Best place to get nails done in Phuket or Langkawi????
 
Hi there,
just wondering if you can get your nails done at either of these beach areas. If so, please let me know where and the approximate cost.
Thanks
Donna

Don't know about Langkawi but Phuket any beaches has ladies who will do your nails, it is a very relaxing experience, they take a great deal of time, usually about B 150-180, so B 200 is fine if they have done well and you enjoy it! Therre are also ( if you don't want to do it on the beach ) countless beauty salons everywhere, Thais take a great pride in appearance and you would be wise to take the opportunity for manicure, pedicure, facial, hair, massage whilst you are there, one of the great joys in life!

Thanks again James,
your help is much appreciated. Do you live in Thailand? It sounds like you have a lot of knowledge and tips to share with fellow travellers.

I live in BKK and previously 3 years in Phuket, known Thailand for 15 years+, I am just lucky enough to have been to these places, though my opinions are only my own, based on what I have seen and where I have visited, we all like different things, I believe what we make out of a place is really 90%+ up to 'us', don't expect everything to be perfect, accept that things will and DO go wrong, learn not to worry about them, and realise how minor many so called 'problem' are in reality. I think you can enjoy any trip to any place if you can learn to relax, smile, and whenever in doubt, laugh!!

We went to Bangkok last July and had a fantastic time. I loved it there!We have travelled a lot in Asia and the US and always have a great time, no matter what.
Thanks again

Hi

I had my nails done at the spa in the Berjaya resort in Langkawi. I can't remember the exact cost but it was very cheap compared to the UK where I live!!

Donna, if you are traveling with your partner make him have his done too! I go once a week and have mine done, it's a great relaxant!!
