I will be lucky enough to be spending two weeks in the land of smiles in just 10 days. I was thinking about a 2 or 3 day side trip to Phuket. Are the hotels rebuilt from the storm? I am not a fisherman or a diver just a fun loving tourist, how many days should I plan on? Any recomendations on where to stay or what to do would be greatly appreciated. Looking to spend 1500 -3000 Baht per night for room.
