Phuket, once a tin mining island backwater, became a trendy holiday resort in the late 1970s. By the 1990s the main areas like Patong were sleaze traps for tourists, with transvestites and prostitutes vying for trade in a thousand hole-in-the-wall bars.
But every night the sun still sets on the Andaman Sea in spectacular style. As it slips below the horizon the sky bursts into mother natures light show. Hookers and pimps, drug dealers and drunks, stop and admire in unison, before going back to their world.
