#1 Phuket? That's an airline I would definitely pick if I were a moose-limb. I recommend it wholeheartedly. Hope they would be Phuked (or is it Phuketed?) well.

#3 This is just stupid. There are people in need of clean drinking water, medical care and facilities, decent housing, etc. -- and they're gonna fly a handful Mulims to the hajj? Though the final price tag isn't given, Toxin should pull the plug on this boon-doggle.

#4 Indonesia has recently launched a new airline called Paradise Airways - I kid you not.

#6 BTW, Phuket Air is rather new - and so is its fleet. Compare to some domestic carriers in the US, heh. I've flown ON Phuket TO and FROM Phuket several times. I'd worry far more about United and American... If I'd known how you'd get off on the name, I'd have brought you back a t-shirt, heh.

#8 always makes me chuckle that the two most popular destinations for westerners is phuket and bangkok , but then again my humour can be fairly limited and self explanitory :P
Oh and pres tell how they are pronounced for the sake of me being stoopid .

#9 Phuket is a variation on Bukit, the Malay word for hill. It's pronounced somewhere between poo-ket and boo-kit

#12 What a capital idea! Let's send a few hundred members of our already agitating Muslim population to visit the seat of radical Islamism for weeks of intensive training as jihadis. Then we'll bring 'em back home and gape in astonishment as even more unrest occurs.

Buncha fricking maroons.
