Phuket.com Magazine Newsletter - July 2008

Bangkok

Welcome to Phuket.com magazine's July edition. This month, we head two-and-a-half hours by car off the island to visit beautiful Krabi Province. Home of world-famous Railay Beach and beautiful Phi Phi Island, we take a look around and discover some quirky aspects of the area in Unusual Thailand. Railay is internationally known as a choice rock climbing destination and we examine the climbing climate there. For our featured brace of hotels this month we have chosen the regal Sofitel Phokeethra Krabi Resort & Spa and Ao Nang's recently renovated Pakasai Resort and a fine couple they make.

If you need ten reasons to stay at either Railay Bay Resort or Centara Krabi Resort we have them for you and we could give you ten more if you so wish! And if fast boats, luscious scenery and oodles of tropical fish are your thing then you'd love our Krabi Four-Islands Half-Day Tour. Our ever-popular restaurant review section this month features Venezia– a top-class trattoria in Sofitel, and Malati, the spanking-new Indian restaurant in the sumptuous Sheraton grounds.

Last, but not least, we have Krabi and Hotel News to keep you abreast of all the exciting events and developments that are happening in this beautiful part of the world.
