have now been completed within Phuket. I know, just call me the lucky one. Every night I thank my lucky stars for Phuket. We only came for Christmas&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So when I say I love, love, LOVE these villas, well I&#8217;ve seen a few! When combined with the Anantara hospitality, amazing food, brilliant activities program, fabulous pool area, it&#8217;s a winner of a Thai holiday weekend for us.<\/p>\n<p>For many of you unable to travel I hope this will inspire you for the bright days ahead. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.littlewanderingwren.com\/staging\/8794\/2021\/07\/13\/phuket-sandbox-would-you-could-you-should-you\/\">Phuket Sandbox<\/a> is a start, a precursor to reopening elsewhere in Thailand.

I would suggest some wheels to explore the island, but many people I chatted with were not planning to venture out at all. Mai Khao area is quiet but things are opening up and you have the choice of walking to other hotels for dining.
