EJC877 Sunset in western coast of Phuket island. Image shot 11/2014. Exact date unknown.
Prenovljeni Big Buddha izgleda res impresivno. Kdor želi, lahko položi svojo ploščo na steber s poljubnim napisom na notranji strani templja, kjer je še vedno nedokončan, ali pa obesi zvonček z napisom (predvsem za zaljubljene duše) ... Lep izlet, dobra cesta do vrha in na koncu tudi lep razgled kot na vseh razglednih točkah na Phuketu ... #Phuket #BigBuddha #Thailand
This was the view for our morning swim today. This is a very clean beach, but at times there can be some plastic in the sea. Very unfortunate. If you have the budget, this would be a great area to stay at in Phuket. It is quiet and relaxing. You are also not far from Kata beach which has more of a nightlife if you need it. #Beach

The room is nice, the staff are friendly but the breakfast is not very good. You can’t find anything nutritional or appetising. The food is mostly fried, sugar and loaded with carbohydrates. The location is extremely far from the main district but beautiful pool.
