July 9th, 2009 Jammin’ in Phuket Rising from the Ashes
For experienced travelers looking for the perfect and heavenly five-star hotel, Phuket is one of the world’s most splendid destinations. The accommodations here are absolutely stunning, featuring all the things one would expect from hotels that meet or exceed the highest standards in the industry. With 24 hour room service, amazing food prepared by world-class chefs, splendid decor, and absolutely stylish rooms that highlight space and light, your stay in Phuket will be a marvelous one.
The hotels match the place, with a long tradition of hospitality and a deep love for the good life. One of Thailand’s most beautiful islands, Phuket has a long and complex history. Part of the trade routes for India and China, it has a history of cultural exchange, and the place itself is very diverse, yet still very Thai in spirit. Phuket also has a reputation for its extremely vivacious night life, and there are all types of entertainments to be found. Visitors who don’t know its reputation should investigate before diving in. There are some truly excellent clubs, with exciting dance music, lots of techno, and loud and energetic crowds. One bar with a realy interesting recent history is Jammin’. Calling themselves the first Caribbean style club in Phuket, they have lots of live music, from reggae to alternative to pop, Thai food served until 1 am, and a great sound and light system.
And now the interesting history: At the beginning of April, in 2006, while the owners were at another location nearby, they smelled smoke and came to see Jammin’ burn to the ground. The owners promised they would rebuild and the club would return. They did not lay off a single employee, and everyone worked together to re-make the club, and on April 28th, Jammin’ re-opened. The fire was likely caused by faulty wiring, which has been repaired, and the club is back, less than a month later!
