Here is the latest weather report for those keeping a check on your next holiday destination. But before that here is a little local news.

 A Myanmar (Burmese) national survived more than 12 hours alone in the sea by holding onto

Two coconuts.

The 21-year-old man, who identified himself as Poy, was pulled from the water by men on a longtail fishing boat at about noon on February 4 in Bo Phut, Koh Samui.

Mr Poy had been working on a construction site in Koh Pha Ngan. On Monday night, he and four friends were drinking on the beach.

“At about 11pm, my friend and I got into an argument. He started to attack me. He hit me hard on the shoulder with a three-inch woodenstick,” said Mr Poy.

“I ran for my life toward the water because I did not know where else to go.

“Fortunately, I found two coconuts on the beach. I grabbed them and held on tight as I knew I would not be able to swim with my injured arm. I had no idea where I was going,” he said.

“I held on to the coconuts all night and into the morning before a longtail boat picked me up.”

Phuket Weather Update 17th Feb / 23th Feb 2014

Here is the latest weather report for those keeping a check on your next holiday destination.

The Weather has definitely started to get a little warmer now in the mornings the winter does not last long in Thailand which is a shame as they are definitely the most pleasant two weeks here signifying the summer month’s arrival. 

There has not been a drop of rain this year yet, and the cooler winds blowing down from the North have stopped now and the mercury is rising. February is a fantastic month to visit Thailand and in particular Phuket

The unrest in Bangkok is still ongoing and probably will be for some time, and here is the latest from the Army chief as he  on Monday called on all sides to find a peaceful way out of the country's increasingly violent political deadlock, dismissing the possibility of a coup.

"It has come to the point where every Thai side needs to find a peaceful way out, and quickly," said Army Commander-in-Chief General Prayuth Chan-ocha in an announcement made on Channel 5 TV.

Prayuth dismissed persistent rumours that the army would step in to solve the stalemate.

"Soldiers will not take action because if we use force there would be resistance, and the country might collapse," 

Prayuth said. it is not really unrest just a few  streets blocked off by protestors wanting the government to change, much the same as any other country to be fair who is happy with their rulers. 

________________________________________________________________

The Thai people in general are a very tolerant race and even when protesting are very polite.

But this is no reason not to come to Phuket as there are many flights each day from European airports direct to Phuket. Even So flying to Phuket via Bangkok is very straight forward with multiple airlines and flights schedule daily.  

If you have never been to Phuket or Thailand for that matter, it is defiantly well worth investigating. Phuket does have high season and low season, but it operates throughout the year. People from all over the world come to sun themselves on the near perfect beaches, laze around chilling and drinking cocktails. 

If beaches are not your thing, then there is so much more to Phuket than just beaches, the sightseeing of temples and markets, the amount of restaurants and bars is astounding and there are many golf courses, scuba diving , snorkeling trip to go on the list is endless.

Here below is the last week’s weather:-

Monday February 17th: Max Temp 34 - min Temp 26 degrees very light breezes very little. Some light cloud cover towards the evening time.

Tuesday 18th February: Max Temp 34 – Min temp 27 degrees only slight breezes, light cloud cover again early evening the temp dropping down to 27 yes the weather is now getting hot all day long.

 PHUKET: The annual “Yamu Night Fishing Game”kicked off this week.

The annual competition, aimed at promoting local fishing traditions in the area, is put on by Paklok Subdistrict Municipality (OrBorTor).

“Only those fishing from longtail boats with local fishing equipment are allowed to participate. However, both Thais and foreigners are welcome to get involved,” said Paklok Public Relation staffer Samart Sensai.

“If you don’t have your own boat, you can rent one from us for 2,000 baht.”

Enrollment per team of up to five people is 1,000 baht, with only one team allowed per boat.

Registration runs from 8 am to 10 am Saturday, with teams departing from Yamu Point at 10:15 am and not weighing in their catch until noon Sunday.

Trophies will be handed to the top three contenders in a variety of categories: fish living at the surface (total weight); fish living on the seafloor (weight); sharks and rays (weight); fish caught with a fishing pole (weight); fish caught with a fishing net (weight); other (weight); and unique fish.

There will also be an award for “Great Captain,” which will be given to the man or woman who has led his or her team in bring in the greatest haul. Additionally, there will be a sportsmanship award.

"Though the OrBorTor only has trophies for the teams, the event can be good for competitors' pockets when it comes time to auction everything off," said Mr Samart.

Saturday evening while the fishermen are away, there will be a market at Yamu Point accompanied by stage performances and other entertainment, said Mr Samart, with festivities to run from 5 pm to 11 pm.

“A 5 pm on Sunday, we’ll start the partying again, as well as announce the winners on stage,” Mr Samart said.

“We had 50 teams join us last year. This year, we’re hoping for even more – everyone is welcome.”
