Vice consul "many Chinese visit phuket and when they return tell their friends" yes on landing your scammed at immigration,then in the taxi.then forced to go shopping and pay big money for crap,then you can go to the deadly beaches where there's no lifeguards.then if you fancy your chances go on a boat out in a storm piloted by a moron with a death wish.i won't mention roads and driving.the only thing The Chinese will probably have praise for are the prawn buffets.
