Christmas in Phuket

Me again!

After travelling to Phuket last year in October I am a little unsure of how busy the place will be when we return there this time on Dec 19th for christmas?

has anyone spent christmas in or around patong before?

Will we have to wait ages to get a taxi from the airport into patong or shouldi organise a car to pick us up?

Also, will a lot of the beaches outside of patong (Suring, Rawai, karon etc) be crowded during this period dec 19th-26th?

any info that you have would be most welcome %26amp; pls drop me a line if you%26#39;ll be in the area for Xmas too!

cheers

Christmas in Phuket

Hi Kaz, We have never experienced high season in Phuket however our thai friend who has three restaurants in Kata told us that they have three sittings every night for dinner in the high season. Now thats a lot of people. Have a great christmas in the land of smiles.CJ
