Just to clarify, what I don't like about Phuket is the fact it's attracts couples and family holiday makers, and compared to the places I normally visit in Thailand, it's quite expensive.
The accommodation at The Place to Stay was infact well priced & represented good value for Phuket, especially given its location.
Whilst I may not be a huge fan of Phuket itself, the ladyboy scene is another matter alltogether. I was very impressed with the set up at the new Cocktails & Dreams, and would have to say it's probably the most professionally managed LB Bar I've found in Thailand.
Speaking of Cocktails & Dreams, I tended to spend quite a bit of time there, although I was only in Phuket for 4 nights.
Paid a visit to the bar on my first night in Phuket, and apart from Oh who I knew from Pattaya, it was the first time I'd seen most of the girls in the flesh.
As usual, I had my trusty camera by my side to take a few photos....
