Review - Pam and Russell - Transfers and Phang Nga Bay

HI Francesco
 
Thanks so much for arranging our day out today. We had a really good day and enjoyed going up to Big Buddha and had the best meal in the most beautiful garden and could not believe how reasonable the prices were as well. Definitely rated as our second favourite meal this holiday. We enjoyed Kok Chang and although we come from Africa and are not partial to tamed elephants these elephants were cared for and on our short trek we found an elephant of theirs up in the trees grazing and enjoying freedom.
All in all a very good day and now we are in KL awaiting our flight back to Perth.
Thanks too for arranging our superb day to Phang Nha. The lunch we had their we rated our most favourite and tasty meal. I also loved the coconut sweet treats cooked in banana leaves that we tried with coffee on our way up to Phang Nha, they were delicious.
Your organising definitely made our trip so easy from our airport collection to our ferry pick ups and trip to Phi Phi and getting us back to the airport.

Many thanks

Kind regards

Pam

Review - Jean & Paul - Private Phang Nga Bay Tour

Dear Francesco

Tony & I have just returned from our private tour of the James Bond Island with Bee and Mr Pual.

We have had the most fantastic day and wish you to know that both Bee & Mr Pual were exemplary and looked after us very well indeed.

Bee was very informative about the island and the village on stilts, we also visited a cave temple. Bee is a credit to your company and we thank her for a wonderful day. Everything went according to plan, the long boat, the sea kayak and the lunch, well done, we really enjoyed ourselves.

Kindest Regards

Jean and Tony Kimber

Phuket Weather February 2015

Weather in February is as expected, clear blue sky. The wind sometime has been bit stronger than normal making air temperature very pleasant.
Phuket Weather in February
Bungalow Bay on Valentine day 2015 - Racha Yai Island

Same as the sea that seems to be a bit cooler than usual.

Overall very good, just around Chinese new year (18 to 20 February) a tin line of clouds covered the sun and on 18 night few drops of rain made the night sleep great.

This will be the year of the goat in Chinese Lunar calendar

Review - Stephanie, Lasse and Sophie - Phi Phi Day tour with toddler

Dear Francesco and Diego,

We wanted to thank you both for making this trip happen for us. We all had a great time and your suggestion for me not to go on the speedboat was absolutely the right one. I had a fantastic time with my daughter on gorgeous Long Beach, whilst my husband enjoyed the speedboat tour.

Thank you again very very much for your efforts and apologise for the many back and forth emails.

I will certainly recommend your company to family and friends visiting Phuket.

All the best,

Stephanie

Phuket weather January 2015

We haven't done any Phuket weather update during the month simply because there is nothing else to say rather that weather in Phuket in January 2015 has been fantastic.

Cool breeze in the evening, only few drops of rain at begin of the month and sunshine
Phuket Stadium
Parade at Phuket Sarakul Stadium - the only rain in January 2015

Beaches are great without the long lines of sun beds and umbrellas, now people can take their own or rent the small chairs and umbrellas from local people. This give the beaches a retro look despite they look not in order. But why should everything be aligned.
Patong Beach
Patong Beach in January 2015

Much more space for those like to walk or play football and enjoy free beaches in Phuket

The month of January is perfect for any activities:

Diving in Phuket with Manta Rays
Great snorkeling at Racha Yai island
Enjoy a afternoon tour with sunset dinner on board

Sunset Dinner in Phuket
Sunset Cruise - Koh Keow Yai


For February looks like we are going to enjoy a another great month, the best for winter holidays in Thailand

Can also compare with weather during January 2014

Review - Deborah and Marian

Dear Malila.

We had a fantastic day on the Racha Yai tour, it was lovely and great value.

The staff were so helpful especially with my Mum. They helped her in and out of the boat and guided her when snorkelling.

The other tour was not so good.

It was bad weather and to be honest the description of the tour was a little misleading as we did not see the James Bond Islands.

The tour guide Julie had a sweater on and kept saying how cold she was. We couldn't see anything due to the bad weather and we kept getting wet due to the high waves.

It was so rough that we did not dare go to the toilet as the boat was lunging from side to side.

There was only beer and very cheap wine to purchase and no spirits.

The food was freezing and we had no lights at the back of the boat.

The toilet at the Marina was in a terrible state and if we had know it was going to take so long to get to the Marina we may not have gone in the first place.

I really think you should speak to the owners and recommend that they do not go out in bad weather.

Everyone on board was expecting something much different, some people got dressed up for the occasion only to be covered in sea spray.

It was a disaster and the worst tour I have ever done. As it was my Mums birthday I wish I had taken her for a nice dinner instead.

I will post a nice review on Trip Advisor for the other tour as I really enjoyed that one but not the other one.

The staff at your company were excellent and I will definitely recommend your company to others.

Thank you again for everything.

Kind Regards,
Deborah Sellers

Phuket Weather December up to 31st

First of all Happy New Year to everyone and we wish all a great 2015

Form weather side during second half of December wether in Phuket must say was normal. Often in Dece,ner in Phuket weather can reserve some surprise. Such as days with tick clouds, raina dn strong wind.

The two pictures here below have been taken on same day, the first at lunch time in Patong Beach. The Second in Kathu around 16:00 hrs. The Storm last for about two hours. Evening was again fine.

They give the exact idea of the weather in Phuket in December

Patong Beach - December 2014
Lunch at Sabai Restaurant on 26 December 2014
Weather in Phuket in December
Late Afternoon Weather in Kathu on 26 December 2014

This happen for three days before Christmas,  however almost of days weather was fine with sun, cool breeze and few drops of rain.
Kamala Beach - Phuket
Kamala Beach on 27 December 2014

Today we can close the year with a very nice day the cool breeze in theevening and night will make NYE even more pleasant.

See you in the New Year for more updates for Phuket Weather that looks fine for next month.

Phuket weather Update up to 15 December 2014

It is high season and so not much to say about weather. During first two weeks of December weather in Phuket has been good. Some rain in the evening, locally heavy.

Didn't rain every evening just few times. During the day very hot and a mild breeze from east taking relief.

Patong Beach December 2014
Patong Bay on 1st December 2014

Then on 14 December a cloudy day with wind brought fresh air to Phuket, this happen every year in December. Don't forget that will be winter also here so temperature will go down a bit.... 24 Celsius in the early morning.
Loch Palm Golf - Phuket
Kathu hills 15 December 2014 - morning

Then this morning back to normal, still some clouds on the sky and evening a short rain that refresh air for a good night sleep

Sea has seen bad condition only on 14th December for the rest very good with water as usual between 28 and 30 Celsius

So nothing to be worry during holidays, just keep an eye to the sky and remember that Phuket is a tropical island and rain is part of its life. The green forest that covers almost part of it is a rain forest.

Forecast say that some more windy and rainy day could happen before end of the week eventually enjoy a great day at one of the many spa and massage in Phuket.

When look at forecast remember that the important part is the percent of coverage that identify the risk of rain and not the icon that generally says that weather is variable..as it should be
