Where were these films filmed in Phuket?
Cigarettes and the beach
Okay I am writing for the companies who make cigarettes.
I am sick of picking up cigarette butts from the beach.
Phillip Morris
British American Tobacco
and others
When are you going to sponsor beach cleaning?
Or
Tell your smokers to dispose carefully.
Here is a template of the email sent - what was their reaction?
Here is Phillip Morris' response.
The Scene of the Churning of the Milk Ocean
I see this statue every time that I visit Suvarnabhumi Bangkok Airport. I was already fascinated by the Yuks outside but this topped it all - beautiful.
After visiting many of the Chinese Shrines scattered through Phuket and they are certainly worth visiting. What I uncovered more when I watched this and read the forum was that there are a plethora of influences on the culture of Thailand.
May be that is why the Thai people are more embracing of other people and their views?

I don't know...
Phuket Walk Rally 2013
Dragon Park was awash with Orange Shirts and it was nothing to do with Holland and the World Cup - it was the Phuket Walk Rally.
The day began with confusion for me because nothing was written in English and there were no instructions in English BUT I am in Thailand so I just watched. I think that there was only one more Farang in the park - but I am not sure.
The object of the Walk Rally (I think) was to raise the awareness of the culture of Phuket to the population. It involved us going from spot to spot, recording the information and then going to the second spot for the next clue.
Fabulous - but I was more of a hinderance so Jemma and I popped into coffee shops / toy shops / shrines and more whilst friends ran around finding out the answers.
I have designed a Phuket Walk on an App and I do enjoy investigating Phuket Old Town - there is so much to see and even though we live here we do not see. One activity was to look for patterns - fabulous. I will make a 'Seek and Find' map for this activity.
We wandered around trying to answer questions - well trying coffee and cake at each stop - i46 Coffee Shop and Mac-chiato House were just two.
I really should have set my iPhone on a walking Trail App but we did not follow a trail and the battery ran out...
After the photos were taken and the forms filled in we were all served dinner - Fabulous'. Again I was reminded how lucky I am to live here in Phuket and to welcomed to such events by the Thai people.
Thanks to the organisers of this special day...

Things to do in Phuket when it Rains
We have not all come to Phuket for the rain but Phuket does have a rainy season (all be it of a changeable date but here are some suggestions from my blog
1) Dentist
- you can always use this App to find one but I use Suan Luang Clinic Phone No. 076 - 222 579
2) Cinema
- you can always use this App to find out what is showing
6) Take a trip with John Gray Sea Canoe
7) Visit the Butterfly Garden and Insect Garden
- don't forget the Turtle Breeding at the back
9) Visit a Museum
Here are some ideas - Spas are another popular trip but I am not well versed in Spas - I would rather drink coffee and play Candy Crush. There there is shopping.
