Yes, but obviously the locals don't like the competition for the tourist dollar. They want monopoly on the sex-trade, transport, tours, hotel bookings, etc.

The russian-owned businesses are being targeted, not the tourists.

Bros, check with you guys, is there any activities over in Phuket town?
We are thinking of staying in Phuket town for one night.

Thanks in advance.

[HKT Boy]

Wow, haven't been here for a very long time so decided to check in for a bit.

Rikobo, what kind of activities are you referring to? If it's sight seeing and shopping then easiest to just walk around the old part of town.

But if your activities requires someone from the fairer sex then that can be had too. Unlike tourist places like Patong, Phuket Town is more the massage parlor type places and or Coyote clubs. More Thai style. For massage joints, go to Phun Phon area and just walk around and see which one you like. There's probably more than a dozen massage joints down there. But the better places would be Angel and Katherine.

For coyote clubs would be Intro, DUZz, or Barzaah.

Depends what you like but there's things to do in Phuket Town for sure.

HKTboy, agree Phuket town offers a diff scene from likes of Patong. Was there 2nd time (last time was few years back) in late March. Prices for makan is lower than touristy Patong and other resorts. Stayed at Royal Phuket City hotel, and nearby was some coyote place (forgot name liao). Guess Fantasia place still there?

Did nice dinner for 2 with 3 jugs beer, some oysters for princely sum baht 650 only at Sure Garden (thai pubs with live music next to small river). But you would hardly see angmohs around.

Last time I took a tourist walk around, interesting sino houses with tin mining history.

had a good night at kor tor mo while i was in phuket. It's a nice break from all the glitz and glamor of the clubs in Bangkok where people flock to be seen in their expensive attire. Phuket is much more laid back.

The bad thing is, i stayed in patong and was only able to go there as a friend was driving.

Nowadays more backpackers/tourists are staying in Phuket Town.

Because of the expensive transport cartels in Phuket, it is not economically viable to go there and back via taxi/tuk-tuk regularly. On the other hand, if you rent a car and are adventurous enough to trust your directional skills or GPS, you can see and experience a lot more of Phuket.

For Coyote bars(like Duzz, Barzaah, etc), my favourite is Glamour, which is situated at the open air carpark beside the Metropole Hotel. It is directly behind T2(local disco) if you know where that is. Private, girls are hot, fun, and drinks are cheap(for members, ladies drinks THB 250 for models, THB 150 for coyotes). The cheapest membership is THB 7000 for 3 bottles of Chivas, unlimited mixers/ice, use of VIP room for 1 night.

For local discos, there are Kor Tor Mor(higher class), Sofa, T2, etc, where the crowd is very local and quite friendly. Bottles are really cheap there, and you are even allowed to bring in your own hard liquor bottles as long as you buy ice and mixers from them.

If you're looking for a different kind of fun and to impress your date(assuming you're a honeymoon-ish kind of holiday), you can try Ka Jok See, where there is a dinner-cum-entertainment experience, which later graduates into a party session. Good clean fun which, from my experience, most females seem to enjoy, but for me a tad boring.

Khun thais are already using Iphone5 for a loooong while (they not from Mars, you know). Just hit local telco shops (if you can't fix at airport on arrival). If AIS, there shd be a Telewiez in Junceylon in Patong. If Phuket town, go Ocean mall.
