Phuket 
With land prices on this glorious island at record
levels, the pace of development has slowed to a trickle.Which
means that Phuket's wonderfully laid-back and tropical character
remain as before. visitors can also expect to find a beach or
bay to suit individual tastes. Patong is fast and glitzy, while
Kata and Karon are serene backwaters. Year-round good weather,
quality hotels at reasonable price and the amazing choice of leisure
pursuits mean that the island will continue to be one of Asia's
hottest resorts in 1996.
