We arrived in Phuket on March 4, 2006 and checked into Sheraton Grande Laguna Phuket....a gorgeous hotel at Bang Tao Bay.
Here's what they say in their website :
"Built on an island surrounded by a saltwater lagoon and linked by a series of bridges, pontoon boats, overlooking a two mile stretch of white sandy beach on Bang Tao Bay. Three wings cluster around manicured tropical gardens, waterways and a series of interconnecting free form swimming pools. Effectively two hotels in one, offering both resort rooms and Grande Villas."
Check out our room.
Isn't the place beautiful? (More pix later)
We had a leisurely first day. The organiser brought us to Wat Chalong...
Check out the spectacular view along the way
....and then to Patong Beach.......
Night view of the hotel
Jai was so tired, that he totally knocked out the first night in Phuket! 
Here he is....all bright and chirpy after a good night's rest. This is his out-of-bed look.
Since the poor ol' boy had to work that day, I kept myself occupied by exploring the hotel.
Took the hotel ferry across the lagoon to the Canal Village for some shopping.
This is me....all ready to go out for the evening.
We had dinner at this wonderful restaurant on a hill (of sort) and overlooking the ocean
With me is Shi Ling from The Star
One of the GO GO Bars
The next day was free and easy. Jai and I decided to use the hotel facilities and to explore the place further....so we went kayaking.....
and cycling......
There was a beautiful chapel by the lagoon.......
In the evening, Jai tried to teach me how to play pool....but gave up coz I just don't have the knack for it!
We took the ferry around the place...(this place is really fantastic...you can either cycle or take the ferry for a leisurely ride around the property). There are many places to explore:
