But if you can afford the Landmark and the Amari you clearly can afford all the petty little ripoffs which abound in the tourist areas. Don't worry be happy.

MisterMan Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Congratulations on the marriage. Amari Coral Grand is a nice hotel and a nice location away from the craziness of Patong but close enough to walk if you want some activity and shopping. From the hotel there will always be a slew of Tuk Tuks waiting to take you down the hill. I dont know their prices. Ask the hotel and their should be fixed prices. Guaranteed they are outrageous, even the fixed price. Plenty of places to eat, for a romantic dinner in an idyllic setting I would recomend Mom Tri's Kitchen at Mom Tri's Villa Royale. It overlooks the sea and rocks and its close enough to hear the waves. The food is excellent too and they have a great wine list. http://www.villaroyalephuket.com For things to do there is always elephant treking even in the rain, thai boxing (watching or perhaps taking a lesson, surfing lesson, yoga lessons, massage and spa treatments (cheaper outside of the hotel),snorkeling trips on the east coast and kayak trips. I would recomend the most popular which is john grays Starlight trip. People love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 The Amari hotel has a great Italian restaurant right on the beach overlooking the waves and rocks. Food there was good and the prices were much cheaper than I thought they were going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuandchris Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Got to agree Mom Tri's for honeymoon is the best, any of them, but I think the kitchen is the one for newly weds. Depends how much money you have. You have to do the reggae bar near the view point at sunset, also the restaurant at Promthep cape which is even better. Walk on Nai Harn beach at night and take a bottle of wine, let off a candle for luck. [That is the best, cheaper than all the others and still the most romantic thing on god's earth] Best wishes for married life together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Phuket but I agree even if you then have to find a krabi restaurant... Weather: difficult to predict even 1 day in advance, let alone a month! Make sure your trip is properly planned as otherwise its anybodies guess when you get out at present! As with the places mentioned you likely have what you need do you REALLY want local info why is is a good or bad choice???? Enjoy your time here! I would try to have meal in the Black Cat in Cheng Taley Pizza's are recommanded and steaks, Ask Philippe (owner and cook). He is French so if your choice is french food.... Other place to visit is a Thai restaurant (probably one of the best in Phuket but with a rather limited choice!) They have plah duke foo (which is catfish, meat removed, with spices etc etc). NOte: no bus!!! But I am sure something can be aranged... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
