What a great place to visit! It got both wild jungles AND the skyscrapers at the same time! Looks very authentical and charming. I live in Phuket for a, we have a lot of splendid views as well, but not much of a city:) Have you been to Phuket yet, Randy? Great traveling blog, mate, following you now!
We've traveled mostly in Southern China - see The Best of Southern China V and I - IV for an assortment of pictures
