Phuket

Perhaps you read about the plane crash which killed 88 people in Puket Provence, Thailand.

The name alone started me off on a search for more information.

Apparently it is pronounced "Poock-get".


I found out some interesting things. There are beautiful beaches and a robust tourist trade. 12 million visitors a year. New Orleans had 10.1 million visitors in 2004, our best year.


I'm thinking vacation.
