Phuket.com Magazine Newsletter - April 2008

Welcome to the April edition of Phuket.Com's monthly magazine. In this issue we head north off Phuket Island and visit beautiful Khao Lak, some 90 kilometres away. We've covered all the bases in Khao Lak's hot news, 10 reasons for staying at two featured hotels there, in-depth reviews of The Sarojin and The Briza, restaurant reviews of the Bamboo Bar and Seafood Grill in Le Méridien, and Ficus restaurant in The Sarojin.

Our tour section takes in a review of a day snorkeling trip to the Surin Islands and recommends a decade of the best tours to explore in the Khao Lak area. And if this isn't enough for you we also have a Khao Lak overview so that you can capture the feel of being in this sun-kissed sandy piece of paradise.
