Travel Forum / Destinations / Asia / August 2005

Can anybody who has visited recently provide an update on the recovery
activities in the Phuket area?  How much evidence of the tsunami remains?
Are services completely back to normal?  What is the atmosphere of the
place?  Is there a lot of construction activity going on?  If you have any
information on the JW Marriott hotel on Mai Khao beach, that would be
useful.

Thanks in advance.
