hen party ideas in Phuket

What about the lady boy show?

Simon cabaret?

We saw the show in April and its hilarious and would be a blast for a girlie night out,I dont see why kids could not go as its very tame,no nudity or anything like that,just lots of very pretty lady boys in dresses dancing and singing.I loved it as a good laugh.

Thanks - I'll suggest it and see how it goes down!

Any other ideas anyone?

So many things you could do..

have a try dive(scuba diving)

Go elephant trecking

There are a few go cart places around Phucket

Serious shopping trip

Phucket zoo

Paragliding

The list is endless.

Yell if you need any advise on where to go.

Thanks - it is a little overwhelming in some ways! - I've been looking online at things, the thing is that a) cost is factor - the wedding was slightly 'sprung' upon people so I don't think people want to spend a fortune but b) this may well be the only time I get to visit so I'd like to do something that I wouldn't get to do in any other country iyswim?

Have you been elephant trekking? What's it like? Would you recommend it?

Elephant trecking can be fab,we were lucky we got a really nice place(river kwai)and got to ride them bare back and wash them in the river before we set off on the treck.They were so well cared for I loved it.

However I have been to other places where I have felt sad at how the elephants were kept,not cruely but not happy either.

Guess its luck of the draw,I have not done it on Phucket so have no idea how good it will be,It is something you have to do though.

Option #1: Google "Phuket Richard elephant" and get him to take you on a trip to the Elephant sanctuary. You can ride elephants (rescued ex-working elephants), hang out with a couple of monkeys at the bar, stop off for a drink on the way back. You will get picked up and returned to your hotel. Takes about half a day so plenty of time for a Thai massage followed by drinks in the afternoon.

If you can't find it, let me know - I probably still have his contact info in an old email.

We did this as entertainment at H's company's sales meeting and had a blast!

Option #2: Thai cooking course. There is a place where you can do an all-day course where you go shopping at the market, then cook food overlooking the beach, and eat it afterwards. Someone who accompanies their H at the sales meeting did this one day and thought it was fantastic. I can get details if this appeals.

thanks bostongirl - will look up the elephant guy's details. The cooking day sounds fab, but unfortunately I don't think many people will go for it (I'll suggest it anyway though)

Just a little bounce to see if anyone else has any ideas or recommendations...

Thanks!
