The island of Phuket is dreaded by many for it being the costa del farang. A place, where scandinavians come by the masses on their package holidays. Should it be dreaded for that or not? Who cares -it's Phuket!
The Island is really big and there is loads to see and many places to go. Actually the place reminds me somehow of a town or city, that has built a resort aroud itself for living -like farming tourists instead of fish- and seems to succeed in it quite well.
The town itself doesn't have that many foreigners, but they're hanging out in towns built for them from and around the clusters of resorts along the beaches o the island. I spent several days just cruising around and visiting sites interest and beaches with a borrowed scooter.
