Club Med Phuket

Hi
Our Club Med here in South Africa are offering the total all inclusive of drinks all day/night and all day snacks on top of the normal inlcusive meals and drinks - the top up fee to do this is not bad at all. I did not realise that Phuket offered this service - anyone been offered it and used it?

hi lea

this has been around in the asian villages for a while. It's a wristband that you buy for the week..(which i assume will be included in that package price from South Africa. ) It allows you all local spirits and beer and softdrinks. No topshelf at all. and only basic cocktails not elite cocktails. Basically to make it worthwhile you have to drink quite a bit most nights but if you are big drinkers and don't mind the local whiskey, rum, vodka etc..then it's fine...but if you like your brands e.g Jack Daniels, Tanqueray, Absolut etc then they will cost you on top of the wrist band that you have paid for. The local beer in Phuket, as in draught beer is Carlsberg if that helps. But if you're willing to drink your money's worth then go for it. (The travel agent should be able to enquire as to how much you will be paying extra for the wristband)...so if it works for you...go for it. Oh another thing to note is you can't shout people drinks on the wristband..each person must get their own drink....
