Actually its pronounced pooKit...

The 2005 Tsunami killed alot of folks there so I suppose they are still spooked. I took the family there last August the beaches and family resorts are really quite nice

Understood thanks, and that’s how I see it also.

Phuket is located right in the section of Thai coast impacted horribly by the Tsunami.

I’m not making Thai jokes. I admire the Thais a lot.

Our own Libertarians, should be more like Thais, IMHO. Very free people, in many regards. They’ve got that almost impossible system: in effect a benevolent dictatorship. It’s actually a Kingdom, and the King is in fact quite powerful - yet the system keeps hands off their citizens for the most part. Very unique.

I just noticed the article linked on Stan Deyo’s site, and having just had a small quake here yesterday thought it might be worth posting.
