After two nights in Phuket town, Kamala is a nice change of scenery. I wouldn't say that the town of Phuket is bad necessarily--we didn't give it much of a chance--but after two nights at the Twin Inn, I'm not aching to go back.
We arrived in Phuket on Jan 14th without reservations made for accommodation--this action was recommended to us by our friend at the lucky temple in Bangkok, and I don't blame him.
The taxi driver, who WAY over charged us, took us to a nice lady named Jenny at a travel agency near the airport upon arriving. After a few phone calls, we found out that our picks for accommodation at various beaches around the island were either full or twice the listed price in our trusty guide book, i.e. 800-1000 Baht per night, if we were lucky.
So Twin Inn it was. 850 per night, including breakfast. Let's just say it didn't look like the brochure.
Hence, we saw a lot of the inside of the room (with the view of the backside of a billboard two feet away), knitting, reading, writing, talking, watching TV.
Highlights: the pool was tiled blue and had three little statues spouting water; we watched an excellent Spanish film entitled The Sea Inside, we highly reccommend that.

Sorry to hear about the "bad Ju ju" hmmm i guess Lonely Planet isn't always 100% accurate (shocked and appalled!!) Oh, and i think i've seen the "sea Inside" movie - it was really good!
Always good to hear from you lovely ladies, even if it's not always good news!
