Christmas Holidays


We headed to Phuket for 4 days for the Christmas break and stayed at Dewa Phuket on Nai Yang beach. Nai Yang and Nai Thon are on the North western side of the island only 10 minutes form the airport. The beach strips are much less developed than the rest of Phuket resort areas, much like Kuta 40 years ago with many beach bars and restaurants, but none of the designer shops and advertising, in fact only two souvenir shops and a minimart. The beach is beautiful and clean. It was a lovely place to spend four days. We ended up here on the advice of Don Wagner, an old yatchie mate I hadn’t seen since Suva Harbour in 1997. I tracked him down a few years ago and found him married with two kids in Phuket, living just up the road from here.
