More Phuket Bloggers

If you search hard enough around the internet or dig deeper into Google, you may find that Jamie's Phuket is not the only blog about Phuket or written by someone in Phuket. I keep an eye on some other people's blogs looking for different angles on Phuket, something I have not seen or thought of blogging about. Everyone has a different point of view, though I'd say all the blogs and bloggers listed below have one thing in common - all are Phuket lovers!

Although Jamie's Phuket (that's this blog) is my main blog, I keep several others which are updated with varying degrees of diligency. The Phuket Weather Blog is kept updated every few days, reporting on weather and local news, normally with photos that show the weather. There are lots of links to other useful weather sites too.

I have a couple of others - We Love Phuket has a fair amount of information on things like cheap places to stay in Phuket and how to get to Phuket. Gets updated when I think of an article that does not quite fit on Jamie's Phuket. Another blog is Monk in Thailand, which is quite new, and mentions such diverse subjects as Darth Vader, Fig Rolls or how to pronounce Phuket. The Photo Blog I try to add some favourite photos now and then. Just photos, no words to get in the way. The Phuket hotels blog is all about hotels and where to book them online.

• We Love Phuket
• Monk In Thailand
• Phuket Photos Blog
• Phuket Hotels Blog

So, what about other people? These are some blogs I can recommend for Phuket information - and this is "blog" information rather than tour guide information (you know, always sunny, everyone smiles, Phuket is the pearl of Thailand). Blogs are becoming quite important to travel - you can get a local's point of view and check out other travelers reports too. Here are some recommended blogs. Some are updated more often than others.

• Baan Jochim Phuket - Mark is a teacher at a bilingual school in Phuket.
• Lana in Phuket - Lana is also married with 2 kids, but she's a mum.
• The Lost Boy - Matt worked at the Phuket Gazette newspaper and has been a regular Thai blogger for a few years. He now lives in Dili.
• Matt's Phuket - Not updated much, but Matt likes to exlore the back roads.
• Tim in Phuket - Tim is a hotel manager and (like me) enjoys the local side of Phuket life.
• Jim in Phuket - Almost my mirror image - married, 2 kids, living in Phuket, guess we'll meet for a beer one day!
• Phakawan's Blog - Mostly in Thai, Wan works with me at the dive shop.
• Cathy and Gary - They don't live here, but often visit Phuket. Their site has loads of information.
• Lisa in Phuket - She and her husband are teachers at an international school.
• Alasdairs Blog - Al is an old Phuket hand, lots of stories to tell.
• Glenn in Phuket - Glenn hikes, plays guitar and sells thermal clothing online!

If you have a blog about Phuket or know a good one, please let me know!
