I'm over Phuket.
The sense of constantly being ripped off just destroys any fun for me.
You can't go from Beach A to beach B without paying 800+ baht, the hotels want to charge ridiculous joiner fees and even when you do pay them they still don't allow your guest to use the facilities have breakfast etc..
One time I checked in with a friend, who was going to stay the week, and in the evening security still tried to collect a joiner and refused to give me his name when I compained.
All the shops are over priced, unless you go to Tesco...and fuck it, I got Tesco here.
And the talent on Bangla is wanting...and a rip off. One friend told me on his last trip the girl tried to get TWO bar fines out of him, one for mamasan and one for bar. He walked away.
Too many better options in Thailand to endure a trip to Phuket again. Only nice thing I can say about it, is it acts as kind of a magnet for the scummiest Thais (and thats nice if you go elsewhere).
