We always do Thailand in the winter, it makes a great winter sun destination. Whenever I see Phuket on travel programs they always seem to film it in the wet season, the sea rough and grey looking. When we go the sea is calm and the waters clear - just like the photo's in the brochure.

We've also got mixed feelings about the removal of the sunbeds and restaurants as to us that was part of what made a Thai beach. Presumably this means and end to the toe in the sand restaurants. I wonder what Hua Hin and Samui will be like as well.

The restaurants in Nai Harn have been forced back away from the beach and are vitually a 3rd of their original size. Ok for now but will cause problems in high season. Seems like the Army bulldozed any structure that encrouched onto the beach. Ok for the tree huggers I guess but not so sure it's good for everyone else.

Yes, in fact NCPO have made an attempt to cleanup all the major beaches in Phuket and have taken several other measures to improve the brand image of the country in order to promote tourism in the country.
