Phuket......The Good the Bad and the UGLY!!!

Ok so I arrived in Phuket, and I had booked a hotel in Potong which is where center of tourism

My hotel:





is, of course it is also the center of debauchery.. and frankly... a bit of a *hit hole. This is the beach:



Looks like a white trash convention on the beach....


here is the strip:

What would any trip to Potong be without a ladyboy pic:



It's really incredible just how "pretty" some of them are...but just a quick hint, beware of tall girls in Thailand. It's a bummer to see a hot girl and then suddenly realize she is well he is er .... whatever.

The strip is has "soi's" which are alleys filled with beer bars and bar girls.. as you walk through the soi they all say WEWCOME!!!!.....to try and get you to come to their bar... after a while it's a bit irritating.. this is a pic of Soi Tiger:



So after deciding Potong is a *hit hole I decided to explore Phuket more. .....
