As I started getting into researching the best beach for our family to stay at while we’re in Thailand, I found myself getting routed to a large amount of information on Phuket. My focus on more first hand sources, i.e blogs, seems to be paying off in much more relevant and personal information.
The We Love Phuket blog is really good! Apparently, there’s a fella named Jaime who has been living there for 9 years with his wife and family. It has great out of the way and less commercialized recommendations for accommodations, food and attractions. I need to spend some time reading through all this in-depth first-hand information.
I have to give kudos to the folks who came up with the name Phuket Gazette. Here there are classified ads for houses/condos for rent. I found a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom place for about $400/month. I don’t know about the neighborhood, etc., but we’re definitely in the pricepoint sweet spot!
