Kra Jok See Restaurant Phuket Town
The Kra Jok See in Phuket town is a one of a kind place on the island. It is very small and has no sign on the door, though it is listed in the phone book. There are only about 8 tables and they only do one seating per night. This is a place to go with a date/spouse because after dinner (which is very good traditional Thai) the mix-master starts spining some cool tunes, and the waitress, a former professional dancer from France, starts going around the room and dragging people from their chairs and onto the floor. She is an excellent dancer and can make even the most clod-footed clown feel like Fred Astaire. Soon the whole restaurant knows each other and everyone is dancing. Arrive at 7:30 - 8:00 PM and plan to stay until midnight. A vert nice alternative to the bad discos at the beach.

The Elephant Village was opened in 1973 as a sanctuary for former working elephants. These elephants, through reasons of injury or ill health, can no longer be used as a part of the backbone of heavy work in the jungles of Thailand. Also because of their diminishing habitat, it is now longer possible to return them to the wild. The Elephant Village provides these magnificent creatures with a safe haven, where they may live out their lives with dignity and freedom from fear. Spend the afternoon being entertained by the big tuskers, see them having a bath and how they were once used as a working animal. The elephant show includes demonstrations of training techniques, bathing, traditional roundup methods and the Glong Sabad Chai Ceremony with a war elephant. At the end of the show, visitors will have the opportunity to take a short ride on an elephant for an extra cost.
