names like ‘Soi Crocodile’, ‘Soi Lion’ and, interestingly, ‘Soi Eric’.

You can easily get lost in one Soi for an evening (or more); if you want a better taster of what Phuket bars are about then you would do better to do a little more traveling around the different types of Soi.

Phuket is a special place

There’s something about Phuket that keeps visitors coming back year after year. Phuket is a large island in southern Thailand. It has beaches, nightlife, culture, attractions, activities and restaurants. If you’re thinking about where to go for your next holiday, Phuket might be just what you’re looking for – so get online, look up those cheap Phuket flights and let’s get planning your trip.

First the beaches. Phuket has more than a dozen beaches vying for your attention. Phuket’s beach vary in terms of quality and beauty, but each one has its own unqiue charm. Patong is the most popular beach in Phuket, although it’s more sun loungers than sand.

The best beaches in Phuket are the ones that not so many people go to. Mai Khao on the north of the island is a prime example. Also check out places such as Yanui Beach and Nai Harn Beach.

While you’re in Phuket, you might want to take advantage of a day trip to one of the nearby islands. There are lots of island dotted around the coast of Phuket. Coconut Island is one of the best and virtually no tourists ever make it that far. If you want to catch a glimpse of what Phuket might have looked like 30 years ago, go to Coconut Island.

There is lots to do in Phuket. You can go on safari tours, try go-karting, go elephant trekking or even bungee jumping. There are activities all over the island, which is why Phuket is such a great destination for families.

Partygoers always commend Phuket for its nightlife scene. The current hotspot is Surin Beach, which now has large number of trendy drinking establishments that have been successfully injecting a bit more life into the party scene. During high season, be sure to visit Laem Sing Beach on Sunday for the Soundwave Sunday beach party – Phuket’s original and best.

Billionaires Staying Out of Bars on Phuket

Phuketwan Billionaires and Bars File

PHUKET has attracted its share of billionaires recently, and reports come to Phuketwan occasionally about the activities of the (super) rich and famous.

But staying a billionaire these days is almost as difficult as staying out of bars.

And the point is, as even left-wing agrarian economists will admit, having a collection of billionaires as fans does the island no harm at all.

Bill Barnett, the resorts and property specialist consultant, has offered a little speculation about the uberwealthy on Phuket in his new blog.

The Barnett list has been picked up by Property Report, and the introduction does have a somewhat 2007 approach that begins: ''Thailand's resort island of Phuket is fast becoming the place for the rich and famous in search of tropical island living coupled with great investment.''

Sure, sure . . .

The list of billionaires offered is topped by New Zealand's wealthiest brothers, Richard and Christopher Chandler with a fortune valued at more than US$ 2 billion and Canadian Robert Friedland,with Forbes reporting his net worth at US$1.4 billion.

Others on the almost-as-well-regarded Barnett-Property Report list include Hong Kong's Allan Zeman, considered to be the Father of Hong Kong entertainment zone Lang Kwai Fong: ''While his personal worth remains undisclosed he is highly ranked among Asia's most wealthy and influential businessmen'' and Formula One star Kimi Raikkonen, earning a reported US$ 44 million a year and ranked by Forbes as the fifth highest paid sports star and 26th highest paid celebrity.

The British Binatone founder, Gulu Lalvani, rounds out the list with his ''globetrotting celebrity and multi-million dollar personal fortune.''

We know of a couple of others who are frequent Phuket visitors and make the ''Australia's Wealthiest'' list: Bill Wavish and Solomon Lew, both products primarily of retail store fortunes.

Gulu Lalvani famously decided to build an artificial island for megayachts a few years back after a conversation with Bill Gates, who this year lost less money than Warren Buffett to retake his position at the top of wealthy lists worldwide.

We know less about the Russian billionaires, but reports say several big players have tumbled out of their Top 10 Rich List.

Some of them are bound to be Phuket fans.

The BBC reports that Indian businessman Anil Ambani has been revealed as the biggest loser on the 2009 Forbes World Billionaire list, losing $31.9 billion over the past 12 months.

Mr Ambani, who runs the telecoms and finance arms of the former Reliance Group, had been the biggest gainer in 2008.

India's billionaires saw massive falls, with Mr Ambani's brother Mukesh and steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal both seeing over half their net worth wiped out.

The 793 people listed lost 23 percent of total wealth on average over the past year.

The impact of the global economic downturn on people's fortunes was apparent, with 332 names from last year's list not making the cut, the BBC reported.

The huge losses almost make the billionaire's club sound like something you'd be glad to never have to join. Almost.

Thailand is not short of people who are extremely wealthy too, some with fortunes made in property.

Chaleo Yoovidhya, Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi and Dhanin Chearavanont made the latest world wealth rankings by Forbes.

Red Bull founder Chaleo Yoovidhya led the trio with an estimated net worth of $3.7 billion, good for 151st place in the latest ranking, up from 260th last year. His estimated net worth fell from $4 billion in 2008.

Liquor and property magnate Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi was ranked 318th with a net worth of $2.1 billion, down from 307th place and $3.5 billion last year.

The magazine said Asian billionaires lost $447 billion overall as a result of the global crisis, with the number of Asians on the global list falling to 130 from 211 last year.

Region-wide, 28 of Asia's billionaires on the global list are from China, 24 from India, 19 from Hong Kong and 17 from Japan. Another 10 are from Australia, six from Malaysia, five each from Indonesia and Taiwan, four from South Korea, three each from New Zealand and Thailand, and two each from Kazakhstan, the Philippines and Singapore.

Phuket Town offers eighteenth century charm

pa href=”http://1stopthailand.com/phuket/”Phuket/a is best known around the world as a holiday destination that boasts spectacular stretches of beach, crystal-clear waters and luxurious resort accommodation, but there’s another side of the popular resort island that many visitors find has a special appeal. /p

pThe Old Town, dating from the 18th century, is characterized by the Sino-Portuguese architecture of its mansions and shophouses, which are still decorated with a combination of European and Chinese art. /p

pIn the 18th century Phuket was an important port and was also the base of a thriving tin-mining industry controlled by the Chinese. The Chinese tin miners eventually played an important role in creating the blended Sino-Portuguese style of the town./p

pOriginally the island was called Bukit, which is a Tamil word that means “crystal mountains”. As a port, it was a regular stop on the route for Indian and Arabic sailors to stock up on provisions and to repair their vessels. /p

pWhenever the weather was unfavourable, visiting ships would ride out the storms in Phuket, waiting for winds that would take them across the Andaman Sea back to India and further west. At times, the wait could last for months, which contributed further to the development of the town, and added to its cosmopolitan nature./
