Do It Go

The island of Phuket has so much to offer to tourists, that it is easily becoming the most popular, and populous of all the islands in the Andaman Sea.   This island is so impacted by tourism that the financial needs created by the Tsunami in 2004, have been met and the damages have been completed restored.  Much of the reputation for the island comes from the beautiful beaches, among the most popular are Kata, Karon and Patong.  There are a variety of activities from which to choose and a list of accommodations that one will certainly have no problem finding a five star hotel.  Phuket has an incredible Aquarium that houses a large collection of marine life, of salt water and fresh water fish.  They also have quite a collection of sea turtles sure to thrill children of all ages.

There is an exciting park on the island, which is the Crocodile Farm.  This is not only an adventurous activity center, but one that focuses on conservation, preservation and farming.  This park contains exhibits of alligators, crocodiles and elephants, all of which are part of daily shows that happen all week long.  Many liken the shows to the famous Steve Irwin antics and the scared faces and gasps from the audience are evidence that this is one tense but exciting experience.

For those looking for a bit calmer adventure, the Orchid Garden and Thai Village offers many options.  There are shows of boxing,  sword fighting, and elephants, and dancers performing traditional Thai classical moves, dances that represent the various cities of Thailand, but with a focus on those of Phuket.  Much of the rich culture of the country can be experienced here.  And that goes without saying, that traditional Thai food is outstanding.  There are four very fine restaurants located on the property to choose from.  As well as a market place wherein artists sell their crafts, and can be observed as they are working.  This is an all out cultural experience, of the art, the music, the food, and the soul of this amazing island.
