TripsThailand.com CLUB MED PHUKET

The aquamarine waters of Phuket's Kata beach
provide the idyllic backdrop for Club Med, a name that denotes happiness for millions of men and women. Happiness of being in exceptional places, in environments which Club Med takes great care to preserve. Such a place is Club Med Phuket — on one of the world's most spectacular islands. Along the pearl-white coastline, Club Med has scattered traditional-style beach houses.

There, guests are in the care of multinational GOs (gentle organizers), all trained in the art of helping visitors enjoy their vacations. There is no shortage of ways to do that. The buffet tables teem with freshly caught seafood, salads, fruits and pastries. The sporting activities line-up includes snorkelling, sailing and windsurfing to tennis, golf and squash. Tuition and equipment are free.

Children, too, can have a ball at the Mini Club for four- to seven-year-olds and the Kids Club for eight- to twelve-year-olds. They, too, will make new friends, learn arts and crafts, even a, bit of acting. Night time at Club Med is truly magical — cocktails on the beach, sunset views from the balcony or a stroll along moonlit paths. There is always a dazzling

cabaret show, a party, even a Broadway musical at the village — all, of course, free.
To gain a more complete sense of Thailand, guests should take a day trip exploring Phuket, with a friendly GO as a guide. Before leaving, top up with Thai arts and crafts and exclusive Club Med fashions at the exotic boutique. All part of the "happiness" experience at Club Med, Phuket.
