We are a family of 3, Geoff works as a Physics Teacher and I am a School Counsellor. I am originally from Portugal and Geoff is from the UK. We love to travel and have done many house exchanges, house sits in the past although not for the past 6 years. Our son is 19 and currently lives in Scotland, and our daughter is 16 and lives with us. We have 1 dog and 5 cats, street rescues from Thailand. We have lived in Thailand for 4 years, in Bangkok and now in Phuket. Previously we lived in Tanzania and prior to that in the UK.
We are adventurous, love trying out new things, visiting new places and meeting people. We also like peace and quiet and our new home is private and quiet but close to bars and restaurants, and the beach!

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Quiet neighbourhood, close to the beach, shops, bars and restaurants. It is a mix of Thai and tourist restaurants and shops, very low key and there are parts of the beach that are virtually empty.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
From our house you can walk to various decent restaurants on and off the beach. The main attraction here is the beach although there is plenty to explore on the island with a car or scooter. There are waterfalls, bike and walking trails, viewpoints, shopping centres and of course beautiful beaches. Phuket Town is also a good place to visit, lots of great local cafes, restaurants and a few museums. There is also, of course, excellent diving off the island, particularly in the Similan Islands.
This is a great website for information:

Our favourite restaurant is the Beach Cuisine, great location and good food and only a short walk from the house. There are also plenty of bars and eateries on the beach, good for fresh fish in the evenings.
