Oh they are great fun. Kids love it. They use elephants that are too old to work in the timber camps. They have a trail that they walk on that is about a 0 minute trip through the jungle.
Phuket has great night markets and restaurants. I once saw a really beat up Chinese clone of an AK-47 with a full clip in a stall there with a bunch of knives and other “outdoor gear”. The guy wanted $30 US and I wouldn’t pay more than $25 I have no idea what I’d have done with the thing if I’d have bought it. I don’t know if it would even fire
Ha! I had a friend who’d disappear maybe three times a year to go there. From what he reported, “You can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant” in Phuckit. Or something like that. I’ve never been.
