Like many expats in Phuket, when I first arrived on the island I had grand plans of immediately getting my scuba diving certification and taking advantage of the incredible diving opportunities right on my doorstep.

Gadabout cyclists living in Phuket are continually in search of more benign, bike-friendly venues in which to enjoy their passion. Naturally enough, many such cycling getaways tend to be found across the Sarasin Bridge, which a waggish friend recently described as being “where Thailand really starts”.

For someone who’s climbed the biggest mountains in the world, parachuted from hot air balloons and travelled from Europe to South America on a row boat, you wouldn’t think Phuket training instructor Luke Richmond would find crossing the Gobi Desert one of the most physically demanding challenges he’s ever attempted.

The Phuket Botanic Garden opened in 2012 and for a while, I was reluctant to visit obvious tourist attractions (call me a cynic). I mean… we have plenty of plants in our garden and we don’t have to pay to see them!

Mövenpick Hotels and Resorts’ Little Birds Clubs offer fun activities for young guests
Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts’ Little Birds Clubs offer fun activities for young guests
Friday 21 July 2017, 11:01AM
Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts is giving young guests a chance to spread their wings by introducing a unique program of fun and educational activities at its Little Birds Clubs around the world. From cooking and dancing classes with a local twist, to eco trails, bird-watching and much more, children and their families are being invited to try an exciting roster of signature ‘Little Birds’ experiences, which complement the existing kids’ club activity schedules. This one-of-a-kind Little Birds Club initiative is part of the recently-launched ‘Mövenpick Family’ program, which is designed to help parents focus on what really matters — creating family memories. Targeting young guests aged two to 12, the Little Birds Club program, which is available at all Mövenpick properties with in-house kids’ clubs, focuses on five areas: • Local flair activities to help young guests learn about the local culture through art, craft or music; • Family activities that encourage parents and their children to have fun together such as dance classes or fitness challenges; • Environmentally-friendly activities that promote the importance of protecting the planet, which are aligned to Mövenpick’s Corporate Social Responsibility program ‘Shine’; • Cooking classes that provide fun food experiences, in line with Mövenpick’s culinary heritage, and promote the new Power Bites healthy kids’ menu; • A library packed full of children’s books, which young guests can borrow and read in their hotel room at their leisure. These experiences are both authentic and fun, with many stand out examples found at Mövenpick properties around the world. At Mövenpick’s Little Birds Clubs in Asia, activity highlights include a visit to the organic garden followed by Thai cooking classes at Mövenpick Resort & Spa Karon Beach Phuket; folding coconut leaves into animal shapes at Mövenpick Resort Bangtao Beach Phuket; an ‘adopt-a-plant’ initiative and Ukelele guitar lessons at Mövenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu; and traditional Balinese ying kite making plus basic Balinese language lessons at Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali. In North Africa, Little Birds experiences range from Nubian dancing and henna tattoo painting at Mövenpick Resort Aswan and Bedouin-inspired arts and crafts at Mövenpick Resort Taba, both in Egypt, to using recycled materials to design toys, plus garden tours at Mövenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi Marrakech, Morocco. In Jordan, Mövenpick Resort & Residences Aqaba is teaching children Arabian Dabke dance steps, offering live sand art demonstrations and educating them about Red Sea marine life, while at Mövenpick Resort & Spa Tala Bay Aqaba, the action-packed itinerary includes organic garden tours, painting classes and the ‘Famolympics’ where all family members tackle pool and beach obstacle courses together. Properties in the Middle East are also on board, with young guests treated to beachside bird-watching at Mövenpick Beach Resort Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia and arts and crafts sessions at Mövenpick Ibn Battuta Gate Hotel Dubai. And at Mövenpick Hotel Stuttgart in Germany, kids are invited into the property’s kitchen for a journey of discovery. The ‘Mini Kitchen’ experience immerses them in a culinary world where they learn about local ingredients, cooking styles and the service traditions of their destination. The Little Birds Club is one of five new facets of the ‘Mövenpick Family’ program. The other four are: special room discounts; the Power Bites healthy kids’ menu; complimentary on-demand baby essentials; and other amenities and services ranging from kids’ TV channels to babysitting.   For more details about the family experiences being offered at Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts worldwide, visit www.movenpick.com/family

There’s always something new to find in the Andaman area. Just about a year ago we found a newly opened viewpoint in Phang Nga, not far from Phuket, called Samet Nangshe – and it was quite a find, hardly known a year ago, it has now appeared on quite a few tour itineraries and websites.

The Racha islands, situated 20 kilometres south of Phuket, are better known for scuba diving than cycling, but I decided to head over there anyway with my mountain bike to see what I could find. I was very glad that I did!

Krabi Town is just 60 kilometres across the bay from Phuket Town, but more like 160km, or maybe a little more, by road. But for this trip we left home early and were driving over the bridge from Phuket at 8:30am, and by 10am, we were getting close to Krabi Town.

Singapore’s shining example
Singapore’s shining example
Tuesday 25 April 2017, 04:46PM
For obvious reasons Thailand’s tourism marketers are only too keen to jump aboard the burgeoning global passion for all things cycling related. While avidly trumpeting Phuket’s cycle-friendly environment (did I recently read the clichéd phrase “cyclists’ paradise” in this context?) most of the claims at present are little more than commercial hype. The brutal reality is that Phuket remains one of the most dangerous places you could choose to ride a bike and a sad litany of cycling accidents bare grim testament to this.
