View tim in Phuket in a larger map
After browsing through a number of websites for inspiration I found Phuket Photo Blog had used Google Maps to create a functional map.
I found that creating this map was very interesting, do you have any comments?

| photo from Richard Barrow |
The Chinese Mooncake Festival will be with us on Monday the 12th of September.
The Chinese bake these special cakes in respect of the Autumn moon.
There will be a number of Hotels and Shops in Phuket Town which will be selling them, last year I purchased my mooncakes from The Metropole Hotel in Phuket Town.
I am looking for the Angry Birds Mooncakes though...
King's Cup Elephant Polo (5 - 11 Sept)

- certainly something that I would like to see.
It is their tenth anniversary and they (not the elephants) are on facebook!
For more information please contact the Anantara site. I am not sure why this has become so popular BUT they have raised money for charity so never mind.
Here is a pdf site for full information.
Good luck.
Pichit Boat Festival (3 - 4 Sept)
Okay I knew nothing about the Pichit Boat Festival until there was a box on the front page of the
Bangkok Post - so I think that you should read about it from
the Bangkok Post
or the TAT
or here is Richard Barrow's link.
Por Tor Festival 2011
I have posted on my personal blog and the company’s blog regarding the Por Tor Festival in Phuket Town.
I started the festival with photographs taken for my work permit – always choosing Klinc Kong in Phuket Town AND they know the right size.
Then I visited the places where they make the turtle cakes and put on the intricate writings – my daughter thought that they were beautiful.
This year was different - I went with my friend Jamie from Phuket (always a pleasure, nice camera too) and met Chaya from Phuket Heritage Trails – visit both sites and learn more about Phuket.
Then it was time for a cocktail at Siam Indigo – gin and tonic was perfect but I did steal it from one of our group – sorry.
We had our cocktail and Chaya told us about the history of the event and then entered the fray – noise, wonderful, busy and full of fun – Phuket at it’s best.
