Their web site says it's "close," but it's at least half a day away. For pictures from Feb 2002, see my web site: http://buten.net/max/thailand-krabi/...and-krabi.html We loved it! No experience with the other two. - Max -- MisterMax Slideshows of Angkor Wat, Bali, Crete, France, Malaysia, Maui, Morocco, Mt Holly, Sicily, St Tropez, Singapore, Thailand, Tour de France: http://buten.net/max/ (Yes,RemoveDoubles is part of my email address.

Hello,
For honeymoon I highly recommend for Evason Phuket (Villa Honeymoom room). The Villa Honeymoom is locate on private island (only one room on small island) that far from main hotel about 10-15 minutes. you can see detail here http://www.hotels2thailand.com/hotel...son-phuket.htm This is about the room rate that I find for you. http://www.hotels2thailand.com/thail...destination=31 (included tax, service charge and breakfast) http://r24.org/kingdomthailand.com/phuket/evason/ (included tax, service charge) http://www.hotelthailand.com/phuket/evason/index.html (included tax, service charge) http://www.phuket-hotelguide.com/hotels/hktpir.htm?GIH (included tax, service charge) Have a nice honeymoon |

West facing beaches will not be usable in July and that applies to all
three choices. It's the Southwest monsoon season - that's why they are cheap.

What do you mean by "not being usable" in July? Onshore winds and waves big enough, in the case of the Chedi, which is one of my favourite hotels and where I last stayed in November, to wash most of the beach away. Face Southwest from Phuket and the next land is Africa. Swimming is out of the question for much of the period, May to September. If you want a beach type holiday in Thailand in July, better go to the Gulf side or, at the very least, find an East facing resort. -- Philip Allum |

I have been to Phuket in May and September and during these visits swells were moderate. Can affect on poor swimmers but this and undertow are a fraction compared to conditions in Kuta most of the year for instance. Swells are truly large in few places in Thailand because the continental shelf reaches pretty far into seas keeping waters shallow anywhere close to shore. |

I stayed at Karon last may and did not swim there once , Patong was much the
same. I found swimming was best as Kata if you still want to be close to Patong(more protected). BTW if it does not stop raining consider a trip or two to Phi Phi - it seems to have a different weather pattern even though its pretty close to phuket. Personally I do not think I would go there in May again due to the bad weather - still had a great time but was expecting some of that postcard type weather and water. |
