Q.  Thailand has miles of coastline on both its coasts. I was curious about the stretch north of Phuket. Can you tell me anything about it? Are there hotels or does one have to remain in Phuket to explore?
A.  There are some very fine hotels that have sprung up in the area. So there is no need to find accommodation in Phuket, although it is possible to rent a car which is available in Royal Orchid Holidays Fly-Drive progeamme, and make the drive with ease. The roads are excellent.
