Phuket Thaildand in 2010 - Preparing trip

Travel to Phuket was decided totally impulsively. My uncle Chi-won has a  house in Phuket not sure where it located exactly and he invited us to the Phuket in Korean national holiday Chu-Seok. So I started to find air ticket and  shlould have to buy it with high price(as same as ticket to Europe!!).
Travel to Phuket was the most non-prepared one I've ever been. So I have to get some information about Phuket in my office(even in my working hour). I found not only resort we should stay but also some popular restaurants and places to sight-seeing.


When I back from the work, YJ had bought travel guidebook named "inside Phuket and Phiphi island" and it was great helpful for us.

Cover of book looks so simple but it contains useful map all around the Phuket(include close province around Phuket) and later it helped me finding road for driving. So If you planned to trip to Phuket, I surely recommend this book for you.

Most hard to decide was where should we stay in Patong. It's not difficult thing choose region where we stay in Phuket. I surfed some websites and individual blogs and Patong is the best place where we got a hotel. Becasue Patong-beach is the most famous for traveler of all around the world and we can enjoy convenient facilities until late night if we stay Patong area. But there are too many resorts and hotels in Patong.
Eventually, I decided stay in Millennium Patong resort which has great reviews in Trip-Advisor.com. Millennium hotel chain is from Singapore and  I have good rememberance when I stayed in New-York's millennium hotel broadway. I'm certain Millennium Patong's location and  service are second to none.
