Hi all,
We have just returned from a trip to Karon, Phuket and loved the area. Quiet (compared to Patong) but with plenty to do for a pair of "young at heart" who aint dead yet!
I am now researching our next holiday late oct-ealy nov 2011 and am considering Bali.
Am i totally wrong in saying that Sanur might be on par with Karon as Kuta = Patong? We also loved Batu Ferringhi (especially at night) for a totally relaxing holiday.
We enjoy shopping (yes, even he likes a bit of shopping), local restaurants, and a drink or 2 (or even 3) but without the crazy crowd in bars (like Patong) and of course sighseeing.
Cheers,
shazz
