Is Phuket really that bad?

[phomsanuk]

Yawn - same old crap about Phuket from people who haven't got a clue...

To summarise the truth:

If you're a fat, drunken, ignorant expat or tourist, then some areas of Patong can be a shithole

If you're a normal, easy-going person, then Patong is fine

If you're an easy-going person, then anywhere outside of Patong/Kata/Karon is great

If you're an exceptionally nice person, jaidee, mai jai rawn ==> me - then Phuket is perfect

I live in Nai Yang/Airport region, and I also live in Ao Nang (own hotels/guesthouses in both areas). I never have a problem in either location. No-one tries to rip me off, and no-one tries to sell me some tacky suit and no-one tries to mug me. Every Thai is friendly to me

The secret to my success? I look poor!!
