good stuff , now save as much as you can! asia is cheap , but you still spend more than you imagine. do some tours , you learn a lot about the country that way.
In Phuket , visit the market for some cheap clothes and some basic electronic gear. do a tour to James Bond Island ( Phi Phi ) which includes canoeing around beautiful limestone outcrops.
the bus will return via some large jewellery making shop or some other tourist traps.
get window seat on the plane , you'll snap a few awesome photos just flying into Phuket.
if you buy duty free , ensure you claim back the GST at the VAT counter - BEFORE you enter the baggage check in. once you are in the terminal its too late. bit of a quirky thing.
in the markets , buy a T shirt that says - " no , i dont want a tuk tuk , massage or suit " they do sell em , and you will need one!!
