Club Med Phuket

I am thinking of going to Phuket in June/July and just wondered whether the CDV and the GO's there are a friendly bunch. I am an older single (but young at heart!) person and a good team makes a great difference. The last CDV I encountered was jean Marc Desy and his team was great..

Hey. I just got back from Phuket about 2 or 3 weeks ago. If the team is to stay the same till june/july, i'm sure you'll enjoy yourself.

hey i was just in phuket 2 weeks ago too so we may probably have met each other as there were not many people at that time. the team there is great fantastic! i would say. very welcoming, very nice people, without being overly friendly & touchy.

you will have fun i'm sure! can't wait to make another trip there again.

yep, the current team is a friendly bunch. Look out for mike at the golf centre - he's aussie. I am thinking of going phuket in August again

Have fun

Yeah we probably met.

Don't worry... You'll have fun. :D

Thanks everyone for your replies. It sounds very good..so I better make a decision. I think there's pretty good deals going at the moment which makes it all the better! I know it could be rainy then, but I guess tropical rain and warm weather still make for a good holiday..

I have decided to go from 23/6 for 11 nights. I am a little concerned about the weather, but I assume if it rains, it wouldn't rain all day.. And I know each week is different, so this is really a pretty stupid question, but has the club been busy? I'm wondering if it attracts many Europeans?

Well I've just returned from my trip and I must say, the GO's were about the friendliest I've ever encountered on my many CM trips. It was a really good holiday. The weather started out being overcast and rainy, but still very steamy of course. But there were also days with sun peeking out of the clouds. So there were still many hours to be had soaking up the sun. On the overcast days, it was good to go shopping and visiting Phuket. For me, it was probably a better scenario than blazing sun every day. Anyway, hello to anyone who remembers the lady with the blue glasses!!
As I always say, CM is about who you meet and I was lucky to meet some lovely people and the GO's made me feel very comfortable. What a great team!!

Wow! Vivette, your post-trip post just narrowed down my village choice for my next CM vacation this Aug/Sep. I was also concerned about rain spoiling the outdoor fun, but the boisterous cheers from screaming GMs at showtime (heard on GO76's video) and the swell time you had with the friendly Phuket GOs have me sold on Phuket!

I am going to Club Med Phuket in early SEPTEMbER!!! I cannot wait. It will be my 4th time visiting, and I cannot wait. My friends are there--Wana, Jasmine, and Fiona(well I think she just left).......and I cannot wait to meet other people. I am also going to Cherating.....cannot wait!! I LOVE CLUB MED

Hey Gingerbread
It's because of you that I went up to Jin at reception (she was the only name I remembered you mentioning!!) and asked whether she read this website and if she knew you. And of course she did. What a gorgeous girl she is. So I have to thank you for that. I am missing Phuket and the great people there now that I'm back home in cold Melbourne!

i absolutely agree - phuket is absolutely the best club med in south east asia i must say - everything there is great & the team has so far been wonderful, even with the change of GOs!

Hi Vivette,
Oh my gosh Jin is back in Phuket?!!! I so did not know that. Thats great. Shes very nice, yes :). I miss her a lot. I got a letter from her awhile ago, when she took a break last season. I hope to see her in september when I go back to phuket! who else did u meet? what were ur favorite shows? Did you meet Cyrene, the australian chinese GO?

Hi Gingerbread
I don't think Cyrene was there. I met Sharon (archery), Shannon (mini club), Nicolas (office), Ben (chief of sports), Glen (head of Lifeguards), Georgie (fitness)- really probably met many more but the names slip away.. Probably they should all be there in Sept..but who knows.. I'd love to return this year, cos by next year, it will probably be much different..Just a matter of money..!! As for shows, really I watched bits of them but didn't focus on them. (probably stayed at dinner too long and kept talking to people through them!) And there was usually some other activity after that around the bar and then the live band..

oh thats cool! Yeah i found out from Jin(talked to her on the phone) that Cyrene is in Singapore for the time being. She may come back to phuket on vacation or something, dont know. Did you meet Wana, Jasmine? THey are both Thai girls...very nice. Phuket is an awesome place, I cant wait to be there again!!! I hope to meet many more people this year!!

Gingerbr75...

Wana's still in Phuket and I have already told her that you're going there. Jusmine is Lindemans now.

Cheers!!!

Aw! Thats sad.....Jasmine is great, oh well--I know I'll see her again soon. Lindeman is pretty different from Phuket! Wow. Shes in the same place as my Australian friend TIKA>>>:) Anyways, cant wait to go! I talked to Wana and Jin the other day.....hehe!
