My younger sis just called me today to say she has bought a hotel in Thailand and she (and hubby) are leaving CT in June to go and run it etc..
Totally outta the blue
She got married there last year September and fell in love with the country.
So if any of you are planning a trip to Thailand from July onwards I know a hotel in Phuket that you can stay in

Depending on where you go, absolutely yes!
The whole of Southern Thailand is like that photo. Crystal clear blue seas and white sands.
It is one of the few places I've been where reality lives up to the photo's. Some really beautiful beaches and islands.
There are 10 types of people in this world.
Those who understand binary and those who do not.

Yup, well the islands yes but Phuket is over crowded and the beaches are a bit less clean, and there was a drain outside our hotel which was running into the ocean so i decided not to swim there

Yes i agree, Phuket is taking strain under the pressure of all the tourists.

You need to be careful though, you could get taken for a real ride if you go to thailand, you might be better booking through a travel agency. There is a language barrier and it gets bigger the further up north you go.
And do not rent a car or bike in thailand. take a taxi.
That looks like a pretty good price to me. What cage you going to put it in?
In fact now that i think about it, that is a really good price! A quick look at Sybaritic, and they're no where near those prices (in fact they don't even have a 320gig 2.5" drive)
