I am heading to Phuket on June 20th (for the fourth time). This time I will be on my own , for the first week anyway.

I would love to meet some other 'farang' women....if there are any in Phuket...lol.

Done all the tourist stuff...so I just want to hang with some good company.

I very much enjoy just relaxing on the beach..but by the evening I am just itching for a nice meal, good pubs, and a bit of banter.

Also would love to know where get good manicures, pedicures, etc etc etc......I'm up for pampering myself big time!!

ta!

Hi Girty

Sorry I’m not anywhere near Phuket.

I spent a week on Patong a few years ago and to be honest didn’t like it much – the beach wasn’t great and an US naval boat had just arrived . My mate and I spent most of our time in the hotel being pampered and at a fun Irish pub (can’t remember the name).

Curious where you normally stay, as I think we chose the wrong place. I’ve heard there are some lovely quiet beaches – believe Kate Moss, Jude, Sadie and co stayed at one and loved it .

I'd love to accompany you but I can't! If you normally live in Bangkok and want to make an additional friend, let me know In any case, have fun!
